A great deal of attention was paid to the structure of the building, ventilation , lighting and sanitary services.

The sections above demonstare the structural details studied and implemented in the building.

The sections also illustrated the skylight imbedded in the mass that plays a big

role in lighting this huge space naturally.

The ship penetration of waves and its rigid and edgy shape were a great inspiration to the elevations and mass design as it clearly shows on the left.

Interiors were accomplished with Rhino 5, rendered using Lumion and went through minor phostoshop post-producion.

They illustrate the connection between spaces, the

Project brief

16

The project was set in a site with an abandoned and contaminated lake with the objective of trying to rehabilitate the site into a technology exhibition and connecting the lake with the building and outdoor activities. Thus, turning it into a positive element in the site

17

The plans consisted of a combination of open exhibition spaces - both permenant and temporaryand more private areas for adminstration and other private facilities.

While taking into consideration connecting the building with some exterior exhibitions and taking full advantage of the lake and its view, This exploitation of the lake was targeted to chnage the negative memory the users have of the lake and substitute it with a more positive impact.

Designing the elevations was highly infl uenced by the advancement in technology and its trends that recently consist of edgy shapes and extensive use of RGB lights, yet implementing them in a more subtle way as this facility is intended to be family friendly and suitable for all ages and genders.

The following project was highly focused on sustainability, it was allocated in a brown fi eld, previously known as Al Rwesat shopping center, which suffered great damage due to a fire accident and all that remained of it were its cores, In accordance, the target was to rehabili-

tate the site into a facility of benef t, while using the existing cores and other sustainable techniques to generate a facility functional both socially and environmentally.

The sustainable techniques used were not only environmental, but they also focused on the social rehabilitation part, which explains the available graf itti wall

in the main elevation, that was attempted to decrease vandalism by providing a place for people to express themselves and their community in a legal way.

The main challenge of the project was the lake that was penetrating the site splitting it into two halves, it was a priority to bridge this challenge and create a coherent and accessible site and turning this lake into an advantage more than a disadvantage.

The design also demanded the selection of proper residential choices and connecting them with other day to day facilities in the site both fuctionally and visually.
