The Future of Innovative Workplaces A socio-spatial investigation of interaction patterns in accelerator and incubator “Laws governing space and society: the law of the object whereby the configurational relations between objects lead to the construction of space, the law from society to space by which different types of social relations require different type of spatial pattern, and law from society to space such that spatial structure has its effects back on society.� Bill Hillier The Nature of the Artificial (1985)

I. ACADEMIC WORK 1.1 Future of Innovative Workplace Year: 2019-2020 Location: London Program: Workplace Individual Work
Project Description The Covid-19 pandemic was catalyst towards shaping the future of the workplace. This shift from a physical workplace to a virtual one was an eye opener to many organizations, especially innovative workplaces (incubators, accelerators, co-working spaces, and FabLabs) to adapt to more flexible mode of working. This resulted in second guessing the importance of the physical environment and its influence on shaping organizational culture. The aim of this study is to build an understanding of the parameters needed to shape decisions made towards changing the mode of working in innovative workplace. For this purpose, this research investigates the major influences that lead to the emergence of organizational cultures, from organizational goals, spatial influences, social structure, and technology. Using analytical and empirical methods of research to assess human behaviour in the physical environment of accelerator and incubator programs, calculated decisions can be made in implementing new modes of working to innovative workplaces without impacting their organizational culture. The results suggest that collaboration affordances in accelerator and incubator workplaces are driven by organizational goals and common social ties, but space plays a major factor in spontaneous face-to-face interactions.

Space and Behaviour Axial Analysis help predict potential movement in space VS. Actual movement shows that individuals use the main corridors to move around making them potential spaces for interaction affordances. Nevertheless, people in offices move towards attractors, and it is the placement of these attractors in space that are the primary drivers of movement. Thus a justified analysis was conducted comparing the location of attractors to all other spaces in the graph reflecting how deep they are in the model. The analysis was compared to movement in space as people went towards meeting room, social areas, or workstations...

Chance Encounters and Social Groups Human behaviour in space creates a field of probabilistic encounters allowing for the formation of interaction affordances. In the case of Founders Factory, chance encounters were addressed by investigating potential for interaction patterns as people move concurrently in space and cross-paths. The Social Network Analysis (SNA)illustrates potential for interactions across social groups as the move in space. The results of the analysis shows that movement in space creates probabilities for interaction patters across all social groups,primary between operations and across operations and start-ups. Nevertheless,interaction affordances between different start-ups seem to be the lowest.

Social Boundaries
Social boundaries were evident in the case of accelerator and incubator programs. Spatial proximity and chance encounters were didn’t play a role in interaction patterns. Rather, conceptual closeness was the primary factor for interaction patterns. The SNA across workstations shows that interactions were between members of the same team. Proximity of different start-ups didn’t instigate interactions. As for movement,it also bound by social ties whereby as people moved in space, they interacted with people they needed to collaborate with. Nevertheless, under the umbrella of common ties, space played a major influencer of spontaneous face-to-face interactions and facilitated work. Hence, in the case of FF distributed work might be an advantageous mode of working.

London Bridges: Tale of Two Cities The Boroughs of City and Southwark: From Disconnection to Integration “In the midst of this homage, Mr Arthur Clennam offered his arm to Little Dorrit, and Little Dorrit took it. ‘Will you go by the Iron Bridge,’ said he,‘where there is an escape from the noise of the street?’ Charles Dickens Little Dorit Book 1 Chapter 9

I. ACADEMIC WORK 1.2 London Bridges Year: 2019-2020 Location: London Program: Urban regeneration Group Work
Project Description In the analytical exploration of the built environment across the bridges of central London, space syntax methodology was used to understand the current situation of the built environment across various levels: spatial and trans-spatial between both boroughs of City, Southwark, and the three connecting bridges ( London Bridge, Southwark Bridge, and Millennium Bridge). Certain spatial issues were uncovered across three scales: macro, meso, and micro which were later addressed using evidence- based design proposal. On a macro scale, the implementation of the “ring of steel” policy in City has significantly affected the traffic flow through Southwark bridge, leaving the bridge to fail at a vehicular level and causing high levels of congestion across London and Blackfriars bridges. On a meso scale, pedestrian flow across City riverside was broke in two areas across the promenade, one between Millennium and Southwark Bridge and the other between Southwark and London Bridge. The situation was different in Southwark, whereby the fluidity of the route and attractors allowed for a continuous movement throughout the promenade. Finally, at a micro level, the disparity between the two public realms of both riversides and Southwark Bridge was obvious from the gate count observations. Tourists were not able to find the stairs linking the promenades on both riversides to Southwark’s bridge. The aim behind this investigation is to provide an evidence-based design strategy to reconnect both boroughs.

Macro Scale Problematic Ring of Steel
After the implementation of the “ring of steel� policy the vehicular network of Southwark road was affected by pedestrianization of Queens street. The significance of vehicular function of Southwark bridge was reflected upon the vehicular spatial analysis model reflects upon the effect of the ring of steel policy on the choice of vehicular flow across Southwark bridge. Car flow data from Transport of London open data illustrated the high vehicular flow through London Bridge in relation to low vehicular flow at Southwark Bridge. To further investigate the need for vehicular route across Southwark Bridge, a choice analysis of radius 10,000 shows that potentially the removal of the vehicular function does not affect the vehicular flow across both Boroughs.

Meso Scale Problematic The flow of pedestrian movement across City riverside was broke in two areas across the promenade, one between Millennium and Southwark Bridge and the other between Southwark and London Bridge. As for Southwark riverside, the continuous path along the riverside allows for high level of pedestrian flow. This was reflected in the pedestrian model (High resolution model) emphasized at a more global scale (radius n). The pedestrian model picks up the significance of Southwark Bridge at a more local scale, as shown in radius 2000. The knee level VGA analysis also reflects a strong integration with the pedestrian network. The gate count findings proves that Southwark Bridge is used by pedestrians, mainly workers at rush hours; also showing a significance in the number of cyclists at that hour compared to the adjacent bridges. As for Millennium and London Bridge they are highly used during the week by locals and tourists. # of ppl LOW

Micro Scale Problematic A disparity between the two public realms of both riversides and Southwark Bridge was obvious from the gate count observations. Tourists were not able to find the stairs linking the promenades on both riversides to Southwark’s bridge. The six connectors across the bridge have issues of visibility as reflected in the visibility graph analysis. Moreover, the design of all six stairs allow for a smooth pedestrian flow across the two public realms.

Strategy
Strategy - Macro scale
Strategy - Meso scale
Strategy - Micro scale
The proposed new masterplan intervenes at three levels: meso,macro, and micro. At the meso scale, an off-setted floating deck is constructed across the discontinuous portion of City promenade, allowing for dynamic flow of pedestrian activity. As for Southwark Bridge, it is converted into a shared space between pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport allowing for a better integrated public realm across the two boroughs. Replacing the vehicular function of the bridge, a tramway will be introduced to shorten the distance travelled across both Boroughs. The shared space stretches from Guildhall in City to a public garden in Southwark and extends to public pockets of both boroughs creating a dynamic system of public space. To weld the disparity between the riverside and shared space, the connectors will be redesigned. Across City riversides, wide ramps on both sides of the shared space link to the floating deck allowing for an easy accessibility of pedestrians, cyclist,and the handicaped. From Southwark riverside, on one side,the hidden stairs is replaced by a visible glass stairs, on the other side, the abandoned financial times building it will be elevated on pillars where an amphitheatre connects both public realms. 26

The Visual Graph Analysis (VGA) illustrates the potential impact of the interventions at different scales. As a meso scale, the continuous riverside (in red) represent a high level of integration, hence a high level of movement. Southwark Bridge turned into a shared space, allows the connection between both boroughs to reach its full potential. Also, by making the access points between the two public realms helps with creating a fluid movement flow.

I. ACADEMIC WORK 1.1 Bachoura’s Industrial Hub Year: 2016-2017 / Final Year Project Location: Bachoura Program: Mixed Use ( Work-Live) Individual Work
Project Description Located minutes away from Beirut Central District, Bachoura is an upcoming area for business development and start-ups such as Beirut Digital District. Historically, the area was the heart of commerce whereby different markets known as “souks” where divided along Bachoura’s streets; such as farmers market “ Souk el khodra” and Butcher’s market “Souk el Lahameen”. The area also had an industrial side, whereby the carpenter’s market “Souk el Najreen” and the Antique Market “ Souk el Itaq” played a vital role in making Bachoura the centre of furniture trade. Nowadays, none of these markets exist except for the antique market which is struggling due to the emergence of mass-produced furniture. In the middle of Bachoura, a bridge divides the area to two parts, known as Upper Bachoura and Lower. The bridge creates not only a physical barrier but also a visual one due to its proximity to surrounding buildings. Moreover, the traffic caused by junction points on the bridge and under it causes a great deal of noise pollution. The under-bridge is used as a local gathering point and parking space for cars and motorcycles, that explains a great deal as to what this community lacks. What kind of spaces do communities need? From “ Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns” by David Engwicht, he states that communities are in need of exchange spaces, a network of pedestrian connection, and projects that can be initiated and implemented by communities. However, the issue still lies in the lack of space in such a congested area. Hence the solution lies in the reformation of residual spaces, that create immediate opportunities for linkage and re-adaption of open space usage.

1.2 Beirut a Walkable City
Year: 2016/ Fifth Year Location: Beirut Program: Urban Fieldwork Group work
Project Description Beirut a walkable city was the main theme of our urban studio. The class was divided into six groups, each handed a specific area of study. Different data was collected during our field studies from urban typologies, main functions, transportation routes, etc.… After the six groups assembled their data into one map, the common denominator across all areas was the lack of public spaces. Hence, each group worked on a strategy and area of intervention. Towards the end, all six groups connected their strategies along the most relevant landmarks, streets, historical buildings,etc… in order to create a route of accessible public spaces throughout the city of Beirut. Our group of three tackled the area of Manara towards Independence street. We divided the area along three main horizontal streets: Corniche, Bliss Street, and Hamra. Along these streets we located the main functions, landmarks, historical buildings, and real estate value… Also tackling social issues such as gentrification and social belts around certain areas, we located different public spaces across these three significant areas and analyzed their accessibility, functions, proximity to parking space. Finally, our strategy was to create an experience for the city dweller to walk along a route connecting different landmarks, historical buildings, main streets and most importantly public spaces. We decided to intervene in certain areas by adding different functions along these routes to make the experience more interesting.

The Concentration of the people visiting Sanayeh Garden is usually in the center of the park. as you move away from the center, fewer numbers of people are seen. This could be due to the clustrophobic effect caused by the high-rise buildings around the park and due to the walls of the park which enclose it, all in relation to the size of the park.

As a member of the execution team, I was one of the site architects on the project. My tasks varied from execution drawings in coordination with the main consultant’s office, in addition to site inspections. This project was my first handful experience on site, whereby I learned a lot about site management and how different entities of the project work together to achieve the final outcome. I was mainly exposed to concrete work, partitioning and finishing stages. The team was keen on finishing in time, hence a lot of management work was done in coordination with subcontractors to provide the material requested by consultants.

This is an in-house consulting and contracting project, whereby I was one of the site architects. My tasks varied from design coordinator to site inspections, in addition to consulting with clients on design layouts. As a design coordinator, my job was to work on architectural execution drawing and follow up with structural and mechanical engineers. Moreover, I worked closely with clients on re-designing their apartment layouts according to their wishes. A lot of manegerial work was learned from this project, especially working in coherence with the mechanical and electrical teams to make the proper changes in ID apartments, in addition to constant site inspections to make sure all modifications are being applied correctly.

Project Description
A
Burj 220 is a commercial building in Tyre, south of Lebanon consisting of double height retail shops on the ground level, and office spaces on the first and second floor. Relevant to the client’s needs to have all the retail shops of the same value, an open U-shaped building was designed with a landscaped parking space in front of it. As part of the design team I worked on the conceptual renders and preliminary drawings for the project.
