College of Architecture, Art & Design Security Booth | Design/Build Studio
The life of the security guard revolves around the campus. For 12 hours every day, the security guard is bound to a rotating but predetermined location. If he is lucky, he is provided an air-conditioned booth. The goal of this project is to meet the varied needs of the guards inside the booth while providing as much comfort as possible. The location of the booth, being in close proximity to CAAD and the public front of the campus, predetermines it to become the landmark and beacon for the College of Architecture, Arts and Design. The landmark-quality of the project demanded formal deviations of the mashrabiya, producing signage, seating, and oculi. Bar-grate as a standard, off-the-shelf material was used because of its mass-produced mashrabiya-like qualities.

COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE ART & DESIGN | COMPREHENSIVE STUDIO
This project was aimed at targeting the existing stylistic monotony of the site. The brief required a community center to be placed in an area within the vicinity of several universities. The program therefore, included a library, a performance hall, cafĂŠ, and a multifunctional space. Divided into two buildings separated by a shaded courtyard, one half which is on the street-side of the project houses the public functions, and the recessed half contains the more private functions. The library is highlighted and emphasized by its unique structure and other-ness in relation to the rest of the project. Finally, privacy and light are made possible through the uses of channel glass with shifting degrees of transparency.

i-CONSTRUCT
The age of industrialization has caused a massive increase in waste production. Several factors including the surge in construction, population, and product consumption have led to our increased reliance on landfills. These landfills not only harm the environment but also create infertile land which is not suitable for construction. Because sustainable “green� efforts are being set aside in favor of more cost-effective yet toxic-emitting infrastructure, the environment is being neglected. The solution to this issue lies within three primary objectives: waste-recycling, constructing, and air-filtering. Remediating the landfill issue becomes of utmost importance. Efforts to revive the land from its toxic qualities must be undertaken to prepare it for future construction undertakings.

remediation
waste treatment
Assembled on a landfill/brownfield, mobile-waste-collectors are deployed to the targeted waste piles. The waste is collected and converted into energy using the plasma gasification process. Subsequently, remediation robot technology is sent out to prepare for construction. The collected waste is transformed into slag as a byproduct of the plasma gasification process. Slag becomes a nontoxic building material used in the construction phase. The complete reuse of materials and removal of waste lends i-construct to becoming a net-zero energy structure.

construction
The construction phase begins when the site has been completely remediated. Construction robotic technologies are transported downwards through the core, and carried to site. Upon completion of the construction phase, the structure is dismantled and deployed on another landfill/brownfield.
Signal Antenna The capping antenna is placed for allowing communication between the robots and machines and the main control system of the tower.
Air-Filtration Incorporating a compressor at the highest point in the tower takes in the polluted air from the atmosphere and extracts smog particles from within through compression. Upper Nozzles: Clean air output Lower Nozzles: Polluted air intake
Steel Column
Slag-Shell These pods create the outer shell which protects the machines from various weather conditions. Moreover, the pod plays the role of the re-charge center and parking spot when the machines are off-duty. Difference in color of the shell indicates the type of machine housed within, as well as the capacity of number of machines that can exist within every pod.

REMEDIATION COMPONENTS
CORE ASSEMBLY
AIR-FILTRATION
The tower must first begin by remediating the waste on site. The waste collectors along with the maintenance hub are prefabricated, and brought to site. Along with its other functions, it contains a battery to store energy.
As the hub has been placed in a fixed position on site, a steel structure is assembled with an attachment mechanism that allows container pods to be held. A lifting crane caps the structure to lift the printed structures into place. The steel structure comprises of:
Remediation and construction machines are brought to site and require a place to be contained and recharged. The 3D printers on the waste facilities begin printing the container pods which are lifted into the position by the cranes and attached to the rings.
The waste collectors are mobile vehicles whose job is to patrol the landfill and intake waste to produce energy. Each is equipped with a plasma gasification chamber, performing waste-to -energy operations. 3D printers which make use of the byproduct of the gasification process and print the parts of the tower installed on the waste collectors.

Steel columns Steel Ring
The steel columns and rings are prefabricated and brought to site for assembly. Through the center of the rings is avertical lift which carries the machines into their pods.
3D Printer Built-in 3D printers create the outer shells of the upper pods which house the machines and protect from various whether conditions during the re-charging phase. The Printers receive the printing material from recycled waste material in the form of molten slag.
The tower contains an air-filtration system which functions based on a “SMOG” compression mechanism, whereby the polluted air is taken and compressed till it separates the pollutants in the form of powder. The clean air is sent back into the atmosphere and the “SMOG” powder, mixed with adhesive, is turned into building blocks.
Maintenance Hub Maintenance operations on machines returning from construction sites are done within the hub. The intelligent robotic arms also take part in loading and unloading materials on trucks.
A MACHINE FOR LIVING
Exploring the industrial functionality of the site, the aim of this project was to create a machine which found its way into the depths of the site. The project is composed of a series of frames that are situated alongside one another, and enclosed by a pneumatic membrane. Once the pneumatic membrane is pumped with air, the frames move together and rise upwards to create a canopy-like structure which shades the courtyards underneath. As an architectural institute, the requirements included a series of work studios, administrative offices, a gallery space and an auditorium. Digging its way into the depths of the ground, the machine creates an underground space for all the functions of the project, leaving the gallery space within the enclosure of the pneumatic membrane.

SHOWER IN THE STREETS
Living on the streets is an uneasy condition to be placed in. The unfortunate people have little or no access to food, water, shelter, and amenities to maintain their hygiene. The project aims at providing a sustainable, low-energy outdoor shower for the ones in need. Located in the UAE, the project structure is made of reinforced concrete, a material found excessively in the region. The structure is elevated off the ground allowing the piping to run below it, also providing space for potential growth of plants from the offset water of the showers. The openings in the concrete walls are concealed with the use of twisting wooden louvers which allow for light to enter yet allow for privacy within the individual booths. The structure is attached to the abolition wall of a mosque which receives its water from an underground well.

THE BARGE RESTAURANT | RIPAROCIBO
EMAAR Properties had commissioned a competition to inhabit the downtown boulevard fountain feature. The program required a restaurant which floated on the water, including an interior as well as an exterior space. Being a retail venue which was entirely commissioned by EMAAR Properties, the project needed to follow the typology of architecture and style in the area. Louvers and glass facades were high in-use in the downtown boulevard area. A floating structure on the water of the fountain was a very difficult aspect of the project, due to the fact that the depth of the water did not exceed 1.5m. The shape of the barge seemed adequate due to its long spans yet shallow nature. The two-story restaurant sits on a barge shaped base which is anchored to the ground.
