ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIO - NAJI R. SAFI

Page 1


This portfolio projects 10 years of a young architect embarking on the journey of Architecture , design and art. From being a student to a professional , architecture has always been a passion , nothing more or less to be specific. The content reflect my personal strategies and thinking process related the multidisciplinary field of architecture and design . In a modern world of architecture , design disciplines are becoming subject of research that is dominated with the realm of algorithms and computational systems , my approach to that matter bridges the freehand , the art sense , the science and the computer into one nexus. Hence my approach to formalism , computation and the machine is well embodied in all the figures and panels present in this portfolio. N.safi

3.0 SPECIMEN



FORM of Intersection.

Experimentation is a relatively essential methodology in the design process especially when design meets computation and descriptive geometry. [FMI] is a building design expressing an introverted FORM resulting from a Tesseract gone into deconstructivisim experimental Subtraction method.


Fluid Truss. Parametrically conceived Surface tweens generate algorithms of structural analysis and behavior and Form spacial truss systems from within.


FORM Finding and mathematical parametricism meet in Design For computation . The Complex are integers of X degrees in equation. Form of NEXUS T1 flows through a vertical variable extrusion of one single curve [3 point crv] and following a defined sequence of algorithmic transformation along the height.

Nexus Tower.

A form required few to morph , minor input to deploy . Vertical variables erect from a single curve derived from coordinates and Curves.



Breathing surfaces


Design Synthesis.

Organic morphology meets high tech architecture . An advanced design thinking experimentation investigating virtual architecture and the boundaries of geometrical manipulation of NURBS AND MESHES.


JIGSAW.

A Pavilion Design Inspired from a constructivist philosophy. The methodology used for this project blends the phenomenology of the form and the scripted deployed elements that flow along surfaces. A project that has been scripted through Coding via JAVa language and tailored inside MAX AND RHINO.



Body & Form. From experimentation generated from an interaction of 2 different bodies at a given frozen estate. One manifold surface melts the 2 shapes together to generate the outcome. That outcome downgraded to its bare geometry tracing its projection created the final Shape .


4.0 Design & ID Projects


NORR ARCHITECTS Concept Design for Al Seef Lusail residentials Doha - Qatar




THE GATEWAY competition Abu dhabi – al maqtaa bridge






The Bakery Tripoli Concept design of a warm cozy bakery & coffee shop . The project’s minimal footprint embodies exquisite detail in industrial design as well as high tech architectural details embedded within the fixtures of the project that are part of NEXUS collection by NXS architects


Cigar Palace Concept design of a breathing black box container enclosing a luxurious cigar lounge that breathes along its skin through folding façade louvers.

“The Project Embodies a contemporary high tech approach in the design with a completely independent interior treatment to welcome visitors and clients that share divers perceptions of space.”

5.0 Selected Projects


FIRE STATION DESIGN

Study of the high tech architecture and metallic structural behavior






An African Compound.

3 type Villas modular master plan.

AZMI Street urban analysis . Investigated AZMI square and landscape proposal



Swimming Complex- BEV Parametric design of a shutter structural system covering a swimming complex. The complex geometries of the project reflect on the multiple swimming styles one does find while learning about the art of swimming .Pattern , rhythm, and fluid morphology can be read along the different elements building the project.
