Reflective Introduction To be creative that's a human complexion, to be a designer that's individualism. My portfolio is a consistent of documentations, evaluations, communications, advertising projects, building network, developing proposals, developing programs, and site analyses, meeting with design panels etc.. Being able to develop an idea, design it , sketch it , and then translate it into words, written design statements for others to understand makes up a huge part of architects work, and that's how I approached my design.

Architects need well developed critical thinking, interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills.The ability to reason logically through a problem, and argue compently to its solution all helped in my design thinking, and design process.

Project One :Material operation 6

Sketch Models Iteration is a process, either to generate an unbounded sequence of outcomes, or with the aim of approaching a desired goal, it has introduced new ideas, and better form through procrastination, and misapprehension.

On the very beginning of the foundation studio course. I was given four pieces of plane papers were I had to carefully fold, with no tears or cuts, to experiment with different ideas on developing a model for a marble to run.

7

In this first model I developed a concept of a parking garage, and a roller coaster.This model focused on the idea of marble spinning. The events were horizontal, and vertical with the marble falling through a spiral. With the height challenge, I focused on keeping the surface flat to allow circulation movement.

8

Model Two

Model Three

My second, and third model are a combination of both my first iteration, and my parking garage/roller coaster concept. As bristol board was introduced, I discovered flexibility, and decided to use this to my advantage. I incorporated the same ideas from my previous design. Changing the circulation, and movement of the marble, by bringing the spiral into the tube, where the spiral transfers into a ramp, leaving rooms for the 9 marble to run. These models had both vertical, and horizontal movement discovered by my previous iteration.

Moving on to the final product of project one, which consists of two levels made out of chipboard, and Bristol board to create a much easier, and dramatic flow for the marble.

These two levels are open from both sides, and placed oppositely from each other, where the tube(marble path) goes through these levels. My focus for this project was to create functionality for my models within the guidelines. I learned how to manipulate different materials to work collaboratively in to one functional design.

Sketch Models

Light Experimentation

Closely studying through drawings, spatial compositions, and constructions from the final model of project one, and analysing work using light as a new parameter.Exploration of light from five positions (components 90%,50%,10% light).

12

Exploring bristols reflective quality, with 50% light, and 50% coverage. This model is part of my light sketch models

Exploring the combination of bristol, and chipboard , it's composed of the five sketch models with 50% experience of light.

Orthogonal drawings at Âź “ scale based off of 50% transparent model

13

The Wave

This model introduces a new idea “Waves�, follows the 50%90%,10% light consistency rule . It is based of all of my previous iterations , with the concept of an airport, and a metaphor of waves. I was able to achieve two levels of light transparency (50%,10%) with the use of chip, bristol board, and basswood. Manipulating these materials enabled me to create interesting light conditions which allow in the right amount of light.

14

After developing the Wave metaphor on the previous model. I decided to use bristol board as my main tool to control transitions of light, due to the fluidity, and the transparency of this material,it made it challenging. But I took advantage of its fluidity, and I cut strips of bristol, and bended them to make the model look more wave like.

15

Now on this model I successfully achieved the three light consistencies (90%,50%10%) required, to develop different light transitions showing the person experience with light as they travel in , and out of the wave, keeping same characteristics.

16

Gathering all the ideas, and the experiments that I performed on the previous Iterations to create “The Final Wave�, where not only I made the person experience different transitions of light , but also walk into a Real wave. The person first walks in with 90% experience of light , then transitions on to 50% ,and eventually onto a 10% , leaving the wave behind. The person will not be walking with different light transitions, and a wave looking model only, but he will be traveling in the model on wave like path until he's out of the wave.

17

Those drawings are charcoal perspective drawings, there purpose is to show the study of different light conditions coming through the wave.

Project Three: Occupying space 19

A longitudinal section showing the elevations of the row of houses and the little store A site plan

TASK In project three I was introduced to tectonics, thresholds, and understanding spaces in relation to human scale.

I was given a site at Newbury street downtown Boston to design, one contemplation space, three intimate spaces, an open space to the public, and BAC students, with a studio.

Those are orthogonal drawings made of the site, where I start to understand how space translates to scaled drawings.

This is a Âź inch scale model based on the concept of a cloud, considered more of a sketch model where it occupies three spaces with different light conditions, and two thresholds connected to the upper side walk , tectonics are introduced here, with the use of different materials.

22

On this model I start to develop Nests as a concept.The focus of my design concept was to create obstructed contemplation space for the use of the public, and BAC students. The foundation of the design successfully uses tectonics, and thresholds, while simultaneously creating various interact, and intimate spaces. Creating all of these different nest like shapes, which contain different transitions of light, arranged at different heights,with curved path that ties them all together.

Charcoal perspective drawing 23

This is a model that has been created to feel like a nest but not necessary look like one.

24

I focused on designing a space which simplifies all the personalities of people, traffic, and the rush ness of Newbury street by sharing resources ,and minimizing impact on the environment. Each space has its own unique light condition ,which not necessarily have to look like a nest but feels like one. Residence next door, and all social classes will come play, work, and live in harmony. This design will promote sense of place, and community.

CITY LAB

CITY LAB Raghed bakir BARCH

31

City Lab Intensive : Retrospective Summary : City lab is a course that introduces us to Boston as our learning center, going on tours, observing designs, and landscapes, based on real buildings. Sketching, and discussing the five lenses, open spaces, human comfort, mobility, culture/social , and built form.

Separated on to groups, our first destination was at Prudential We discussed open space. How all corridors lead to one big open space, and what makes it open space, high ceilings, glass roof lights, and etc... Then we headed next to the Christian Science museum,

The Christian Science Museum had two fountains, one as big as a pool, and the other was a splashing fountain .Both had a sense of design put into them, and a very good usage of the open space, they also gave out a very nice breeze.

But why two fountains in one place? why one bigger than the other? why one had sense of movement more than the other? Questions I learned to ask myself to take in considerations about everything.

Arriving at the city hall, (which is all built out of concrete inside out), the design of the building was inspired by the oldest city hall in the world.

Its heavy structure was designed to make it accessible for people to walk through to the plaza, and to host huge public events .it's pretty much unique, and impressive, it also gave privacy, which other buildings may lack.

Zakim Bridge. Zakim Bridge is a two concrete triangular shaped bridge, with huge cables connected, that crosses Charles River connecting Boston to Charlestown, it carried four lanes in bound, and four lanes outbound, with a two outbound lanes merging to the side. I was told that it was world's widest cable bridge that was ever built.

What I really loved about this bridge is that the holes in it are designed for the sun rays to pass through so that fish can continue on their path without getting lost.

Human path

On our way to Haymarket, we passed by a building that had a very old red bricks that have been pulled out intentionally.

The bridge actually mirrors down.

Moving on to sectioning, and intersections (which i have to do using imperial system not the metric ). We were just introduced to this technique so we did a lot of sections .

This was a section in south end.

we also did some charrates moving on from sectioning roads to sectioning buildings, that's where we learned a new term called Palimpsest which means a partial erasures or physical traces that remain in the built environment which inform us about the past history of a place.

Something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form: something having usually diverse layers or aspects apparent beneath the surface.

Examples of palimpsest Back bay

Broadway

Hanover street

32

Walking all the way to Hanover Street, (one of my favorite streets in Boston) settled by Italian immigrants, and Indians. It’s full of Italian restaurants, café shops etc…we were assigned to walk down the street quietly as we observe, smells, sounds, and sights.

George Q Square

The idyllic scenery of the drawing reflected the state of mind in which the artist was in, which can be vividly identified due to the primary elements of earth, and nature assimilated into the drawing .Although the drawing was in black, and white, the contrast of these two colors allowed for sense of balance between the dark, and bright shades which portray a sense of gloom in harmony with illumination.

Our final destination was the south station, was huge and had all kinds of transportation.

China Town

Hanover is one of Boston’s old streets. It made me feel like I was walking down one of Italy streets. We then had to catch up with the group at north end, and draw a map of what we saw, and observed. Which again challenging, trying to remember all details, and what’s important, and what isn’t. We represented/shared our maps with each other at Copps Hill, We also did the same thing in chinatown.

walking across Boston harbor,we spotted a building with a landscape drawing,

320 Newbury Street is a Brutalist building designed by the firm of Ashley, Meyer & Associates in 1966 and renovated in 2000

by Silverman Trykowski Associates. The design intended for the building "... not to depend on a sense of weight to achieve importance" but rather, through the energy of form, to evoke a sense of aliveness and contending". The design uses cantilevered, suspended masonry masses and accentuated vertical "slits" in the exterior by which some of the building's core functions can be seen from the outside.

Prayer Movements/postures and its physical benefits Why we pray?

Islam is a religion that is actually more than a religion. It is a way of life. While for many religion is something practiced on a weekly basis, for Muslims it is a way of life that flows into every aspect of their being. Islam is concerned with healthy believers; healthy in mind, body, and spirituality. The way we pray demonstrates this.

“Verily, the prayer is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours”. (Quran 4:103) “And I did not create Jinn and humankind except to worship Me Alone” (Quran 51:56) This picture has been taken of the internet

44

Postures

1.

Standing

2. Deep Bowing

3. Kowtowing( touching the forehead on the ground).

4. Sitting

Muslims pray in the early morning before sunrise, in the middle of the day, in the afternoon, at sunset and at night. Muslims pray in obedience to God because they believe God created humankind for no other purpose except to worship Him. Allah, the Exalted, says: “…glorify the Praises of your Lord, before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting. And during a part of the night (also) glorify His praises …” (Quran 50:39-40) Prophet Muhammad said, in his authentic traditions “Pray as you have seen me pray”

Kowtowing( touching the forehead on the ground).

1.

Maintains the lymph, skeletal systems , the prostate, bladder and adrenal glands.

The placement of the forehead upon the ground causes an increased blood supply to the brain and has been cited as having a good effect upon memory, vision, hearing, concentration, and other cognitive abilities .

46

As I move through the positions of prayer, standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting, it assists in general good health by stimulating the large intestine, and aiding detoxification, and digestion.

47

Since I perform this everyday, what I have noticed while praying is that lack of comfort, disturbs praying. I have decided to build a body device that helps with the five time meditation prayer which would give me the ability to pray anywhere without having to occupy much space.

After carefully diagramming, and looking at other triathlons. I start to push my critical thinking to a more coherent, narrative, better developed physical, and spatial implications that come with the activities. I start to negotiate the influences of the programs, site, analysis, and conceptual understanding in ordering, and organizing spaces.

68

I start to slowly translate all of my ideas, documentations, sketches, sketch model, into a well programed, organized model.

69

Floor plan two

In this iteration i'm will aware of both sensory, and kinetic interactions on this site, so my design is all about large massing moves. During the triathlon athletes will be coming in to the site in a semicircular path, to finish off right at the center of the site. Where spectators will go up the ramp that transitions to a second floor sitting area with very interesting green roofed ceilings, and a living garden that meanders all the way through.

I have successfully met all requirements on this model, and had a stronger vision on how the space would be utilized throughout the year. I have installed a public restroom, under the unutilized space under the ramp, with the eager of adding a sense of public park to the area,I moved forward with the meandering language to build benches for pedestrians to sit on while waiting for their bus.

72

Coming into the final iteration for this project, I start to bring in all of my knowledge about light,thresholds, and tectonics.

I moved forward with the meandering interpretation, and decided to extend the semi-circular path to an elongated path that meanders all the way through the site.

Then the ramp transitioned into this inclination of glass that invites pedestrians to the second floor. Which created this sensational sense of light underneath. Which will be a dedicated gallery space for the public.

RAGHED BAKIR COMMUNITY PRACTICE Raghed Bakir BARCH Boston Architectural college

77

About Community Practice This course serves as an introduction to professional design practice, the Practice Department at the BAC, and to the values and priorities of the design process at the BAC. It will help prepare students to enter the worlds of both concurrent learning at the BAC, and professional design practice. Students will learn in both lecture and project-based formats, and will be responsible for working cooperatively and collaboratively in a team on a group project. Though CP will use a design project as the catalyst and lab for teaching those lessons and concepts, the focus in CP will be on acquiring and practicing the skills required to practice design professionally, not just to design professionally. Communication, collaboration and community engagement form the bases for three modules. Students will engage in learning by doing, and they will be required to document, reflect, and analyze their work at the end of each of the three modules and at the end of the semester.
