Statement
I am a freshly graduated architect, I got my Bachelor in Damascus University in 2014, shortly afterwards I made an internship in AFC engineering, which a famous architectural office in Syria, during that time I was in the WASH team in the Syrian Red Crescent, in which I also worked on some Architectural problems regarding refugees and sheltering centers. Currently, I am getting my master Degree in Architecture in Hochschule Wismar in Wismar Germany, I am still at my first semester. I am very good at conceptual Architecture as well as architectural software (especially Autocad, Revit), I also have some experience in field work and technical aspects for executing projects and designs.
I tried to keep this portfolio informative as much as possible, I only included projects that represent my abilities and way of thinking and designing. To see one more small project I took part in, kindly go here

Site Analysis
Consept
East Tigara Community Center
The land of the project lies in the center of a neighborhood that lacks any activities to support urban life, Even though it has large green zones and public parks. Yet they are not designed appropriately to interest the local dwellers to visit them and spend time. It contains an empty public lot and a garden with an abandond children play ground along with a dried out small river. The neighbor lacks meeting places such
The children play ground
ENTRACNCES The project zone has a main entrance axis facing the st`reet that leads to the main road, whereas the garden has 3 entrances.
GARDEN will support the project’s role with enriching the local residents lives. Both the structure and the garden will have an integral role in attracting the local dwellers.
FUNCTIONS The project functions were distributed around a central space (plaza), with consideration to their relationship to the street.
MOVEMENT, ACTIVITIES The garden is designed in a way that makes it obligatory for people to pass through various activity points.
gyms, clubs and cafes, also some city utilities are missing. Residents have to commute for long distances to reach such facilities. This leads them to spread around the city and avoid meeting their neighbours, especially in the evenings and holydays. The region has a desert climate; temperature and sunshine are extreme during the summer season.
The small River
CHILDREN’S PLAY Placing the children playground in the center of the garden will get the adults (parents) to meet each other as they sit around play zone to watch their children.

Dynamic Roof Structure The goal was to design a local small public swimming pool and to find a fully detailed structuralsolution for the facility.The study also had to include a practical mobile roof for the swimming pool, a roof thatcan be opened by summer and closed by winter.
Consept The swimming pool was required to be about 18*35 meters along with all its standard facilities. Seats for 500 viewers were required as well. The given project zone has a relatively small area. And the pool structure had to be adequate and designed careful not to waste space when its erected.

My Role: The complete project includes full executive plans for the structural study. However, The plans, details, and renders shown here focus mainly on the dynamic mobile roof, as it was my role in the project. My responsibility was to come up with an innovative and creative solutions for the roof movement.
Exuctive Plans After many attempts, the final decision was to try to apply a type of mechanical movement t that would allow a simple linear force moving the beams in one direction to result a vast radial motion around the center of the structure. This solution succeeds in conserving a considerable area of the land when the roof is opened.

Cover Plate and the location of the beam The structural system consists of a round wide frame truss supported by 6 metallic columns. The system hold up the dynamic roof that is made of 24 I-beams, 12 cover plates and 6 hydraulic hydraulic compressors.
First Floor Plan The solution was produced with respect to the circular shape of the roof. The construction system consists of 2 networks; the first one supported the mobile roof ring shaped beam, whereas the second one supports the pool facilities beneath the roof.

Comment This particular retractable roof design remains just a basic mechanical concept that intended to serve architectural and engineering purpose. Even though the various details were carefully researched, corrected and reconsidered many times over the project semester, yet they remained a starting point that needed improvement. In conclusion, the design needed more time and financial resources to be produced perfectly.
Red Crescent Medical Center Damascus university had a general academic plan to develop an informal settlement called “Dahadeel” in the suburbs of Damascus city,The district original lacks any appropriate infrastructure, and during the year 2013 its only clinic was subjected to destruction and vandalism during the conflict in Syria.

Consept
The area of the Project is an informal settlement that was built by locals without any planning, thus it lacks any kind of governmental services.
PLANS
The selected zone is at an intersection of 2 relatively wide streets, which would allow private cars as well as ambulances to reach the center.
In the selected land,two badly damaged one-story building where to demolish to provide a small area for the project to be constructed.

Dariya Post-war Reconstruction A summury of Graduation Thesis The project was an attempt toward a different method of rebuilding war-damaged districts in Syria, an attempt that wasn’t only focused on the physical rebuilding of the cities, but rather on the social and economic sustainable rehabilitation of the cities.
Project Type: Academic Graduation Thesis Collaborative Project, Students: Marina Abo Zedan. Mhd Haian Al Zouabi, Zuhar Al Jundi. Suporvisor: Dr. Proffesor. Emad Al-Masri Dummar, New Sham, Damascus, Syria Email: dr.emad.almasri@gmail.com
Summary It takes place in the historical city of Dariya, and it aims to rebuild it after it was severely damaged in the war and to avoid the problems that were affecting Dariya prior to the conflict. The thesis addresses three levels of work, urban planning, urban design and architectrual design. The three levels play integral role in the socail, economic and physical rise of Dariya city. The final result was in association with the following official parties: -General Company for enineering studies and consulting -Directorate of Agriculrural Education -General Order of Farmers in Damasucs Suburbs -Ministry of Agruclture and Livestocks -Governorates of Damasucs and Damasucs Subrubs -The Elected Reprsetive of Dariya’s dwellers, Mr. Hitham Shalati

2.Topography
My Role: I took part in developing the main idea of using sustainable economic development as an opposite toward post-war rebuilding. I also took part in developing the strategy of the urban planning, and with the concept and function of the agricultural high school.
3.History As far as known back in history Dariya was mainly a major producer for agricultural products (especially grapes), this continued up till 1970’s. However in the last decades there has been a strong shift toward industry (especially workshops and furniture industry).
1970-2011 Problems:
Lack of self-sufficiency in food production, as people went for industry which is more profit
The land turned into an informal settlements with no proper public services such as schools.
Poor education was also a rising problem; nearly 50% of children dropped out by age of 15.
Eventually, during 40 years, the hundreds of hectares of farmland and green land dropped down to nearly 30% and turned into irregular concrete buildings. jeopardizing the air pollution and climate of the capital Damascus.
Post 2011 conflict: The project land is nearly 500 hectares. It lies in between a projected residential district (1-2), farmlands and green zones (2-3), the current city of Dariya (3-4) and finally an airport safety offset (4-1)
Originally, the land has been used as farms for thousands of years (a part of the Damascus Ghouta). It is almost flat, it only has some minor water streams. Currently, it has a considerable amount of informally structured masses (mostly houses and factories).
People started constructing houses informally over the fertile farm lands, leading to more imbalance
In 2011 Dariya was one of the most affected cities by the conflict; 75% of its residents flee out, the backbone of the city’s economy (the factories) was nearly destroyed. Strangely however, there was a slight tendency into going back to agriculture among the few people who stayed. by 2013 a rising number of abandoned farms returned to being used.
An Opportunity Toward Reconstruction
Urban Planing (Top level) Strategy
General Plan
The Project idea is to rehabilitate and rebuild the damaged city using a socio-economic sustainable approach on various levels. Hopefully this will restore the economical, urban and social life in Dariya. And provide housing to over 20,000 people.
The urban planning strategy was to maintain the link between Dariya to the south and the projected district to the north. Also to establish a rural link between the two urban settlements. Lastly, an attraction facility was planned to attract people to live in newplanned sector.

Urgent Shelter Response The following proposal represents an emergency plan for sheltering about 500 people that were displaced from their original neighbor in the nearby town due to the battles. The families have been living in temporary tents. The intervention aims to provide a more permanent solution for them, preserving their well being and dignity.
Consept And Considerations Considering its remote location from large cities and ports, along with the difficulty of material and personals transportation due to the conflict, three main challenges faced the project:

Section B-B’
The region architecture is consisted of mud, stone and timber, which are commonly used in a structural method named “Intensified wall” in Arabic فتكملا لكيهلا, it is mainly mud-bricks staffed walls supported by timber beams, and lies on a stone base. The method is extremly economic, as it uses local free materials, it is also thermally efficent, and the locals are familiar with it, therefore they can help in buidling the units 0cm

Sanitaion Unit
The sanitation unit is made out of prefabricated concrete, it has one opened side, which reduces the cost, and makes it easier to attach to the main habitat unit. The unit can be equipped with solar water heater, and/or gas stove. Wall modules are flexible with the ability to put windows and doors in any place needed.
Comment The proposal was submitted on July 2015, unfortunately the advanced executive study was postponed for financial issues.

Revit-Dynamo Dynamo is an open-source software platform for computational design and building information modeling (BIM), I believe the software has very promising future in architecture ands mart design.
The Dynamo has an enarmouas ponetitiols in the design process, and can be used to save time in compilcated Facedes or apaptive design
An Exapmple The project is a sample of the applications of programing in architecture design, it consists an adaptive mass the response to the movement of the sun; designed by Dynamo and then exported to Revit Architecture for further architectrual detailing, it can be theoretically applied on architectural floors, roofs or shades.
Eventually, I export the model to Revit Architecture where I was able to assign and assign materials, get plans, sections, elevations and use it in the project as needed
The use Dynamo Code A mass was created through six points defined by coordinates.
Then, below the mass a grid out of circles whose diameter corresponds to a moving point were made.
The impact of the sun postion on the adaptive grid
A Possible Application This code is done to attach the movement of the solar pannels modeled in Dynamo to the sun’s daily movement in Revit.
Afterwards, I projected the grid on the mass, thus making it an adaptive mass that changes its shape according to sun’s movement .
