“setting is more than scene in works of art ... it is often the armature around which the work revolves.�
JOHN R. STILGOE
[WHO DO WE DESIGN FOR?] Since post-industrial revolution, design has been influenced by the machine, which has created a gap in the structure of society. This has lead to a very individualized culture lacking the daily engagement to become a collective society. Let us start again and become a united nation.
A
t one point in time, humans used to live harmoniously within the environment in which they dwelled, but a shift in per-
spective changed the thought process from living within nature to changing nature to how humans live. However, instead of coming together to ease the consumption of resources, the anomaly in human pattern tends to be to separate from one another, which has lead to suburban sprawl and the dependence of the automobile.

FORM BIAS Arched bias to main member forcing outward deformation
The essence of glue lamination is to take large dimensional lumber and cut it into smaller pieces in order to form a single, strong, structural beam, which creates a new geometry in response to the vector forces and moment occurring. Following this ethic of purity of materials, raw hide is used for moments of tension due to its natural elastic quality when wet, which allows for ease of fabrication. As the rawhide dries, it strongly tightens up, which in turn strengthens the wood from breaking by taking a share of the tension.

Mutual relationship is created by reconnecting people to the environment and a range of daily activities. In doing so, nature is introduced into the daily lives of citizens creating a strong ecological relationship amongst the people, the natural environment, and the systems facilitating this interaction. Positive ecological affect is the product of people in the community caring for the environment due to an added understanding of ecology and the benefits that can be achieved by designing for reciprocal interaction amongst humans, habitation, and the environment. Our community is designed to restore permeability by preserving the underlying hydrology of the landscape to inhibit groundwater recharge. Each home is positioned along natural drainage networks rather than simply covering those features. Architecturally, the community embodies aspects of permeability with the spatial arrangement encouraging the natural elements and human circulation to pass through. Bridges across the Rillito River and Oracle Road create landscape permeability that reconnects to the adjacent communities. The design also focuses on transforming the under utilized parking lots into an incubator of social capital. Rather than thinking of density as the number of people per acre, instead the concept is to consider density as the amount of social interactions per acre. professors: collaborator:

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE By providing Cultural Community Centers in the neighborhood, residents learn about sustainable living. The space serves as a gathering area to disseminate the rich diversity of knowledge held by those in the community. The lower area serves as a public plaza in which events such as Farmers Markets are possible.

URBAN LIVING The mixed use development adopts the concept of the courtyard design, but with the stacking effect seen in other arid environments where by shifting the modules, the space opens up to the natural elements for ventilation and view sheds. By taking this concept and rotating the end axis of each module, the interior courtyard is further shading the user in the space below.
AFFORDABLE LIVING The primary concept of the affordable housing is to provide the community with a social amenity in the form of an inner green belt. This link of the natural environment, from the ground to the garden roof terrace, provides occasion for social activities between residents of the building and those passing through.

4TH YEAR BUILDING TECHNOLOGY
Form-resistant structures are capable of spanning long spans with minimal material. Form-resistant structures resist loads through their geometry rather than through large amounts of material. When properly shaped, form-resistant structures can be made much thinner than conventional concrete slab and beam systems. Shell structures are surfaces with complex curvature, curvature in both directions that distributes loads throughout the surface by means of membrane stresses. The intent of this exploration is to create a thin-shell concrete structure with a minimal approach. As such, cloth is used as the primary formwork with the catenary approach to using natural forces in the fabrication process. professor: team:

AL HAMRIYA | VOCATIONAL SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL STUDIO B.ARCH WORKS
[COLLABORATED WITH TEJIDO GROUP + MUSCAT MUNICIPALITY] LOCATION: MUSCAT, OMAN
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL a prototype model for low income sustainable urban living
HONORS DESIGN STUDIO
The proposal for the old souk is to convert the inner core into a vocational school for the workers within the community. This need for education stands to reason as the workers learn new skills to be employed towards the re-development of Al Hamriya. The ethic of the architecture and the landscape is to serve as an example to both the community and students of how creative ideas can come out of low-tech methods. The school creates a learning environment full of opportunity of understanding even by sitting and observing. The innovative use of gabion walls, re-interpreted use of the mashrabiya screen, and an infusion of native plant-life supported by the living machine and rainwater harvesting are but a few examples of on-site sustainable strategies. Conceptual Rules of Development: • Creative design by low tech methods • Educate and inspire • Shelter from harsh environment professor:
Mark Frederickson [Tejido Group]
CONNECTIVE TISSUE Being that the focus area is at a crucial intersection in the Al Hamriya area, it is vital to establish the important circulation routes to the adjacent sites all around. The basic concept of the circulation is based on the notion of compression and release. The visitor is compressed in areas where movement is encouraged and then released into various courtyard spaces in which the combination of landscape and various shading strategies protect the person from the harsh desert environment.
SIMPLE AND MEANINGFUL Using a simple strategy of hollow tube steel and composite textile fabric, the central plaza area is covered by a light interpretation of the arcade. By use of the form, the sensation of movement is encouraged while at the same time protecting those whom pause to relax in the space below. Additionally, the interior funnel of the canopies provide a secondary purpose of rainwater harvesting, which supports the plant-life below. This unique plaza of shade and landscape becomes an intimate social opportunity for all the workers, students, and families of Al Hamriya.

native vegetation planters (supported by living machine or rainwater harvesting) seating of earthen materials (gabion, rammed earth, adobe, stone masonry)
A RUSTICATED ENVIRONMENT Keeping with the notion of the vernacular, the material choice of the vocational school is primarily of stone. However, instead of creating a traditional stone wall, the modern method of gabion walls are used as low-tech affordable method of development. This material palette is sustainable, as the infill stones are taking advantage of the waste rubble at the excavation sites of the new worker housing and urban agriculture along the periphery of valley edge.

C Cross bracing for lateral stability
Buildings are potentially subject to lateral forces from wind and earthquakes. These are dynamic forces which can change rapidly in magnitude and direction. These forces are most significant for buildings that are tall relative to the dimensions of their footprint. The purpose is to design a structural system for a tower as a rational response to lateral forces. Traditionally, lateral stability is added to the long axis, as this area is more susceptible to flexure. However, the intent of our design explored the opposite by providing necessary structure in the form of a horizontal triangular belt along the short axis creating a visual freedom through the structure.

CAPSTONE DESIGN STUDIO ENTRY + PUBLIC FACILITIES
In architecture, there is this need for form to respond to the influences of connectivity. From the Western school of thought, society understands the world as being defined by boundaries, which serve as the containers of space. However, one cannot contemplate separation without the notion of connections. A network establishes a link of pathways which enable the flow between boundaries. At the same time, our freedom of connectivity is in contrast with the actions of constraint and control in our environment. In the moment of failure of these networks, like traffic jams or a severed internet connection, our world becomes restrained by a new barrier. This belief leads to a new understanding of role reversal from barriers defining space to the links serving as the identity of form. In order to protect the existing church ruin, the main gesture is the large roof, which serves as the new datum for the museum. Additionally, the roof: - shelters the visitor from the harsh environment - slows down the decay process - becomes the facilitator of movement & connectivity into the Abbey

[URBAN EXPERIENCES] To continue the language of nature reclaiming the land, the northwestern wall is removed to allow public access through the site and into the interior courtyard garden. The main entry into the museum begins to the north east, where the land begins to undulate, creating an experiential urban stage, which in turn is possible due to the shade provided by the protective roof
