While architecture should compliment its time, it should also thrive for timelessness. As architecture outlives its creator and will forever be part of this evolutionary world. -Shaden Kalouti

Urban Sustainable Regeneration Al Nasserya - Critics Award at the International Seminar and Award for Architecture and Urban Culture - Camerino 2020 - Honorable mention at the World Design Award 2020

Description The proposal seeks to solve specific problems related to the northeastern district of the site such as, overcrowded housing, lack of public spaces, and the lack of pedestrian sidewalks and bike lanes, etc. The scheme consists of 3 projects, 2 of which are the short-term accommodation center and the community center. Both serve as anchors that brings people into the site. The rest of the site consists of a series of buildings affordable housing, retail, civic related functions, that are arranged around open space, which are connected by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sikkas.â&#x20AC;?

Illustration and Rendering Description The course focuses on exploring different approaches of visual illustrations and digital experimentation using various advanced digital modeling techniques such as Maya, Grasshoper, Zbrush, Rhino, keyshot, Photoshop and Houdini. The main focus was to create a hybrid between different objects through modelling and collaging.

Instructed by Professor George Katodrytis ARC 311 || Fall 2018

Timber In The City Competition Entry Description Located In Queens, New York, The site given overlooks the east river, with views to Roosevelt Island and Manhattan. The Project seeks to explore a mid-rise, mixed use complex that includes affordable housing, Community wellness facility and an early childhood education center, all interlaced with a new exterior public waterfront space. The project consists of five buildings of identical footprint but varies in height to maximize the views. A biophilic communal level is located in every building and are connected through a bridge system. The underground day center is the most interesting nature engaging part of the project, as all classes are exposed to open planted courtyards or skylights. Moreover, an intensive green roof system is applied on the buildings to contribute to minimizing solar absorption and hence increase sustainability Instructed by Professor Roberto Castillo Collaboration with Shereen Khafagy ARC 402 || Spring 2019

Spacial ConstructUrban Mosque Description To design an urbanly daily mosque and a public space along al khan, sharjah. This project is meant to enhance the urban life in the area , provide a space for the prayers and reflections as well as promote the culture of the region. The approach to this project was through a material study, using 3d scanning, the resulted form was then rationalized and translated into architectural form. Being fascinated by the form of the natural caves, the intention was to capture a cave-like interior that can further enhance a spiritual feeling, while maintain a clean, orthogonal exterior that compliments the site.

Instructed by Professor Faysal Tabbarah ARC 302 || Spring 2018

Vector Active SystemsPhysical Construct Description To develop a good understanding of structural elements by Introducing the classification and behavior of structural elements and systems most relevant to the design of architecture. The course covered topics that discussed the fundamentals of structural analysis, types and classifications of structural dynamics, properties and performance capacity of the primary building materials, and structural elements.

Thick skins: Performative Rooftops Pavilion Proposal for ARADA in Al Jada Description Inspired by the Vernacular architecture, the studio aims to discover methods of passive cooling by exploring different designs of performative rooftops. The project tries to create a hybrid between vernacular and contemporary architecture, in this case, the vernacular Musgum Huts in Niger where studied, reinterpreted and adjusted to the climate of the U.A.E. Strategies of construction, materiality as well as structure were formulated to produce a site specific design.

Instructed by Professor Jason Carlow ARC 401 || Fall 2018

Vernacular Musgum Huts The Musgum people used the form of the termite hill for their houses. The form was rationalized into a clean arch, the catenary arch. They used biodegradable materials to make the mixture of the mud, such as water, straw, animals waste and clay. Therefore, when the house collapses it returns back to the earth without any chaos. The thick mud walls make the surface less penetrative for the heat. The use of thick clay walls keeps the house cool.

Linear Site (Iteration 1) While analyzing the earthen Musgum Huts in Niger, the pattern was the focus of the research. The pattern is consist of protruding bumps that provides social, structural and environmental benefits. In the first iteration, the pattern was reinterpreted as perforations that would allow sunlight and wind to pass through.

Large Span (Iteration 2) Continuing with the research, in the second iteration the form was inverted and adjusted to in order to explore a large span condition. Lighter materials such as fabric and plastic were used and the pattern was interpreted as an additive element rather than subtractive.

Al Jada Site (Iteration 3) The patterned marks were reinterpreted as perforations that would sun-light and allow wind to pass through the structure. Perforation size and proximity were adjusted to provide increased open areas for prevailing winds and constrained to shade from sunlight. The overall structure was designed as a fabric cast, concrete form that would be hung upside down when cast to anticipate and resist vertical structural loads when installed

Land Operations: Sheepscaping for Happy Sheep Description The project explores a cultural history in the Moroccan carpets industry. Taking the wool production potential into consideration, the project aims to establish an industry that is based on the conversion of fleece to fabric, where wool from the sheep will be extracted, manufactured and then dyed to produce Moroccan carpets. The project is aiming to create a solution that will create a self-funding operation. This type of funding model is looking to integrate strong socio-economic business models with novel spatial and material solutions to produces a culturally nuanced and environmentally sustainable project. Therefore, this project is meant to enhance the socio-economic situation in the area, with emphasis on both the human and natural element, by providing job opportunities, a source of continuous income to fund the agricultural research, as well as promote the spatial and material culture of the region in the face of ongoing environmental orientalism.
