THE ALTERNATIVE SPACE reshaping pier 01

THE CONCEPT Rigid to fluid - Maximizing public accessibility The site is currently the main port in Aqaba, and it is directly related to formalities and logistics, the image of the site was formed as a serious prohibited site. The concept is to reshape the idea of the site through reshaping the site itself, using the physical characteristics of sea and water, sun and light, introducing new spaces and elements attached to non-formalities and entertainment.

PROJECT DISCRIPTION

second year Revit 2016 2015 Photoshop CC

The excercise was to design an academy for the arts and crafts majors in Amman, the site was also in the Jabal Amman area, theprogram should include multiple workshops, for wood metal and other types of crafts, Studios, exhibitions and Administration.

ARTS ACADEMY

THE CONCEPT

On the east and west side of the site,there was two streets, the one on the west had yearly events which made it a known street, on the other side, the eastern street was abandoned and dead, I wanted to both streets through my project which might create an opportunity to bring back the life to the street. Also, I wanted to optimize the use of the view and minimize the cut and fill chances, by building on mulitiple levels and creating an courtyard.

create a enclosure by building walls around the site.

cut the walls to create significant entrances.

accomodate the targeted audience.

optimize the inner space as a public park.

create entrances at multiple vivid nodes in the area.

adapt to the context by lowering the northern side to maximize view and lefting the southern side to create shade

PROJECT DISCRIPTION

third year 2016

AHMAD OSNII PEI PAVILION

Using the ruled surfaces method, we had to design a pavilion that would be inspired by an artist, this artistâ&#x20AC;şs work Rhino/Grasshopper Photoshop CC should be featured in the nationa Jordanian museum of Modern Art in Jabal alWeibdeh

RULED SURFACES

THE CONCEPT

In geometry, a surface S is ruled (also called a scroll) if through every point of S there is a straight line that lies on S. The most familiar examples (illustrated here in three-dimensional Euclidean space) are the plane and the curved surface of a cylinder or cone. Other examples are a conical surface with elliptical directrix, the right conoid, the helicoid, and the tangent developable of a smooth curve in space. A ruled surface can always be described (at least locally) as the set of points swept by a moving straight line. For example, a cone is formed by keeping one point of a line fixed whilst moving another point along a circle. In this project we are to use one type of the ruled surfaces, in which the swept line, is meerly in the opposit location as the original location.

Ahmad Osnii Pei, a visual artist from Indonesia, something special and appealing about Ahmad`s sculptures, it is the unity and wholeness that comes through so well. "this intellectual sculptor produces pieces which challenge paintings on canvas, with their nonfigurative forms symbolizing unity, joined in harmony with the idea of wholeness, a concept of gestalt" Looking at one of Ahmad`s sculptures that was displayed in The Jordan National Gallery of fine Arts, Polanoor, It made me realize soothing and eye appealing his curves are, so i decided to use the way he draws line and creates them to portray his style in this pavilion. And reacting to the site, it had to be adapting to the parameters of the location. Visiting the site, the first to catch my eye, was the Bell tower of the Orthodox Church and the minaret of the Kind Abdullah I Mosque. And I had to frame those two great elements, that introduce the coexistence of religions in Jordan.

AQABA RESORT AND WELLNESS CENTER

THE CONCEPT The sun can be the ultimate healing element and a great architectural parameter.

define the site boundaries.

since we are building on a beachwhich used to be public, the site should be divided to keep fullfilling the public needs, the southern side will be the site of the resort to maximize the use of sun light. after dividing the site, the public area will be landscaped to inrich the area with greenery, the functions of the resort will be placed on the southern side with the pools and the outdoors area.

arrange the administration functions along a big wall to divide the two zones giving more privacy, and creating shade for the public beach.

bend the wall along with the sun path to optimize the largest availbe amount of sun light at the area of the resort.

extending lines from the large wall to create the guest rooms, unifying form and maxmizing sun use in the whole area of the resort.
