Keywords:

• An Interconnected web
Layered • Dense • Fused with Surroundings • Safe • Controlled • Authentic • Prime Mover
Inspiration(s):
This model was mainly inspired from graphic compositions using planar compositions and lines.
The Idea Behind It and where it came from:
This time I focused on Planar compositions and lines, I can start a basic form to show the directions that I want each activity to take, also how they come together and its relationships with 90 and 45 degrees grids.
Features that I want to keep:
• Having a journey and a link inbetween spaces. • Having a clear direction • Different levels • The density in the project
Ideas I’ll enhance further:
Think about • Scale • Constructability of the forms • To take the topography to our benefit
Feedback:
Problems with: • So conseptual • Wrong topography • Problem of scale compared • to surroundings
Potential from: • High level of experimentation • Simple forms, endless possiblities, with varity of vertical, horizontal planes, shading elements, barriers, etc. • Have a specific direction as an intervention • Usage of different axis
FINALLYY! WE HAVE SOMETHING TO DISSCUSS AND GIVE FEEDBACK ON!
The Idea Behind It:
Started to think about the activities I am having and the reasons why I need those activites. In addition to that I started to think about the feeling that I want the users to get inside and the interaction that is going to happen and how to do all of that.
Concept:
spirituality affect their sense of belonging and psychologically which again was affected due to their lifestyle and economical state which why I wanted to integrated in all activities.
Keywords: • Layered • Centered
Where it Came from:
Starting to understand the topography and making use of the context by doing the different zones according to the feelings
CONTEXTUAL MODEL THREE
Feedback:
Problems with: • Scale of masses is huge • Not using the levels correctly • Symmetric • Different structural systems, not clarified
Potential from: • Playing with topography to create different heights to enhance the journey. • Use of different enternaces, centeral courtyard. • The idea of having the multipurpose area as a shell structure started here to highlight its importance.
Inspiration(s):
This model was mainly inspired from some features from the context, like the patterns in sayeda Nafisa Mosque, having a shade to confine an area with a certain activity like their informal shops for instance, So i decided to use it in the multipurpose hall.
Features that I want to keep:
• Having a journey and a link inbetween spaces. • Seperating the different users journeys however here I tried to create nodes for them to meet
Ideas I’ll enhance further:
• The same idea of scale • Reduce the symmetry as the different activities will have different forms so it would actually delivers my massage.
New Idea that I thought about after this:
• Having more levels to balance both sides together. • Play with the topography
But the problem with that was that I would affect the side next to Al Ashraf street negatively of I made the project higher.
