TERMINAL BATHS
Due to the evolution of technology and globalization, we humans have lost the conversation between our body and our built environment. In our contemporary cities the dialogue happens in the way of how we live and experience the places we use. Using water as a critical element of our urban spaces, its experience and metaphysical nature plays a big role in the phenomenology of architectural understanding. In other words, the body is the main generator of design and this thesis explores its dialogue with the environment through water as an important element of architecture.

A state of the art agriculture solar parka well-positioned agro-productive community, integrated tourist resort, a wide range of cultural and leisure facilities, Innovation Research & Development Center with 90% of the land coverage dedicated to green areas
METZINGEN OUTLET CITY
Metzingen is located in the middle of the Ermstal, surrounded by vineyards and typical regional orchards.
Moreover Metzingen is a city that is easily identifiable nowadays by its shopping environment and modern stores and brands.
With our perception at the Outlet City we identified the language and the difference between the outlet city and the old town.
Throughout the design process we aim to connect the old town to the modern outlet city by blending it along the river bank.
Emulating the situation at the outlet city along with the difference in architecture and density in the city, we proposed a design to create visual connections, spatial order and hierarchy along the river to activate it and blend the old town with the new
Ground Floor Apartments
The project aims at uniting the 9 blocks together through integration with the public spaces that extend beyond one block to create bigger open spaces that can host diverse activities to engage people of all ages and interests into the social spaces. Moreover, the super block aims to provide safe areas for pedestrian connections through urbanizing the secondary streets and extending the pathways for a more continuous flow. Hence, the block is fully connected through these public spaces and pathways which give opportunity of activating all the facades of the buildings to engage with these areas through facilities that support culture,

SPANDAU BALLET
The main aim of this project is to revive a plot located in Spandau where it has a bad history in the german culture. this site was initially used to barracks for soliders in the WW2.
The site is occupied now with refuges. The site is separated from the outside.
The buildings inside the plot were scatered and the spaces were poorly developed. Buildings in the site are mostly historical buildings that cant be removed. So to revive the site we had to work as a surgeon “not to remove all the buildings and start from scratch”. Therefore, the historical buildings were integrated with new buildings in order to form clusters with good public and semi-public spaces
