Architecture Portfolio 2023

ABOUT

A fresh architecture graduate who is committed to personal growth and is always looking for opportunities that would help me build a successful lever for myself.

Being an architect, aligns with many of my personal goals and values which helps me fulfill my role in making the world a better place for the people who are already suffering enough. I’m hungry for knowledge and I’m always willing to learn because I personally believe that the day you stop learning is the day you start moving backwards, therefore, I enjoy getting very involved in every stage of the design process from conceptualizing to drafting to visualizing and finally realizing the project.

You are always a student, never a master

This project was design during the fifth academic year 20222023 as my graduation project and was supervised by Dr. Yasmein Okour.

PROJECT BRIEF

Ghor As-Safi is located in Al-Karak governorate, south of Jordan and is one of the most important agricultural areas in Jordan due to its climatic nature that enables the cultivation of produce many countries cannot grow. Despite this, 40.8% of residents in Ghor As-Safi live in extreme poverty and suffer from harsh living conditions.

02 School of Architecture and Design

This project was designed during the second semester of the third academic year 2020-2021 as a part of the course ARCH312- Architectural Design (4) and was supervised by professor Natheer Abu-Obeid.

CONCEPT

The project is called “Campus:Creativity Hub” and it focuses on bridging the gap between the academic and social life of the students by integrating them in the community. It will act as an active hub for inciting students’ creativity and as a social gathering space for the surrounding community.

Second Chance: Lagos Plastic City

This project was designed for the Architecture Competiotion LAGOS: PLASTIC CITY by Voen Foundations, the theme of the competition focuses on the issue of plastic pollution which is an issue in various megacities, including Lagos.

CONCEPT

Lagos faces severe plastic pollution and escalating youth crime. This youth house project targets UN SDGs like Gender Equality, Responsible Consumption, and Life Below Water. The design promotes gender equality through symmetry, incorporates recycled plastic in windows, louvers, and walls, and includes a plastic waste collection system. The project aims to engage jobless youth in recycling plastic waste, fostering societal contribution, environmental protection, and livelihoods.

This project was designed during the first semester of the fourth academic year 2020-2021 as a part of the course ARCH312Architectural Design (4) and was supervised by Dr. Nermeen Dalgamoni.

CONCEPT

This proposal is a continuation of our philosophy and goal of improving the public health of the community and their quality of life. There is no doubt that sports and health go hand in hand; therefore, the aim of this project was to create an environment where there’s a little something for everyone, whether it’s fitness classes, afterschool programs, or entertainment.

This project was a collaboration with Aleksander Hatala from Poland and was designed in for the Tamayouz Design Challenge: 2020 Memorial.

CONCEPT

In 2020, an unexpected turn of events threw everyone off balance, and all of a sudden, we had to recalibrate to adjust to this new normal.

This monument, located in Park Sempione, in the heart of the Italian city most affected by this pandemic, Milano, is in fact just like 2020, seemingly unified at times yet interrupted and uneven due to the events that took place. The cut and change of form allude to the change of times in which we now function.
