Documentation Drawings Plans

The project aims at renovating two of Ammanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest houses located in Zahran distric, in high proximity to Amman City Canter. Since there are no documents or drawings of the houses, our team had to conduct a thorough investigation of their typology and construction techniques, as well as develop full detailed drawings that document the existing condition of the houses and identify their values. The two houses were built in the late 1920s, the earliest documents that mention the two houses date to the early 1950s (1951), probably when the new floor was added when the owner of the building submitted a request to the Municipality to add this new concrete floor.

This project aims at restoring 2 of Ammanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest 3-Bay houses and reuse them as a boutique hotel, in the heart of the city of Amman. Two additional floors were added to the orginal structure as loft houses. The new steel structural system works as a secondary system within the building body, and a new proposal for the treatment of the additional partâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facade was developed in order to make contrast with the existing.

Bedouin Home (Bayt Ash Sha’ar) Physical and Architectural Attributes

Project Description -

Minimal Intervention (Distinction between Old and New)

Structure of (Bayt Ash Sha’ar) The tent’s simple structure allows the Bedu to fold it, pack it, and move it easily.

The aim to this project is to develop a proposal for a restaurant owned and run by the bediuns living in the area around the Petra Archaeological Park, to replace the existing deteriorating one. The clients were, AL BDOUL ( Beduins ), UNESCO and The Jordanian Ministry of Tourism.

Foundations Scenarios traditional 1. Materials: shigag are made of goat and camel hair. The However, in Bedu home is Bayt Ash sha’ar: summer, it is made out of cotton. Heating inside is provided by the nigrah. • A long, horizontal black tent made of goat and camel hair cloth • Well adaptive to environmental factors 2. Moveable pieces: a. In summer: lifting rwaq and increasing the height of mejdam in • Maharam: is the quarter for women, order to ventilate the tent during summer. b.

A ditch is dug around Ash-is the quarter where adult males sleep and receive their guests. sha’ar to drain water away from it.

Both are furnished with simple furniture; for example pillows

3. Orientation: the front elevation usually faces east, and the hijal is opened in order to receive winter sun and avoid western wind. 4.

They also look for lands that provide water and Types: Classification of Bayt Ash Sha’ar grass for their livestock. However, during winter, Bedu try to avoid floodable areas.

Our approach is based on minimal intervention while satisfying the requirements of the client.

Posts Sides (Walls) Top (Roof) Guy Ropes (Tanab); fixed in the ground using cleats (Watad)

This is a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site, and this should be respected.

Raft Foundation

The framework is covered by ‘shigag’(longitudinal strips) that are 60 to 80 cm in run the length of Bayt Ash sha’ar. (most roofs are made with 6-8 shigag in width, resulting with a tent that is 3.6 - 6.4m wide)

We also want to create a distinction between the existing setting and the restaurant. All ICOMOS, UNESCO, and other charters and conventions call for that distinction. It is up for the architect to decide the nature of that distinction. We believe it should be very subtle. Therefore, we will use stone from the area, and the roofs will be treated in a way to resemble natural earth. Yet, the slabs would be concrete. And glass will be used as partition walls as well.

Foundation Depth =0.5 m that width,

Walls: a. Rwaq: Back wall consisting of 2 decorative strips made of goat and camel hair, joined together using a ‘dafa’iyah’ (longitudinal strip). Its lower part is called ‘sfalah’ Separate Foundation connected to the ground using a ‘sekkah’. b. Hijal: the front wall of Bayt Ash sha’ar c. Ruﬀah: side walls of Bayt Ash-sha’ar made of vertical ‘shigag’ d. Sahah: interior wall dividing the space inside

research

DRL - Design Research Laboratory The Architectural Association - School of Architecture The DRL , 16 months post-professional design program, leading to a MArch ( Architecture and Urbanism) degree. It is an open source design studio dedicated to a systematic exploration of new design tools, systems and discources, targeting design innovations in architecture and urbanism. The research targets investigating and developing design skills with which to capture, control and shape a continuous flow of information across the distibuted electronic networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapidly-evolving digital design disciplines. Under the Proto-Design agenda, behavioural, parametric and generative methodologies of computational design are coupled with physical computing and analogue experiments to create dynamic and effective feedback processes. As part of Parametric semiology studio, Patrik Schumacher. The belief is that architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s task and core competency has three dimensions; organization, articulation and signification. The brief suggests that a university is a sufficiently complex social institution so as to warrant and enable the design of such an artificial architectural language or system of signification. The designed campus would be an information rich, dense communication of the social interactions to be expected within its spaces. The designed semiological system should be conceived as a parametric system. The program domain, the domain of the signified, is best understood in terms of interaction patterns of communicative activities. This implies that the meaning of the system of signification can enter the digital model ( design medium) in the form of agents, crowd simulations and character animations. The system of signification works if the agents consistently respond to the relevant positional and morphological clues.

Architectural Association - Masters Thesis Proto-design / Protoypical Campus - Patrik Schumacher Studio 2010 - 2012

Code [9] is situated within Patrik Schumacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda for a Semiological Campus. That views architecture as a frame to order and adapt society, while pursuing architectural distinctions and differentiation to have cognitive intelligibility embedded within the proposal. Code [9] is challenging the traditional campus typology that exists today, by looking into education, society, environment and networks. The project deals with a proto-campus that is not site specific yet it is context specific. Dealing with urban sites that have embedded culture & activities, relationships on the micro and macro level, social behavior and architectural typology. It proposes a deployable system that can reconfigure into any environment and function as a flexible and interconnected campus. The synthesis is a new definition of a campus, one that is set within todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment and society. The campus is broken down into three distinct schools, Applied Sciences, Design, and Social Sciences. These each requires two vertical buildings, to contain their program. Each roughly contains five academic departments with four open spaces between of varying size depending upon the department. These clusters are then broken down to their individual program requirements, and subsequent room arrangements. These simple rules provide for distinct schools that form a semiological campus. School sizes were determined through campus, and student body population research, in phase I. Please see Code [9] phase I document for a thorough background in our research. We hope to change the current lateral thinking associated with campuses to one that is highly adaptable, networked, and recognizable yet rich with semiology.

We are challenging the tower typology initially by breaking down its relentless expression of floor plates. By dividing the tower into groupings with boundaries, through articulating the groups, by adding open space for further delineation, and then through activating those open spaces with the core and for future development to other towers.

The traditional campus model is typically a horizontal solution to organization that expands with time. Radiating from a central courtyard, outwards in an axial & hierarchical order. These are typically well suited to suburban locations with plentiful land supplies.

connection to other school

Our proposal for a vertical organization of a campus came after we examined what a city and educational institution needs. As cities and life grow denser and more chaotic with increased networks, so do the needs of educational facilities. Our campus is thought of as contributing and integrating into the city, through infrastructure and culture as a way of extending its limits, while using less land. Verticality, is our way of envisioning todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new university campus.

connection to other school

By understanding the traditional campuses local rules of adjacency and hierarchy, we are allowing the local to create the global. By utilizing custom written codes the campus has the capacity to recreate the functionality and vibrancy of a campus without having a pre-determined master plan.

The spaces connect based upon circulation patterns, room adjacencies and student capacities. These were then added to public private relationships to provide for a multidimensional series of rules. Thus making points of entry important, so a system of connections was developed to allow certain sides to connect to only a certain few others that were compatible. The processing work this term also changed the spaces to have the third dimension, this allows for us to create a densely packed program that provides for a diverse section. The over-all campus size can become reduced due to the non-standard approach to slab and spaces.

This cluster was trying to show the distinctions between itself and the design school. It become a much denser configuration of spaces, with a more rigid faรงade, yet become dynamic based upon the open space place between the core and faรงade.

This cluster was a first pass at combining multiple systems together. Trying to express an attitude towards the spatial configuration, how the structure was working as an endo and exo-skeleton, the path could interact with the faรงade and spaces, and how the skin would relate and change based upon the spatial type behind it.

research These test are looking at the displacement the structure has when gravity and loads are applied. Most tests were successful, but some areas become highly stressed, so we developed a system that when the results become highly stressed or tensioned, to thicken those members to accommodate the forces that are acting upon that area.

We under went a few setups to challenge our given norm of the circular plan as a facilitator of our campus. We tried many configurations, but learned that no shapes as a general start, were more efficient structurally then the circle. Most were compatible up until the double curvature test was done, which puts the circular plan at a big advantage.

research This is an example of the lecture hall within the design school. One can see the higher resolution of detail that is embedded within it. The slabs can become thinner due to the re-investigation of the waffle slab. And you can see the spatial implications of a lecture hall clearly by its consumption of the floor from skin to core.

This cluster is demonstrating the structural system of extruded plates, with the bracing layer of structure, a concept of skin, and how spaces become articulated. Through ramping, bridging, opening, or filling.

manhattan Manhattan was selected as our testing ground in phase I, and continued to be used in phase II. We choose to use this for our protocampus because of its diverse site types. Initially we tested our proto-campus upon 4 different sites, a larger site in Chelsea, an infill site in the Lower East, a typical block in Upper East, and a small site in Midtown. However, once we proved the system could be deployed on any site constraints, we then chose to pursue the two most diverse locations. Which were, Chelsea and Midtown because of the challenging site constraints. Chelsea becomes the landscape, where the schools begin to form a landscape based upon their relationship, while Midtown is the object, meaning it is an object within the landscape. The deployment of the system is implemented through our own processing algorithms that once again use agents to determine the campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over-all layout and form. The results speak for themselves, as the proto-system worked on both sites and fulfilled the campus requirements for program, circulation, atmosphere, and semiotics.

upper east A typical manhattan block that confines the setup to have a mix of kissing and bridging between the schools. It provides for a medium sized podium, or 6+/- floors, this is the basis of design.

midtown A dense site that takes roughly a Âź of a block, that creates a super block configuration. The schools mostly fuse together, with very limited bridging.

Project Description FABWARE is a series of studies offered as an introduction into generative systems for the construction of high-resolution redundant structures using specific computational procedures and physical prototyping. Main design challenge was to reinvent the building block within the context of large population constructed fabrics that can be differentiated without having to micromanage the masscustomized production and installation of large numbers of different components.

The pieces sticked to each other forming a stacked structure generating a special pattern. Disadvantages: paper is fragile therefore the components were easily breaking or bending.

It was possible in this assemblage to hang a group with only one piece. Changing a hanging piece allowed for self-reorganizing the assemblage. So, there always a different model emerged out of changing a hanging piece.
