THE PROJECT IS LOCATED IN RASHIDIYA , DUBAI , UAE. AL RASHIDIYA IS A RESIDENTIAL SUBURB IN DUBAI. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES WHERE EMIRATIS STARTED LIVING AROUND THE 1970S , BEFORE DUBAI HAD STARTED TO GROW. TODAY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE HUBS DUE TO THE NEARBY METRO STATION ACTIVITY. GRADUALLY , THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN EXPAT POPULATION AND A DECREASE OF EMIRATE FAMILIES. THE PROJECT AIMS TO ENHANCE THE LIVABILITY OF THAT AREA. WHILE FOCUSING ON STRATEGIES WHICH CATER TO BOTH THE EXPATS AND LOCALS.

THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE SAINT GOBAIN COMPETITION WERE REQUIRED TO DESIGN AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH WOULD BE INNOVATIVE , SUSTAINABLE AND ALIGNED WITH THE MULTI COMFORT CFRITERIA. THE PROJECT ALSO REQUIRED THE RENNOVATION OF THREE EXISTING BUILDINGS CONNECTED WITH NEW MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL , PUBLIC SPACES AND SERVICES. AFFORDABLE RESIDENCES WERE REQUIRED TO BE BUILT ON PLOT A , WHILE PLOT B IS FOR RENOVATION. AN OPEN SPACE DESIGN WAS TO BE PROPOSED FOR PLOT C WHICH WOULD CONNECT BOTH PLOT A & B.

THE PROJECT BRIEF FOCUSED ON DESIGNING A UNIVERSITY WHICH FOLLOWED THE ARCHITECTURAL VOCABULARY OF THE ASSIGNED ARCHITECT.- TADAO ANDO , A WORLD FAMOUS SELF-TAUGHT JAPANESE ARCHITECT . THE SCHOOL OF DESIGN FOCUSES ON INSTILLING CALMNESS AND A PEACE OF MIND TO THE STUDENT. IT IS A CREATIVE , INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHICH REDEFINES THE CONCEPT OF A UNIVERSITY. VARIOUS WATER BODIES ARE EFFECTIVELY MERGED WITH BUILT SPACES TO CREATE A THRIVING STUDENT HUB AREA.

SITE N

Character of the neighbourhood Existing paths include 2 lane roads which are well connected to universities and a petrol station.

Finding a person walking outside is rare , beacuse of the weather and the desert climate , so the surrounding areas are empty , there are no bike passageways or major pedestrain space . 8.5 km located from dubai silicon oasis.

THE BUILDING FOCUSES ON THE INTEGRATION OF BUILT SPACE AND OUTDOOR SPACES. THIS IS DONE TO BRING MAN CLOSER TO NATURE. AND PROMOTE INTERACTION.

WHEN LIGHT PASSES THROUGH OPENINGS , IT CREATES BOTH LIGHT AND SHADOW EFFECT , THIS CAN ALSO BE COMPARED TO POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACES.

UPON FURTHER ABSTRACTION POSTIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACES CAN ALSO BE ABSTRACTED IN DESIGN .
