THE 20TH CENTURY MUSEUM (M20) CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM Academic work | 2015 | Brend Bess
The Museum of the 20th century or the M20 is located neighboring Mies’s neue nationale galerie. The site location was the key player as the presence of the side beside one of the 20th century masterpieces of architecture, the new national gallery by Mies van der rohe. The main focus of the design was to contrast the gallery’s modernist approach the rough concrete material used at the façades was to create a large and powerful block and a background contrasting mies’s masterpiece and giving power to both buildings also linking them.And unlike the building’s exterior.
The interior is more smooth and opened through using thin walls to define spaces and not closing rooms. The main focus was to contrast the Neue Nationalgalerie’s modernist approach of it’s steel structure and glass with the rough concrete material used at the façades of the M20, to create a large and powerful backdrop contrasting mies’s masterpiece and giving the highlight to both buildings also linking them on the underground level. Also the building of the museum itself is cut into two halves seprating the exhibition area and the adminstrative area.

Urban Speciation AL-MAHATA AL-QADEMA NEIGHBOURHOOD Academic work | 2017 | Holger Gladys
Shifting the public scope of interest of the freight railway from being the key route of transporting goods to and from the Dekhela port, to being a valuable plot of half vacant land following the sheer decline in trading rates after 2011. The availability of land and the proximity to low services areas of Alexandria such as Kafr Ashry, Qabbary and Tabyet Saleh, have not gathered enough market momentum that seduce actors of the real state sector to speculate around the site due to its condition as being part of the national railway network and its key role for transporting goods,.The low speculation status accompanied by the current low operation at its premises has rendered the empty areas within the vicinity of the station .The approach that we wanted to follow through out the proposal was to work within the contexts and factors of the situation not with them. The aim was to maintain an extent of intensified flexibility in regard to urban block definitions and network hierarchy that allows an interchangeable appropriation of the block from housing to industrial scale and vice versa. Thus the urban block, with its constituents of house/structure, void/public space, as the main battlefield that is always in tension
waiting to be reclaimed by what ever programme is redeeming at the time. This framework of scaled and rescaled urban block resulted in a new architectural language that is not repetitive and is organized through out the site to maintain a flexible projection of program when a change is needed and is in contrast/harmony with the already existing structures that are to be reprogrammed. the intervention consists of a definite design of various building blocks that instigates various areas, building masses and fabrics that sustain social diversity and affordability to different social groups. At the same time the assumed appropriation of urban/industrial block by the rail way is achieved by a seamless acquisitions of the structures and their accompanying voids which double as urban voids of activities and their scale and specifications could be treated as a incubator of businesses. All of the above factors work in relation to one another and in response to one another at the same time, that the neighbourhood life we target is not a monotonous continuous cycle of repeated routines and activities but rather a contingent metamorphosis of shaping and reshaping the programming of its essence.

MULTI-LEVELED CONNECTIONS URBAN REGENRATION Academic work | 2016 | Rita Pinto De Freitas
This project is about scrutinizing the capability of urban redesign of the area of the park “la ciutadella” in the city of barcelona, and the surrounding spaces, with the idea of working on the existing realities, rather than inventing a new reality to the area. The project group were a team of four, with four different proposals focusing on different aspects of the design. Reconnecting the main spaces and elements of the area while revealing the historical value of the site, and to contrast that with an exploration of a futuristic public spaces through vertical structures and top level network of pathways helping the main idea of the project which is the enhance the visual connections, from the mountain range to the Mediterranean sea, as well as the urban fabric of the city itself which sits in-between.
The parc de la ciutadella is Barcelona’s most central park. The park includes a zoo that would be removed, a lake, a large fountain and several museums. The Catalan Parliament is seated in a building at the center of the park. The thirty hectare large park forms a green oasis close to the always crowded historic center of Barcelona. The park is laid out nicely with wide promenades. After analyzing the city connections and highlighted those who have, or may have, a direct effect on the area of ciutadella. A connection linking the mountains with the sea front through an axis. This axis happens to be passeig de sant joan. A boulevard cutting through parc de la ciutadella and continues up to the mountains, through the arc de triomf and eixample. The aim is to reach the seafront with this axis, as well.

MASPERO CONTEMPORARY ART SPACE URBAN EXPERIMENT Academic work | 2015 | Vlatka Šeremet
The project is located in Maspero triangle one of Cairo’s most popular neighborhoods famous for it’s conflicting situation for the presence of an informal neighborhood and the Nile viewing gigantic tower buildings. And the struggle this area have been through for decades over the ownership of the land is a never ending struggle. On the other hand the 6th of October bridge connecting el-zamalek district to Cairo’s downtown is huge structure that is exiling
the area of Maspero triangle from Cairo’s downtown. Intervening into Maspero’s site was only by opening the free land to the people and their temporary buildings giving them manipulation over the on-ground level which is letting the art space co-exist with the situation and frame what will happen next by using the site as an experimental urban space for the current temporary conflicting situation , as it would always reflect the manipulation of the land users over time..

ON MEMORY AND ARCHITECTURE, “EGYPT’S NEW CAPITAL CITY” WATCH TOWERS AND CONCRETE WALLS. Academic work | 2016 | Hussam Salama
“The new capital city” of Egypt is a case study of expansion that bring in a new reality to the country, a method that is used by the state over the past years in order to manipulate and dominate over the public vision of the future. Beyond investors and skyscrapers which are taking over the futuristic vision of the state and the eye catching images that are produced by the architects of the very generic new capital, Egypt is facing a huge wipe out of it’s collective and commu-
Architecture is a composed of images, also memories it is constructed on a collection of images and the relationships between them. This framework is what shapes our perception and recognition of time and space. Memory and architecture relate to each others symbolically in that they use our perception of images to recall particulars of place or exact time, the connection of that one place or time to another one and the way that these connections might explain time in a tangible way. For memories, architecture is the stage which experience can be recalled; in architecture, memory reveals the essence of the form which allows the human to understand the space and to grasp it mentally. This project mainly deal with the main green spine in the proposed masterplan of the new capital city, Intervening in the public space and proposing a different vision juxtapositioning the original project. by using elements from the current reality giving a room to our collective and communal memory.
nal memory and architectural identity that relate directly to each other symbolically as they both use our perception of images to recall a place or exact time, this connection is being wept by the Egyptian state by creating a new futuristic vision of how the city should be and ignoring or removing our communal perception. to memories and spaces recalling these memories as for memories, architecture is the stage which experience can be recalled.

DAS ENDE DES 20 JAHRHUNDERTS EXHIBITION EXHIBITION SPACE Academic work | 2015 | Brend Bess
The design of the exhibition space to host such an installation, was meant to be as minimal as possible to give a space for the art piece to speak for itself and to add to the idea of the new era after the darkness of the 20th century, a setting was designed to this field having two ramps on ascend to more light while the other one descending to the corpses representation finds fewer light.
“The end of the 20th century” is a monumental installation by the German artist Joseph beuys, it represents bones or corpses of the people who died at the world war II, and in the random alignment of the rocks, it produce the sensation to the viewer that “the state of the world is beyond control”. However, the materials of clay symbolize potential growth and “suggest the possibility of new life emerging at the end of a dark century”.

are soon to be long lost, until the disease takes over eventually, leaving her giving in to her clueless version of herself. Using metaphors embodied in physical elements, the space becomes a reflection of the battle that takes place in Alice’s mind, until it all fades away. The light cones represent her memories, the capsules represent Alice’s attempt to store them, the structure represents her life, the glitches represent her inability to remember and her other-self represents the disease.
The narrative of the play is based on “Still Alice”, a novel by Lisa Genova, about a linguistics professor diagnosed with early on-set Alzheimer’s disease shortly after her 50th birthday. The author goes through Alice’s journey from the moment she realizes she is sick until her mind completely collapses. The spatial experiment, which transforms the stages of experiencing Alzheimer’s disease into a dynamic, interactive and representational space. The stage design focuses on illustrating Alice’s struggle to hold on to her memories that

opportunity to experiment with the inclusion of a purposeful extension. A contemporary structure added to the rooted concrete frame, resulting in a new conglomeration of plates that does not obscure the view and allow for maximum flexibility of plan. The plates are carried by wooden columns, an abundant material in the province, to encompass the intervention with the existing. Shifting the tectonics of the whole entity into a contrasting composition of color, texture, position and re-purposing. The feasibility of the approach is to make the intervention minimal, yet allowing for maximum interpretation of the composition with adding of elements, or redefining the resulting usage of the space. With the children as the natural protagonists, and through the use of climbable elements and a slide as part of the circulation, the space invites the curiosity of the students, while serving its main purposes.
The LiangMeng Primary school faces a beautiful valley located in the rural area of Puan City, China. It is connected by a 4 hours drive to the provincial capital Guyiang. The whole region is home to many Chinese ethnic groups, but the one that inhabits this underdeveloped rural area is known as the BUYI minority. Their economy is mainly based on agriculture and mining and it has been slightly improved by the construction of logistic infrastructures after 1949. Even if their daily life is partially modernized, their culture is still influenced by ancient traditions and activities. The assignment was to design a canteen and a school library that serve the LiangMeng school complex on an area of 100m2. The project site has an existing structure that became of no use, and the new building is to be built on a flat plateau that has an overview on a spectacular valley rich of rice fields and lush vegetation.With the plot occupied by an existing structure, the situation posed an interesting
