The Fall 2019 studio project is about addressing the complexity of healthcare design, by investigating existing design practices and mindsets associated with healthcare architecture and proposing alternative concepts that improve the healthcare experience on multiple levels. Specifically, the project reconfigures the user interrelations (patients and medical staff), redraws the spaces that host such interaction, and injects design solutions that are proven to be very beneficial for healthcare facilities (such as access to natural environments, light, and air). Also, the project challenges the healthcare design industry that is dominated nowadays by functional and financial priorities, leaving little to no space for creative spatial thinking that is sensitive to the occupants. Overall, the design is serving the community through providing an open and welcoming platform that fosters a sense of social bonding and improves life quality (Urban farm, farmers market, Farmacy, learning experiences, healthier lifestyle). Furthermore, the project is sensitive to patient needs by providing access to better-designed clinics. The clinics are designed to feel like home for faster recovery rates (access to natural environment and light). Finally, the project is aware of the staff burnout concepts and addresses the issue through the provision of retreat spaces (gym, relaxation lounges, private garden). The project is equipped with sustainable design strategies such as vertical gardens, green surfaces, livable walls (Moss based) that provide a healthier interior and exterior environments for the building occupants and the community in general.

As a team, we were tasked to design a healthcare facility that offered refuge in times of crisis. We focused on emphasizing the personal needs of hospital staff (doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses), and welcoming in the local community of New Orleans. The project is a multi-level clinic that provides multiple types of clinical and social interactions between the medical staff, patients, and the community as estuary spaces dedicated to both groups. Through a series of related filters, we investigated the use of the ground plane as a mediator between the city and the existing hospital complex. Our examination of clinical resources focused on improving institutional wellness for doctors and staff by 1) synthesizing experiences into an interconnected whole, and 2) entangling divergent populations on a natural landscape, considering their collective care and holistic betterment. Re-imagining the proposed Health Facility as an open place included offering a variety of health possibilities and typologies amidst an urban oasis. Our work involved assessing site behaviors and providing for wellness based on differing scenarios. We believe our project proposal presents New Orleans as a resilient city and the University Hospital Site as functioning communally during regular times and extraordinary circumstances.

This Project is a new community center design for a North Philadelphia Neighborhood. Following a careful site analysis and an indepth look into Temple University’s master plan, we decided that our design should stand out in its local urban context, and set the stage for the Cecil B Moore community to thrive in the area. A healthy urban environment should allow both the university and the community, to equally grow together. Through our materials choices, we wanted the base of our project to be red brick. This would allow our design to connect and merge with the local context. On the other hand, we decided to use contemporary materials such as black aluminum panels, screens to accentuate a more futuristic design vocabulary. From our project’s early design stages, we investigated how an Atrium space would serve as the heart of our design parti. The atrium space serves many roles including: - The host of a core circulation, where all the major program components converge and unite. - Inspired by the M museum in Belgium, the atrium contains a ramp/ stairs device that helps to transition smoothly from the site’s different levels. At the same time, it provides an indoor landscape that can be a host of multiple activities. - The atrium would be the space where everything melts and merges. For instance, the Café area would merge with the atrium and connect with the gathering spaces for the auditorium and the gymnasium. In addition to our Atrium space, the gymnasium became an important space in our design. Situated between the north and west facade, the gymnasium sloped roof converges towards the north where a completely transparent façade connects our project with Elverson’s school courtyard. As for sustainable strategies, the project uses multiple ones including accessible green roofs and installed PV panels on top of the atrium space (these panels will help in shading the atrium during hot seasons). Furthermore, we used PV panels on our southern façade sloped walls (which will also shade the façade from sunlight during hot seasons).

What is a sanctuary? And how can we design a place for celebration and contemplation in a space heavily charged with dark history and pain such as the immigration station on Angel Island? My sanctuary design is telling a story, that starts with pain and desolation and ends with solace. This story is divided into three main phases: Through a sequenced path, the experience starts by gathering visitors and leading them towards an underground passage. The tunnel would be concrete, dark and narrow, where people will get closer and closer. Giving them a glimpse of how immigrants were stacked and overcrowded while being conducted to the island. Under the heavy sounds of tectonic chimes, they touch and feel the rigid, cold concrete walls. The cacophony produced makes them feel annoyed and want to leave the tunnel. The light at the end of the tunnel guides them to an exit, where they reach a wide-open space, that makes them feel a relief. Then, they will have the opportunity to engage with a variety of spaces individually or in groups. The visitors have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful views of the bay area, while keeping in the back of their mind that people suffered to get to the land of opportunities. A discovery quest will be engaged. The design makes sure to communicate the stories of immigrants through Their collected poems. Testimonies are carved on the bottom of the reflection pool that restores the old pier.
Existing Buildings and Former USIS Building Foundation
Preserving the existing foundation by carving the entrance and the tunnel adjacently. The project third phase will be dominating the waterfront.
The tectonic structure will hover over the foundation footprint without touching it.
Preserving the existing vegetation
Restoring the old pier by installing a reflection pool that connects with the sea via an artificial water cascade.
Sequencing and Circulation Diagram
The produced sound type and quality depend on the length, width, thickness, and material of the rods. The design parti focuses on the length of the tubes (to produce particular sound qualities) and the size of the sail (The bigger the sail, the less frequently sound produced) to manipulate the typology and the frequency of the produced sounds:
