I, Mohamad Khansa, a Sustainable Architecture graduate, at Politecnico Di Torino, Italy.
As a creator, my aim has always been to produce innovative and meaningful designs, not just to meet the eye but to touch the heart and soul. I have always believed that the experience of any space is only complete when it’s percieved through all human senses.
This portfolio contains my most significant architectural projects produced in the last four years (between October 2017 and February 2022). Every project presented in this portfolio is merely a preview.

BE
The aim of this project was to find a balance between human and nature. We tried to recreate long-lost links with environment, by creating two green corridors. The first green corridor goes through Corso Vigevano and connects Parco Dora with the Hill. The second one is smaller, it lies across the abandoned railways and connects Parco Dora with the river and then it goes futher to Porto Palazzo market.
The project BE IN AURORA supports the natural diversity of the area (different cultures, different architectural styles, mixed uses) and keeps the significant buildings and functions of its neighbourhood. “The new platform” of the building is meant to unite this variety and help to create strong and creative community.
The idea of this project was to create the identity of this area and the only way to find it is to create the connection between different users of the place.

The project PLANINSESTO stems from the desire to create a meeting point for the community of Cenisia.It is difficult to identify a neighborhood identity. It can be therefore be said that the neighborhood is formed only by activities that are useful for daily life, but that do not give people a sense of belonging.
The project aims to create a relationship between the citizens, translating the fence that surrounds the area into surfaces that connect the neighborhood to the school itself and that accomodate community functions that can change over time.
The concept of “planinsesto” is expressed precisely on such surfaces, according to the people who use them at different times. The analysis and integration of climatic and enviromental elements of the area under consideration have allowed to give more specificity to the project, making it consistent and integrated with the basic concept.
