Urban Loop Holes Social Housing 5th Year Architecture Design Studio, AUS, Prof. Jason Carlow

In Sharjah, United Arab Emirates Group member: Jumana Abbas

Based on a critical urban analysis of Sharjahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial zones, specifically focused around mobility for vehicles and socio-economic mobility for workers, Urban Loop Hole is a proposal for greater symbiosis between architecture and infrastructure. By integrating housing and new public amenities within new layers of elevated roadways, the project not only improves vehicular mobility within the site, but uses a large-scale investments in vehicular infrastructure as a platform to offset the cost of social infrastructure. By elevating roadways and embedding looping, highway off-ramps into new buildings on vacant industrial lots, the project is able reclaim the existing ground level as public space. Situated above, below or adjacent to the roadways, the architectural geometry and building typology of the housing is adapted to the curvature of the curving ramps. Considering the project at a larger scale, Urban Loop Hole provides a new design methodology to integrate architecture with vehicular infrastructure that could be deployed in similar urban conditions across the globe.

Through our site analysis of Barcelona, mainly 22@, our approach derived through inverting the relationship of un-apparent spaces, the negative spaces which are the alleys, become the bridges and the positive spaces become the plazas. Such relationship creates a network of connection and circulation between one zone and another. The bridges become the a chunk of primary feature habitable spaces of the project, creating an â&#x20AC;&#x153;upper network of streetsâ&#x20AC;?, where they invite the user to explore the procession of circulation around the complex. The main volumes, containing the programs within the design complex are the research centre, library, auditorium, workspaces, studios and a residential complex.

1979 marks an acceleration in the transformative period in the history of the UAE. With the state visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and the opening of the Dubai World Trade Center during her visit, the UAE clearly demonstrated its vision and ambition to become a beacon of globalization. A melting pot of culture and tolerance, this vision came to life due to the strategic setting of goals and milestones. We always look onto the horizon to aspire for the next big achievement, and the World Trade Center presents this window to the UAE’s transformation by being a beacon of achievment. Horizon aims to highlight the country’s transformation catalyst, The World Trade Center in Dubai, and celebrate its legacy as an icon of this period.

Primarily using the program Arch Module Example Blender with the Tissue plug-in, we were able to generate different formal iterations of the pavilion. The fabrication process of this project utilizes 3d printing. It is both additive and stereotomic. By ensuring that each module interlocks with one another, the pieces remain dry fit thus making the entire structure mobile and efficient in terms of transportation and assembly. Block 84 is a part of a potentially larger network of small pockets of respite located across Dubai to accommodate pedestrians.

Barjeel Modern Arab Art Musuem Competition Entry In Al Tarfa, Sharjah, UAE

Group member:Jumana Abbas Building on architectural elements found

in the oldest schools, local markets and mosques of Sharjah, the Barjeel Modern Art Museum is a homogenous representation of composed arches that define, and most importantly, facilitate a dynamic experience for the visitors. Playful in its architectural composition, the museum’s arches invite and orient where the next exhibition will be, where to pause and contemplate an art piece, or where to reflect with a colleague about Barjeel’s timeless collection. To that end, our proposal reflects upon the circulation of knowledge and languages across territories, borders, institutions and media. The caravanserai, the roadside inn, at once aided the flow of commerce, goods, information, people across the network or trade routes coveing Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, now lies at the core of our design. Each exhibition space becomes its own caravanserai; a transient pit stop, yet a fixed and an integral space to the overall thematic region-based galleries. Whereas the bare, minimal buildings homogeneously adapts with the surrounding architecture and the warm, inviting colors revitalize the urban fabric of Sharjah. Yet most importantly, the reinterpretation of the caravan’s route embracing the spirit of Barjeel’s collection, always mobile and en route, but has now settled in at the Barjeel Modern Art Museum.

This mosque competition entry encompassed the analysis of the Dubai Creek area. With its cross link feature of the area, the mosque morphs its facade to express a ying yang approach to an inviting entry facade.

Conceived as a celestial theater, the Deira Waterfront Mosque follows Islam’s beliefs on community and equality. Both male and female, performing the ritual of prayer, acquire a non-identitarian and homogeneous character in order to submit to the orders of humbleness and spirituality under the presence of God. Through the use of subtle volumes, both, men and women interact harmoniously throughout the interior and exterior context. Seen from all directions, the subtle piece is a reminder of Sinan’s metaphor “in every corner is a rose garden of Paradise”. Every side of the urban piece acquires a different trait as it interacts with the users and the physical and symbolic context of the place: the boulevard at the north, the park at the east, the street at the south, and the direction of Mecca at the west. As a significant urban and religious piece, the volume is both, the end and the beginning of a symbolic narrative. At the boulevard side, north of the site, the mosque is accessed through a monumental sinuous veil that contains the entrance to the women’s prayer space and embraces the men’s two-story prayer hall. The veil, a sinuous surface composed of perforated panels, allows for the entrance of natural light and the projection of artificial illumination. Similar to the function of the minaret, the façade illuminates during the call of the prayer, syncretizing both, acoustical and visual attributes. The boulevard, conceived as a tree lined access, connects the city to the mosque’s urban context composed of apartment buildings, parking lots, and a pocket park. The park, adjacent to the east side of the mosque, engages with the syncretic functions of both genders.

The “Tearing” act of the ebtry way emphasizes the initial procession point as it is backed up by the landscape articulation of the primary walkway.

The male entrance at the south-east corner together with the ablution space at the ground level, acts as a symbolic pillar that supports the women’s ablution and prayer hall on the first floor. Towards the south, and opposite to the women’s entrance at the north, the rigid triangular form of the male’s volume facing the street, contains the Iman’s and Mauthen’s dwelling, the office space and reading area. Together with the vertical anchoring of the minaret, the point up angled form symbolizes men’s strength and stability, allowing, North side with its irregular form, for the entrance of male users and the filtering of light. Towards the west, the Quibla wall dislocates its angle to face the prayer direction. It is both an element that demarcates the male’s space, and an autonomous piece generated from the women’s veil, that responds to the sacred direction of North theside prayer ritual. Through its displacement, light enters laterally, emphasizing the Mihrab as the physical embodiment of the Iman’s presence.

The mosque’s interior is an attempt to create a perfect celestial theater where the equilibrium between gender, space, light, material and structure, would reassemble the consummate world initially created by God. The main volumes of the mosque interact while maintaining their own materiality and structural composition. On the one hand, a curved metal structural grid composed of metal members, ITHRA-04 supports the women’s entry wall. On the other hand, a tectonic assemblage of concrete 8.0 m columns and tie beams infilled with concrete characterizes the male volume. The Eastblocks, side interstitial space between the ELEVATIO N Shall and the living quarters, demarcates prayer 1:150 the male main entrance space through an angled roof supported by a series of metal trusses that rest over two main beams. Concealing and blurring hegemonize the act of seeing as a uniform performance executed by all users. Through the filter of the ‘masharabia’ both, the women prayer space as well as Eastinside in the roof of the male prayer hall, the act of gazing ELEVATIO N Sbecomes a homogenous action that highlights the omnipresence of male, women 1:150 and God. From the ground, males observe the blurry actions of the female gender; from the top, women gaze at the male’s prayer space, and from the filtered panels of exterior GRC, God gazes at the communal prayer assembly and the body prostration of the congregation.

BLOCKS Independent Study Independent Study with Prof. Faysal Tabbarah Architectural Representation

Background

Space is usually described through a series of traditional architectural drawings such as plans, sections, elevations and sometimes through a perspective. If we accept Marshall Mcluhanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dictum that the medium is the message, where how we represent something to the outside world is directly related to the thing we are trying to describe, then we must question the relationship between drawing and space, built or simply drawn. This question is not new, but its intrinsic and age-old relationship to the history and development of architecture, especially over the last 50 years, does not mean that it is a question not worth pursuing. Recently, Perry Kulper has continued to push the limitations of architectural representations to create new types of landscapes. Where Liebeskind used distortion, Kulper employs layering and hybridization to create alternative relationships between buildings and landscapes. To use Mcluhanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dictum, the medium has long been the message in architecture, and the field of manipulating the traditional medium is still a ripe one for exploration.

Records show that as far back as the 12th century, several centers in thesouth, on the western and eastern coasts of India became renowned for theirexcellent printed cotton. On the southeastern coast the brush or kalam (pen)was used, and the resist applied by the same method. In the medieval ageprinting and dyeing of cottons was specially developed in Rajasthan. InGujarat the use of wooden blocks for printing was more common. Tents were made from printed fabrics and soon they became necessary partof royal processions. The seasons largely influenced the integration of thehighly creative processes of weaving, spinning, dyeing and printing. Festivalsalso dictated this activity. Block printing is a special form of printing firstdeveloped in China. The earliest known example with an actual date is a copyof the Diamond Sutra from 868 A.D (currently in the British Museum), though the practice of block printing is probably about two thousand years oldTrade in cotton cloth is said to have existed between India and Babylon fromBuddha’s time. Printed and woven cloths traveled to Indonesia, Malaya andthe Far East. In the 17th century, Surat was established as a prominent centerfor export of painted and printed calicos, covering an extensive range inquality. Cheaper printed cloth came from Ahmedabad and other centers, andstrangely enough Sanganer was not such a famous center for printing as it istoday. source: Thakur, Rajendra. “HISTORY OF BLOCK PRINTING IN INDIA.” Academia.edu.

BLOCKS

Research Proposal

This research proposal aims to utilize an ancient drawing technique that has not been fully explored in the production of space, namely, block printing. While they share some characteristics, block printing is radically different from traditional drawing methodologies in many ways, such as its inherent fuzziness, its predilection towards surface over lino cutting tools line, and its potential lack of precision. Therefore, the central question guiding this research proposal is: What types of spaces can be generated through block printing? At this moment, my assumptions are that these types of drawings will reject the contemporary fascination with lightness (visual and material) towards a more archaic sense of mass (visual and material). This is an avenue that will be further explored in the research.

Thikra Maritime Museum 4th Year Architecture Comprehensive Design with Prof. Igor Peraza In Jadaf, Dubai, United Arab Group member:Jumana Abbas

Thikra Museum or “Memory” Museum, elicits the timeline of UAE’S maritime history and highlights its country’s sea trading memories. The rippling facades of the museum reflects its location at Jadaf along Dubai’s waterfront, almost reaching out to the water like three boats settling on an ocean’s surface. The plan is formalized within thre primary zones that signify the past, present, and future or maritime memories, as its display describes the narrative of the UAE sea.

Maya Digital Modeling + 3D Printing

Coming into an imaginary site location, in the desert, a chosen client, a soap maker, resides in this vertical house/ work lab that provides a maliable stair entry fusing with the landscape. As well as a plantlike facade elements that join to form the spaces of the house. The approach of three levels and verticality of the structure is expressed using Maya to model the intuitive nature of this model. Resin 3D printing was used to provide the physical model aspect as shown on the right.

Evolo To w e r Competition Entry Cairo, Egypt G r o u p m e m b e r : Ghanem Younes

Modern cities nowadays have always distributed housing, hospitality and commercial architecture all around the city centers while completely isolating the industrial architecture component such as factories and wastelands far away from the center but rather at the outskirts of the city. Poorer areas in old Cairo such Mokatam, Madinat Nasr and so forth, have a huge areas of distributed wastelands that lacks latest recycling facilities, poor infrastructure and waste management that could help elevate their life standards. Our idea explores the formal and theoretical possibility of merging commercial+ hospitality architecture with industrial architecture into a continuous loop in order to achieve zero waste and to give back to the garbage collectors healthier working environments, efficient garbage collecting methods and more systematic means using latest technology in waste sorting and recycling for the betterment of society and improvement of social and economic standards of their neighborhood to be waste free.

Stalactite from the Greek stalasso, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to dripâ&#x20AC;? a tapering structure hanging like an icicle from the roof of a cave, formed of calcium salts deposited by dripping water. The IL76 abandoned plane in Umm al Quwain, like many strange and unexplained landmark accross the country , has been used as an artist meeting point. The airplane as our focal point, will be surrounded by three main zones: The Contemplation Zone, the Theatre, and the Cave like experience. The three areas will be dened through articulated enclosed surfaces , and aggregated with several components, shaped by their functionalities. Stalactite installation, a digital experimental pavilion, is created to revive and reform the abandoned site while creating a cave inspired monument.

Urban Design and Architetcure Working currently in the urban design department as an architect and urban designer, I am exposed to a range of projects that are located in multiple locations in the region. Utilizing architectural design and urban perspective is an interesting process to be able to see things on two primary scales. Conducting urban principles and translating them into visions to be presented to a wide range of clients is beneficial to widening my perspective on what it takes to plan a community or public realm.
