M.I. 2019 Portfolio by Mohanned Iskanderani

Mohanned Iskanderani Professional Portfolio

This Portfolio is a collection for most of the professional work I have done since graduating university in 2014 until 2019. I have played major rules in over 12 projects in Saudi and international competitions. My work is not limited to Architecture but extends to the Furniture and Art Design fields. I have been involved heavily in producing all of the projects I worked on through Revit with the implementations of Rhino and Grasshopper. I have worked in teams with over 10 Architects/Interior Designer and led teams in Concept Design/Working Drawings phases. My personal work is very different from the Architectural work I do as it focuses on creating extremely complicated forms that are almost impossible to implement into the Architectural field in Saudi as there are many limitations in doing so. The Art and Furniture design work I do is away for me to free my self from the limitations and boundaries Architecture has.

Oct-2018 - Feb 2019 I was primarily focused on managing all of the architects and lead most of the projects as I was involved in purchasing and installing all of the hardwares and softwares needed to proceed with the work. I was also involved in pricing the projects we receive and set up appropriate deadlines with the resources available. I worked on multipule projects as: UBT Female/Male Campus, ASSLA, Apartment Building and many more smaller projects. EdgeArch, Architect

Aug-2014 to Oct 2018

I was the lead Computational Designer at EdgeArch and have been the first architect to introduce and involve Grasshopper and Rhino into the firm, in-house, and successfully involving these softwares in almost every project. I worked on multiple projects such as: Abha International Airport, Al-Baha Airport, King Saud Sustainable Energy Technology Center, King Saud Advance Manufacturing Institute, Saudi Consulate in Karachi, Al-Taif Children Hospital, Local Library, Al-Madinah Welcoming Center, Ektifa Offices.

Collaborations Aug-2014 - Present Collaborations with Artists I have continuously assisted artists in Saudi Arabia like Sami Angawi, Ahmed Angawi, Nassir and Al-Salim, Dania Al-Saib, and many more others to help realize their projects into reality and mainly by using Rhino and Grasshopper. Dec-2017 - May 2018 Marwan Bajnaid Architect Was one of the main Architects working on Takishi Castle master plan designing most of the project, thats including, the castle, the social hub, and the staff campus. I have also been part of the team to propose over 10 concepts for the Venice Binnale.

Venice Binnale - 2018 Was part of a team that submitted 6 different proposals and made it to the finalist 4 projects.

Digital Implementations of Parametric Design Through the years I have worked at Edge, I have been involved and mainly focused on the concept design stages for every project. I was leading the design of massing, and schematic design phases with the Senior Architects at the firm and implementing any modeling necessary needed through Rhino and Grasshopper while making those geometries easily adjustable or readable in Revit. The below diagrams shows some of the digital processes I got to work on.

Rhino and Grasshopper Workshops I have ran multiple workshops in Jeddah for Rhino and Grasshopper at different universities and private groups. Revit for the Primarily Architectural Model

SITE ANALYSIS: Through the first stages of design, we analyzed the land given by the client to understand the geographical location for where it is and how far are the closest cities to it to understand where the general public and tourist approach to the site will be from. ASSLA is located in an equal distant between the cities of Jeddah and Makkah. It is envisioned to be a major hub for Equestrian sports for the whole region and the middle east with the addition of different leisure activities.

Site Analysis SMALL TOPOGRAPHICAL MOUNTAINS

SITE ANALYSIS: The follow diagrams shows the starting zoning stage for the project with the considerations of limitations in the site. Both the stables and Racing Track areas were situated on the most flat-like area of the site to reduce the cost of cut and fill in the site, while the rest are planned carefully depending on peopelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to the site.

Involvement: I played a major rule in being one of the core Architects to produce over 13 concept masses and carry the chosen option by the client all the way to the final Detail Design submission. My involvements were focused on the articulation of all the designed massings, designing the master plan, presentations, and detailed sheets for the Detailed Design package.

Through the different submissions of Abha Regional Airport, I was the leading architect to produce all different types of diagrams for all the different concepts proposed by me or different colleagues.

MASSING SCRIPT: Most of the concepts that were designed were mainly focused on rigid grids of 9mx9m to reduce the span of the roof shell and reduce the cost of construction as requested by the client (General Authority of Civil Aviation). This is a simple demonstrations for one of the final 3 concepts that follow those grids closely.

Through the Detail Design Stage, I was responsible for most of the Architectural sheet submissions through out all of the different submissions. Sheets Including: - Annotation Plans (1/200 & 1/500) - Dimension Plans (1/200 & 1/500) - Elevators Details (3 Sheets) - Stairs Details (Public & Egress) (3 Sheets) - Travelators Details (3 Sheets) - Escalators Details (3 Sheets) - Room Schedule (Naming every single room through out the entire airport and make sure the numbering system is correctly arranged). I have also been the main person to integrate the Revit Structural model into the Revit Architectural model every week as both were seperated.

Company: EDGEArch Area: 25,000 sqm for the site. 8,000 for terminal building Duration: 6 months Number of Designers: 6-7 Architect Description: Abha Airport is a proposal for the new developed Airport in the Abha region.

Involvement: I played a leading rule in digitally modeling the sketches to real geometry through Rhino and Grasshopper and import it into Revit to produce all of the Architectural drawings. Concept A was suppose to reflect the rough rocky terrains of Al-Baha Region and to work as a water collector through the roof that spills into the courtyard.

MASSING SCRIPT: Through the massing modeling, there was an integration between Rhino, Grasshopper and Revit in creating this proposal. The site model was done in Revit to be exported to 3D studio max for renderings, while the airport massing was done completely in Rhino and Grasshopper. To create flexibilities in the design process, everything was parametrically designed in Grasshopper to test different iterations of the massing rapidly. The above script and diagram were made to produce the entire form of the airport through the major points explained in the diagram.

Slabs

Concept B: The concept started with the idea of producing an easy constructable shell that span massive distances without any columns that allow for flexabile future expansion changes of the airport. The roof is suppose to be a water collector since the airport is over 70km in distance from any fresh water source. The Double Curvature roof shell concaves in two different directions. The structure concaves inward at the top parts to lead the rain water towards the points of water collection at the edges, while the edges concaves upward to celebrate the facades.

Elevations: Through the design process for both proposals, we had payed careful attention towards the land/air side elevations of the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facade designs. We tried to reach for a monolithically massing that can be an iconic figure representing the city of Al-Baha, while the back side had to be carefully designed to allow for the planes bridges to link with the building without obstructing the skin.

Concept A

Concept B

SITE DESIGN: I was the initial architect to start the design of the site and the separations between the different parking areas all the way to the end of the concept design stage. There were different categories of parking lots that include: Short Term Parking, Long Term Parking, Staff Parking, Taxi Parking, Security Parking, VIP Parking ....etc. The numbers of parking areas had to be carefully counted to respond to the number of users.

Modular Architectural Planning Diagrams

Future Expansion Diagram

The above dimention plan demonstrate the careful attention we paid to each side of the facades to make sure all of the lengths work within a modular range of each other.

The early stages of the design carefully planned the future expansion of each proposal Structurally and Architecturally through different studies as shown above.

SAUDI CONSULATE Complex IN KARACHI Company: EdgeArch Area: 22,000 sqm Duration: 3 Years Number of Designers: 5 Architects Recognitions: Winner of the original competition by Ministry of Exterior First Saudi Building to ever win the WAF 2018 Civic Award Category

Involvement: I was the lead parametric designer to work on the facades design and produce the geometry through Rhino and Grasshopper, to be implemented into Revit. I was involved in the project since the competition design stage, all the way to the Detailed Design Stage.

Consulate Facade Script

Housing Facade Script

MASSING SCRIPT: Through the entire phase of the project, I was involved in the process of 3D modeling the entire facades while working closely with a Senior Architect to put everything together. The Housing and Consulate Facades have been developed carefully to respond to the sun exposure while studying carefully how the views in-out will be treated carefully through the skin. The theme of the facades is inspired by the simple hexagones that are generally used in most Islamic patterns to give a modern Islamic classical skin.

Assembly Diagrams At the early stages of the competition, we had countless number of unique panels, but the desire to reduce the cost of the construction has lead me to think of smarter ways to simplify the number of panels. The end result was to choose Five unique main panels not including all of the corner panels that were generated as an outcome from the main family (A Family)

Through the early stages of the master plan for Al-Taif Children Hospital, I was the architect responsiable in direct contact with the Project Architect to design the entire masterplan. The entire master plan was designed in 3D Revit in relation to the correct topography to run the estimation costs of cut and fill in the site.

As a part of a large architectural team, I got to work closely on the Inpatient floors as well as the basement floor from the signle line stage all the way to the detailed design stage.

ATRIUM VIEW

ATRIUM DESIGN: The following design was the outcome of a complex script produced by a Grasshopper script that imitates the flow lines of the rivers and how they intersect to create something playful for the kids on the floor that can be colored to liven the design of the Atrium.

ADVANCE MANUFACTURING INSTITUTE Company: EdgeArch Area: 13,500 sqm Duration: 1.5 Years Number of Designers: 2-3 Architects Recognitions: Nominated for World Architecture Festival Award in 2017 and German Design Award 2019

Involvement: I was the initial Lead Architect to work on the project. I was responsible for multiple site visits to the university to make a list for all the machines that will need to be transformed from the old building to the new one. I was also responsible for reviewing and revising the RFP given by the client to produce a realistic Space Program fitting the land given.

AL-BARRAK APARTMENT BUILDING Company: Al-Kayan Engineering Area: 840 sqm Duration: 6 months Number of Designers: 2 Architects Description: Al-Barrak Apartment building is a residential rental apartment building in Jeddah.

Involvement: I was involved in managing the design with the Architect responsible for the design of the plans, setting up the deadlines with the client, designing the facade, and producing the renderings.

FACADE DESIGN: The facade design was more of collage than anything else. We were instructed by the client to only play with the materials, and opening sizes of the windows to get the resulted design. The followiging design came as an outcome of intersecting square shapes with different materials to break the regular box shape of the front facade.

Refugee Skyscraper Company: EDGEArch Competition: eVolo 2015 Duration: 4 months Number of Designers: 2 Architect Description: eVolo Refugee Skyscraper is a proposal for eVolo 2015 competition as a solution for Refugee Camps Publication: Evolo Skyscraper Magazine 3 as one of the top 100

Involvement: This was a collaboration between my first boss Hani Shata and my self in creating a skyscraper solution for refugees. I was the lead and only digital designer to come up with the massing and do all of the scripting needed. The skyscraper is proposing a new solution for the refugee camps for it to be stacked vertically instead of horizontally. The entire massing and unit geometries were generated through Grasshopper using Kangaroo.

Description: The tent was a pivoting point for mankind's visions towards Architecture, as it allowed us to move freely and explore the different zones of our planet, to chase food and water, or to conquer new lands. The tent was one of earliest free Architectural spaces that formed our culture in a free unbounded context. In Al-Khidir, we explored the idea of the tent and shapes of the sand dunes through the articulation of the overall form of the pavilion.

The major entry to the pavilion is through the fabric weaved part of the tent that will transition you smoothly into the advanced technological part.

The tent is a representation of the journey of technological development through time applied to a tent. Half of the tent is covered with old handwoven fabric, while the other half is stripped away from the fabric to show the skeleton future part of the tent. Structural Skeletons

Description: The finished product stands not just as a lamp but as a sculpture filling the room with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique presences and unique shadows. Using scripting methods on the openings of the lamp generate a harmonic transition between the openings that results in every opening being different from the rest of the neighboring once.

ROOK

Original Form Designed by Ed Andrews

Collaborator: Ed Andrews Country: USA Duration: 12 Months Number of Designers: 2 Involvement: Creating digital tools to be used by an Artist Recognitions: Finalist 12 on the 6th Zahner Biennial Competition

Description: Rook was a collaboration between an artist, Ed Andrews and my self. Rook is the outcome of computational form that was manipulated parametrically through Grasshopper. I was responsible for creating two different parametric tools, the first for slicing and second for patterning.

Script #1

Script #2

The original form was designed by Ed Andrews using Rhino and plugged into Grasshopper to be cut and patterned. The first script takes any form given to it, slices it horizontally, radially, flatten it, and label it. The first script takes into consideration the thickness of the steel as that will thickness will indicate the width of the connecting joints. The second script takes all the different flattened pieces, set an offset on each piece and apply a cutting and engraving pattern onto it. The script allow different patterns to be used depending on the desire of the artist.

PHOTOGRAPHS: The following photographs are taken by Ed Andrews as I did not play a part in the fabrication and assembly process.

Organized Chaos is always found in nature all around us but often times we struggle to understand or define it due to our sciences limitations, but once we understand it, analyze it, and apply those principles to design, we start to create a new category of design. A style where geometry break-free from all of the restraining boundaries it ever lived within.

294.0

When geometry follows natural principles in the design process, it starts to have a personality and a behavior on its own. It evolves into something much more mature than we are used to. These are the principles experimented with to design Chaohexa.

CHAOHEXA 1 . 0 Project: Chaohexa 1.0 Weight: 37-40kg Dimensions: 2.2m x 1.5m Design Date: 2018 Recognitions: Shortlisted for Ithra Art Prize 2019. Finalist 5.

Description: CHAOHEXA 1.0 is the second edition of these wall installation series. This piece explores closely the deformations of simple grid with repulsion and compression forces.

OLD CITIES are often found in cities like Old Jeddah. Where the old city does not follow a specific grid and might seems random at start but actually follows an order that is invisible to the eye that is the result of an evolution happening over a long period of time. The feeling of chaotic old cities is the feeling Chaohexa 1.0 trying to achieve.

Chaohexa 1.0 will have 4,022 unique pieces of mdf glued by hand. There are 26 points in total that controls the deformations of the grid. 15 Repulsion Points and 11 Compression Points. Each point is controlled separately to maximize the customization of deformations.

AA SUMMERDLAB 2014 Visiting Shool: AA Summer DLAB 2014 Location: London, UK & Hooke Park Duration: 3 weeks Number of Designers: 15 Softwares Learnt: Processing, Rhino, Grasshopper, and SoftImage.

Description: AA Summer DLAB 2014 was focused on generative design and casting concrete in fabric. We were split in teams of 4 in London to run experiments with casting plaster in Fabric and moved on to Hooke Park for a week to build a 1 to 1 scale pavilion with casting concrete in fabric.

Description: The following script of DLA was given to us by the faculty team of Summerdlab. We were requested to modify the script according to our teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal for the experimental stage in London using Processing, Grasshopper, Rhino, Maya and Softimage

Vec3D v = new Vec3D(); v.x = random(14, 14); v.y = random(-6, 6); //v.z = random(-2, 2); Number of Seeds = 1; Number of Agents Per Frame = 4; Connection Distance Max = .3; if (frameCount%2 == 0) Max Speed = 0.02; Perlin Scale = 2.5; Perlin Force = 0.9;

Vec3D v = new Vec3D(); v.x = random(14, 14); v.y = random(-2, 2); v.z = random(-2, 2);

Number of Seeds = 1; Number of Agents Per Frame = 1; Connection Distance Max = .3; if (frameCount%2 == 0)

Number of Seeds = 1; Number of Agents Per Frame = 1; Connection Distance Max = .8; if (frameCount%2 == 0)

Number of Seeds = 1; Number of Agents Per Frame = 1; Connection Distance Max = .8; if (frameCount%10 == 0)

Max Speed = 0.1;

Perlin Scale = 2.5; Perlin Force = 0.9;

FORM STUDIES: During our stay in London for the first two weeks, we ran countless studies to see how the script in processing can be manipulated differently depending on the surfaces its projected on, while changing the parameters of the number of points, their speed, and how soon they connect to create a branch.

TEXTILES Description: The following textiles were an experimentation for a new style for an entire collection of furniture pieces for a private client. The images here were suppose to be for the contemporary styled collection that started with simple Islamic hexagon geometry and developed into something much more complex parametrically. The project has been on hold since 2015.

JEDDAH RING Company: Shakl3d Duration: 2-3 months Description: I was hired to recruit an entire team and lead them in designing different pieces of jewelry to be 3D printed and hit the market in 2017. The project has been on hold since the end of 2017.
