INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project description: The brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. Our thought, action, memory, feeling and experience of the world produced by our brain. With regards to the significance of the human brain, the brain functions as an important part of the body system that empower cognitive procedures such as thinking, remembering and understanding etc. it is an important thing to understand how brain works. Also, in the coordination of physical activities so that there is a harmony between the real physiological reactions and the foreseen physiological reactions. And also the brain control our sensory data base such as vision, olfactory, tactile, taste, kinesthetic, and audition. Simply we are nothing more than empty flesh without brains. We can’t consider the brain as a static organ. It changes consistently in accordance with how we utilize it to think, interact, learn, feel and envision. Physical exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management are examples of habits that can detract from the brain’s performance. The best way to improve the performance of the brain and to make it healthier is by knowing how to train your brain and to work with your lifestyle habits. Better brain health means better brain performance. Kite Center for Brain Health is a research institute and a medical center focused exclusively on brain health that combines brain research with clinical interventions. The Center will provide academic training and houses specialists in, among many others, Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury (TBI), healthy brain aging, autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), stroke, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Parkinson disease. It brings together experts in the fields of neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry, and rehabilitation in a hub for training, research, and clinical care. Kite Center for Brain Health is the first of its kind in the UAE and especially in Abu Dhabi. A place where people that are suffering from brain disease or a brain injury, as well as healthy people can go to improve their brain performance and make their brains more efficient and healthier. Abu Dhabi Center for Brain Health aims to bring brain science innovations to upgrade how people think, work and live.

INTRODUCTION 1.2 Reasons for selecting this project: Focusing on raising awareness on mental health in the UAE is very important, and lately more people are getting rid of feeling ashamed and embarrassed to looking for help for mental disorders and getting their lives back on track. Due to the high rate of suicide due to mental issues proved that people needs to understand that suffering from mental issues or any brain disorder is not a shame. Any such denial comes with a heavy price to pay. According to Parkinson’s disease Foundation, Alzheimer’s Association and American Brain Tumor Association an estimated 7 to 10 million people worldwide are living with brain disease. The project will bring research closer to patients, providing the patients with better access to the best possible treatments. Understanding how a healthy brain works is essential to preventing and treating brain diseases, and both are essential to the health. This type of project, the first of its kind in UAE, will give the opportunity for people with low income or who can’t afford the expenses of leaving the country for treatment, by building this project they can get the treatment inside the country. And also it is the first of its kind in the Middle East, which will lead the people in the Middle East come to Abu Dhabi and get their treatments. With this step, it will rise the economy of the UAE and Abu Dhabi will grab the attention of other countries in terms of health caring by providing the latest treatment methods for brain diseases.

INTRODUCTION 1.3 Problem statements: Person’s ability to function well in daily life and work is the touchstone of brain health. This includes interacting with others, making decisions, taking care of issues and enjoying and emotional balance. These functions request the ability to remember, understand and learn; to process information, events and people; to think deliberately and to be inventive in taking care of problems as they emerge. The next 15 years Alzheimer’s disease could increase by more than 600% if we didn’t achieve the preventative measures. Brain disorders now effects only about 4,300 residents in the UAE but there’re studies shows that by 2030 will increase and will reach nearly 30,000 patients. There’s a strong relationship between Alzheimer’s and metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. Diabetes as of now influences around 20 percent of the UAE’s population in the range of 20 and 79 years old. The awareness of brain disease and its effects is limited. A huge number of family members are suffering from memory loss and other dangerous brain diseases. According to rough 2010 estimates, the total cost of the brain diseases in 2010 was about 403 million AED ($110 million). This number will increases as the country works to provide medical care. The only way to stop this issue from increasing is to create awareness, and ensure that residents live healthier lives. There is a need to set up and build a long term facilities for patients who needs medical care. Here in Abu Dhabi there are very few of these exist. Within the UAE culture where old people are cared for at home their families are required to get help from specialist nurses and caretakers

INTRODUCTION 1.4 Project goals and objectives: The main objectives of this project is to achieve a new way of understanding to improve the brain performance, to work with all facets of brain health because knowledge gained from treating and investigating one disease of the brain will advance our understanding of others, To serve people suffering from persistent symptoms due to brain injury or concussion(s), Help patients establish brain-healthy habits to help decrease long-term risk factors. Also to help the patients to understand and coexist with their cases, and achieve outstanding scientific research in various areas of brain. For healthy people this center will give them the opportunity to get a collage training which means that it will help to increase the productivity of the students, gain better ability with their study habits, get better understanding, and raise mental energy and provide a mental edge that helps them stay on top of their studies. Also the center include a SMART camp (Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training), this camp will be as intensive courses that designed to help the teenager to improve his/her thinking and understanding skills; those exercises will help them to engage and excel in and out of the classroom by creative and practical brain performance exercises. This camp is not only for teens it’s also for professionals who wants to elevate their thought leadership, determine cognitive output and support brain health. For researchers, the center will provide them with all the facilities they need to complete their researches about the brain diseases, and find a cure for these diseases and will give them the opportunity to present their researches for people who are interested in the same sector.

PRECEDENT STUDIES 3.2 Reason of selection: This project was chosen because it is one of the three projects in the world specialized in the brain and its diseases. It is an iconic landmark in terms of its architectural design in Las Vegas, this building is that everybody in town knows about it and know where the building is and the function of it, this is exactly the feeling I want to achieve in the design. This project is one of the projects that deals specifically with degenerative brain which will give a full understanding to the main programs and functions that should be added in my project. It introduces the concept of the outdoor public spaces and indoor spaces which will make the people want to visit the place more, remember it from its unique form, speak about it and enjoy it more, and this is what the architect was seeking to achieve in his design. The outside has totally different feeling, it feels very chaotic, disconnected but when you’re inside the building it gives you a sense of calm.
3.3 Site and location: Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health Located in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. The center built on the limited plot poor Bonneville Av, Promenade Place, W.Clark Av and Grand Central Pkwy, the main entrance on 888 West Bonneville Avenue in downtown Las Vegas.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN 7.1 Design concept summary: The brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. Our thought, action, memory, feeling and experience of the world produced by our brain. Kite Center for Brain Health is a research institute and a medical center focused exclusively on brain health that combines brain research with clinical interventions. The Center will provide academic training, houses specialists, rehabilitation in a hub for training, research, and clinical care. A place where people that are suffering from brain disease or a brain injury, as well as healthy people can go to improve their brain performance and make their brains more efficient and healthier. And also the project will include a research center for researchers need to complete their researches about the brain diseases, and find a cure for these diseases and will give them the opportunity to present their researches for people who are interested in the same sector. Since the program of the project has different facilities its better do define the facilities with masses for easy access. The design of the project is inspired by brain synapses. Brain synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. At the point when a nerve signal reaches the end of the neuron, it can’t just pass to the next cell. It must release neurotransmitters to be able to carry the impulse to the next neuron. This accuracy of the system is specified by the quality of these connections and the design of the facility must work at the same level and create a strong connection between patients, clinicians and researchers. The design of the building will provide many spaces for rest and also short corridors with simple circulation to minimize mental and physical stress. Also the design will provide an access to sunlight and garden spaces which promotes the idea of meditation and relaxation.

CH7
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN 7.3 Site response and program layout: The psychological state of users is very important, and the type of the building was a key factor in selecting the site, the selected site should be in a quite spacious area to accommodate all the facilities and landscaping features away from the noise of the city. The project site facing the sea and it surrounded with green spaces which is a good point for the brain center to be facing nature element that’s deliver the relaxation for all users. And also the site surrounded with variety of hotels which will give an opportunities for the international visitors to stay at hotel they want. In addition, there is a garden that is exactly in the opposite side of the site, beside the park there’s a small mosque. The site surrounded with tall buildings which will reduce the harsh and direct sun and give shading to the site this can help to have outdoor spaces for some activities without worrying about the sun and shading.
Figure 95: showing the location of the site and the surrounding
CH7
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN 7.4 Design rational: The program of the project helped in defining the shape of the building, and the orientation of it, and also helped in zoning the functions based on the connection between each function and if it needs view or not. The diagram below shows the main spaces and the relationship between them.
