PROFILE
My interest in architecture lie in academia, theory, sustainable built environment and leveraging advanced computer technology in efficient design solutions. I am a big fun of nature. Over the years of my study of architecture, I have come to realize the great burden that man puts on nature –his environment in every construction he undertakes. Architecture as a profession has a major role to play if we are to salvage our fast-depleting earth. After all we are creators of what it is of our environment.

5th Year Studio Project Each year close to 16% of graduates from Moroccan Universities are hurled into the unemployed classes of the population. In The face of this growing menace,many graduates tend to just make do with whichever job they can lay their hands on . It is our fervent believe that these graduates if well equipped via entrepreneurial training during and after their school-days can help solve not only this problem but societal problems as a whole. With The already cast array of theoretical skills they are equipped with ,an added beefing up in entrepreneurial spirit will go a long way to change their mindset and their approach to society and the world as a whole. The likes of the Silicon Valley,Stanford University Entrepreneurship centres and many others around the world give credence to the positivity and the change effect associated with such a king of establishment. In view of this,our proposal for an entrepreneurial training centre in the heart of the educational quarter of Rabat will not only bring entrepreneurial training to the door step of students but will likewise serve the greater Rabat Sale Region. Proposals For the centre will include a multi-purpose amphitheatre, a block of hostels ,offices for start-ups,laboratories and working spaces. Courses Will be organized year round ,the centre will equally be opened for start-up teams to work on their various projects. As a centre of excellence sustainable design principles like use of runoff,photovoltaic,natural ventilation and green roofs were employed.
Atrium serving as heating corridor for studios
Proposed amphitheatre for students
A centralised system of control to give feedback on amount of energy used,generated and conserved
A biogas system installed to demonstrate to architects its mode of functioning.

5th Year Studio Project

The National School of Architecture was built in the early 2000’s around a time when the needed for incorporating sustainable design principles in architecture was not pressing. Existing structures do not therefore fully comply with sustainability best practices. Our proposal for this project was to make projections of features which could be added or modified in other to improve upon the sustainable nature of an architecture school . Aside the environmental and cost benefits,one other crucial good is the fact that student architects will observe and use at first hand features they learn in a theoretical manner in classes. Concentrating mainly on the semi circular studios block,our proposal seeks to generate electricity form solar panels and correct the greenhouse effect as a result of the plexiglass covered inner atrium. We introduced suspended plantings in the atrium which will serve to oxygenate the hot air thereby cooling inner temperatures. Most of the studios were redesigned using state of the art renewable materials to increase acoustic and thermal comfort. A biogas system was also proposed to make use of paper and human waste on site.

After an urban analysis of the Sidi Bernousi Industrial area of Casablanca, our research brought to the fore some needs of the inhabitants. One major issue was with housing for the low and middle income classes. We were tasked to make proposals of multi-storey housing for the middle and low classes while promoting societal integration of the populace. In due course our proposal for an intermediary housing scheme sought to promote a mixed class residence by incorporating various types of housing. We proposed studios ,apartments, duplexes and suspended villas to cater for wide needs. In so doing we could have a total response to all classes whiles conjointly providing activity through the commercial spaces on the ground floor. In laying out the block plan , the open block system of French architect Christian de Portzamparc was studied and applied in other to maximize land use and promote effective integration of building to site.

4th Year Studio Project Still on the Sidi Bernoussi Industrial area,this project consisted of designing a sports complex to cater for health and social needs. Our Approach was to provide a huge facility which will be accessible by all inhabitants not only for major events but daily routines. The most striking element of this project was the use of laminated timber. This was due to the very wide spaces needed to be covered.

4th Year Landscape Design Studio This project done in collaboration with colleagues,sought to make proposals for a wide expanse of land situated in between two major avenues. One major issue was the narrow but lengthy nature of the land as well as the noise pollution due to the vehicular movement. Inspired by the sinusoidal nature of sound waves our response was to work on the landscape in the form of waves which in certain places quite down to form playing fields and at others rise to provide shelter for commercial spaces. The whole length was divided into 3 main sections to facilitate working on the project.

Internship As part of my duties during a one month internship we were tasked to make proposals for a renovation of an old agricultural extension block. The spaces had to be redesigned and the interior court previously uncovered was covered to allow for shading for visitors seated around waiting their turn

Internship THis was also a renovation work we did during an internship.The Client needed to renovate his old residence while adding a swimming pool and exterior greenery.

“Propc� Most laptop users prefer laying in bed whiles using their computers. One worrying feature is that these users place the computers on the laps or stomachs,the ensuing heating could be harmful to ones health. Propc is a lightweight support system made of recyclable bamboo or wood which could help prevent health related issues.
