from Portfolio - 2021
A collection of professional and academic urban planning projects that were designed between 2014 and 2021 during undergrad school, postgrad school internships, freelance contracts, full-time and part-time jobs.

WATERFRONT OF CONTEMPORARY ART
This proposal offers an opportunity for the city to exploit its position on the waterfront, take advantage of the new interest and investment into art and culture as initiated by the introduction of the LAC (Lugano Arts Centre) and continue in this direction to establish the new identity of Lugano as a hub of art and culture in Europe.
Responsibilities:
- Architectural Design Development - Concept & Schematic Report Preperation - Urban Planning Development - Working Drawings (Plans, Sections, etc) - Presentation Drawings (Photoshop) - Site Analysis, Research and Diagramming
02
DUKAN MASTERPLAN
The Dukan master plan was a proposal for the development of the surrounding urban context of the Dukan Lake in Iraq. Multiple villages / areas were planned to be developed around the lake in order to make the lake one of the new marvels of the contemporary world. From hospitals and schools, to residential and touristic attractions, each area was planned to be a fully functional urban city with all of the needs and requirements of a modern day capital of the world.
Responsibilities:
- Architectural Design Development - Concept & Schematic Report Preperation - Urban Planning Development - Working Drawings (Plans, Sections, etc) - Presentation Drawings (Photoshop) - Site Analysis, Research and Diagramming

[RE]TROPOLITAN CITY OF ALEPPO
The project tackled the city’s issues on three different scales where new solutions were proposed on the city scale, the urban scale and the architectural scale. While the city scale studied the cities general layout and disadvantages and helped to improve them, the urban scale aimed to propose more specific solutions and help to provide the city with a new code of urban design for the future. The architectural scale tackled general issues of architecture and design in order to help bring forth sustainable and smart solutions to the city’s future construction projects.
Responsibilities:
- Architectural Design Development - Concept & Schematic Report Preperation - Urban Planning Development - Working Drawings (Plans, Sections, etc) - Presentation Drawings (Photoshop) - Site Analysis, Research and Diagramming

REGENERATION OF A DIARY FARM
Cascina Fornace is a historic farm that is located on the outskirts of Milano. The project revolved around the regeneration of the historical dairy farm in order to help the city’s economic and environmental initiatives and efficiency. The project aimed to maintain the old farm’s rich history by proposing smart and sustainable solutions that were designed to regenerate the farm’s production system meanwhile maintaining connectivity and homogeneity with its urban context.
Responsibilities:
- Architectural Design Development - Concept & Schematic Report Preperation - Urban Planning Development - Working Drawings (Plans, Sections, etc) - Presentation Drawings (Photoshop) - Site Analysis, Research and Diagramming

SPATIAL AND TERRITORIAL ANALYSIS LANDSCAPE SENSORY PERCEPTION HISTORICAL, DIACHRONICAL AND SYNCHRONICAL ANALYSIS
THE FIRST STEP THAT WAS TAKEN DURING THE INITIAL STAGES OF THIS PROJECT WAS THE REGIONAL ANALYSIS. IN ORDER TO HAVE THE BEST UNDERSTANDING POSSIBLE FOR THE CASCINA, WE STARTED THE ANALYSIS AT A TERRITORIAL SCALE IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE CASCINA’S LOCATION WITHIN THE REGION AND IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A CIRCULATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM BETWEEN OUR CASCINA AND ALL THE OTHER MAJOR CITIES AND CASCINA’S AROUND IT. AFTER WE ANALYIZED THE CASCINA’S REGIONAL SCALE WE DELVED FURTHER INTO RESEARCHING THE CASCINA ON A SMALLER SCALE. WE STUDIED NUMEROUS ASPECTS OF THE CACSINA. TWO OF THE MAIN ASPECTS THAT HELPED US DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT WERE THE LANDSCAPE AND SENSORY ANALYSIS. A THOROUGH ANALYSIS ON THE LANDSCAPE TYPOLOGY AS WELL AS THE SENSORY PERCEPTION OF THE USERS AT EACH POINT OF THE CASCINA.
DESIGN ALTERNATIVES
AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, A SERIES OF STUDIES WERE EXECUTED ON THE CASCINA IN ORDER TO FIND THE MOST IDEAL PLACEMENT OF EACH OF THE SPACES IN ACCORDANCE TO THEIR FUNCTIONS AND THEIR HISTORICAL VALUE.
SEVERAL DESIGN ALTERNATIVES WERE DEVELOPED BEFORE REACHING THE FINAL RESULT WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAMS PROVIDED.
THE DIAGRAMS ALSO EXPLAIN THE DISTRIBUTIVE SOLUTION THAT WAS DEVELOPED FOR THE CASCINA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINAL DESIGN ALTERNATIVE THAT IS PROPOSED. DIAGRAMS
