project: ruminating montrealmarket: art/ installtion

client: mcgill universityyear: 2011
status: completed
keep your back straight, just follow the map.there is no proper etiquette.there is no proper representation of the city. the map is false.a picnic is informal. it negates proper etiquitte.an investigation in bodily postures, this project is centered around the informailty integral to the picnic event. different elements of the surround-ings become props for this event. a sidewalk, stairs, railings, patches of grass, a rock, benches, tables, chairs.downtown montreal is mapped out and enframed by the different postures assumed throughout the city. a camera was attached to my chest, shoul-der and knee, literally framing the surroundings according to the major parts of the body consti-tuting the variety of postures. two chairs were constructed to allow for the framing of the city through one’s own posture, and that of his partner during the picnic.the basic mechanism of the chair allows for the exploration of different postures. it attempts to emulate the ones we are familiar with, and allows for a multiplicity of appropriations the user may explore.
Entitled ‘Ruminating Montreal’ this project was aimed at developing a tactile understanding of the city as opposed to the commonplace visual un-derstanding. The city of montreal is interpreted through the ephemeral event of a picnic and the objects related to it. rather than a map, which serves as an abstract representation of the city, this project attempts to address our immediate ex-perience of the public spaces of the city.

project: dodecahedron installationmarket: art/ installation
location: amira park, al nuzha, jeddah, ksaprogram: interactive play structure
client: friends of jeddah parksyear: 2013
status: pending sponsorship
Upon visiting both Ameera and Faisal Zahid Park we felt that it was part of our responsibility as local architects to engage with FJP to provide a safe, healthy, and positive impact on these devas-tated areas of the city.
After studying Ameera Park we have proposed to construct a sculpture that would serve as a monu-ment to the area. This initiative was part of our wider strategy to establish a cultural identity for the park. This structure would be used in var-ious ways by the public as well as enticing local artists and architects to visit the artwork; in return this may become a melting pot for designers and urban planners alike to further contribute in enhancing the area even more.

Physical Engagement (function+experience+in-
tellect)
A brief analysis of monuments, sculptures, and similar park facilities has revealed a complex relationship between form and user. 3 varying degrees of engagement were synthesized:
A SINGLE DODECAHEDRON THREE INTERCONNECTEDDODECAHEDRONS SHOWINGTHE NATURE OF CONNECTIONS
EDGE = 1 M EDGE = 60 CM EDGE = 30 CM
Building on the organization’s socio-philanthropic agenda with its emphasis on creating a node for social exchange and communal activity, the design sought a structural and programmatic principle which can achieve corresponding levels of flexibility and engagement, and become an emblem for the ideals which the park, its organizers, and users hold.
“The people want the buildings that represent their social and community life to give more than functional fulfillment, They want their aspiration for monumentality, joy, pride, and excitement to be satisfied,”-Sert, Gideon, and Leger. Nine Points on Monumentality.
The Dodecahedron, a geometric solid of 12 faces, 20 vertices, and 30 edges was chosen as a principle building block for the structure for its simple, flexible, and aesthetic qualities. The simplicity of its structural principle allows for an agile system able to adapt to A variety of formal exercises.
A CHAIN OF SINGLE DODECAHEDRONS
The versatile form of the dodecahedron structure allows for endless possibilities
Passive Engagement (schism between
observer/artwork: a strictly intellectual
process)
Spatial Engagement (architectural space: an
experiential process)
The modular geometry is flexible, it is highly respon-sive to formal adaptations according to users’
needs

client: comuna co.year: 2014
status: under construction
Medd cafe and roastery is a the result of a communal effort to create a localized space for the roasting and brewing of coffee. With over 12 partners, this group of people is running this establishment as a community, and aim to extend this model to its patrons. As such, the challenge was to integrate the differnet com-ponents of this operation (service, roasting,
cupping, storage, seating) into a single entity which captures the core communal values relat-
ing to coffee production and consumption.

project: mubadara residence 1market: residential

year: 2014status: under construction
Mubadara is a start-up development office with a desire to penetrate the real estate market with a fresh product.
With development booming in Jeddah, small scale apartment blocks have been springing up on every corner of the city. The classical paradigm for design has been thoroughly exhausted, and a con-temporary approach would readily stand out. As such, the design of this typical apartment block utilizes the subtle marriage of glass, wood, and stucco to achieve a simple contemporary building envelope, with bright spacious interiors.
The apartment block consists of 6 typical apart-ments (3 on each floor) and 2 penthouse apartments spanning two floors.

Qortoba Oasis Compound is a major high-end resi-dential development located on the outskirts of the capital city of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. The core of the project consists of multiple villa types, apartment blocks, and on-site facilities.
The Qortuba Oasis Mosque is located on the cor-ner of the residential development, directly on Ath Thumamah Road. In harmony with the general aesthetic of the development, the mosque aims to establish a contemporary identity for this Islamic religious space.
The design consists of a prayer hall for 500 people (men and women), ablution areas, wash-rooms, and a fully equipped duplex for the Imam and Moathin. Woven with gardens, palms, and water, these elements come together to create an immer-sive meditative environment.

The King Saud University Deanship Building groups together various faculty deanships and a central data center, one of the largest in the region, serving the entire campus.
Each deanship consists of mostly office spaces, and is independant operationally with separate ser-vice cores. The building complex was designed as a series of autonomous cuboids that are grouped together around a single central court. This court acts as a public node for students as it is di-rectly connected to the university’s main pedes-trian spine.
The architectural language of this project is a reinterpretation of the current 1970’s precast concrete system which prevails across the campus.

Al Khandaq National Schools has been a leader in private education in Al Madinah in the past couple of years. After numerous awards from the Minis-try of Education, and increasing student demand, the school has decided to expand and recreate its identity.
The complex includes educational facilities from preschool to highschool, for girls and boys. The result is a semi-modular building for each educa-tional category, grouped around a shared gymnasium and multiple sports fields.
To imbue each building with a distinct identity, a colour coding system of primary/secondary colours was applied to particular architectonic details.

The Special Needs Children Center is a centralized facility that provides educational, rehabilitation and healthcare for children with special needs in Yanbu. This includes classrooms, clinic, physio-therapy center, specialized activity rooms, and a central amphitheatre space.
Major circulation spines diverge from a central congregation space and are covered with undulat-ing green roofs to create a varying sense of scale according to each function/activity. The fluid ar-rangement of these masses creates an enclosed cen-tral courtyard. Classrooms clusters branch out of each main spine and each caters for a particular age group.

The location of this medical center is on the out-skirts of Casablanca, in a nearby suburb named Bouskoura.
Outlooking the vallies of the site, the building masses protrude to maximize on views, and provide patients with a space for meditation and recovery.
Like the school and mosque in the islamic tradi-tion, hospitals too were highly regarded as one of the city’s major public nodes. The architectural language was based on the intricacy of mosaic work prevalent in Morocco. Taken as an abstraction of Islamic patterns found in hasan al thani mosque and the ben yousef medrasa, the facades are clad in a pixelized interpretation of these patterns.

The Riyadh Hospital is a medical center in the heart of the Saudi capital. Designed for 500 beds, this hospital will provide healthcare services for residents of the central region. It will also become one of the major cardiology centers in the country.
Taking the chromosome as a metaphor, the building mass is split into two shifting forms, hence maxi-mizing on views and creating canopies along the entrances.
The facade of the building takes the second stage of the evolution of the chromosome as a metaphor, DNA. DNA testing patterns were studied and rein-terpreted as glazing panels of varying heights and degrees of transperency.

status: student work
The United Nations is in need of a building that will accommodate all UN delegate members and their respective parties in order to avoid a fragmentation and hierarchy of consulates scattered throughout the city. The idea of ONE building for all delegates on international soil is unquestionably utopic, and therefore requires an architectural language that will embody this utopia within the confines of a real democratic—albeit bureaucratic—institution. It is for this reason that the building takes the form of a sphere.

Located on King Fahad Road in Riyadh, a few blocks away from Al Faisaliah and The Kingdom Towers, the Riyadh Tower project assumes an iconic position from its inception.
Designed to house a luxery hotel, serviced apart-ments, and high end office spaces,this tower would trump its predecessors in height, and establish a presence along the capital’s growing skyline.
Taking queues from local patterns, the main body of the tower is studded with daylight controlling frits. Incisions in the massing provide program-matic relief in this densly packed tower, and act as green pockets overlooking the city.

client: supreme commission for tourism andantiquities/ makkah municipality
year: 2012 - 2014status: under development
One of the most historically significant sites in Islam, Jabal Al Nour, a few kilometers away from the holy mosque in Makkah, is where the Quran is said to have first descended. Currently, the area around the mountain is poorly planned. With urban encroachment on the rise, the Makkah Municipal-ity has taken action by assigning the mountain the status of a natural preserve.
The Jabal Al Nour project is a complex masterplan-ning endeavor, where culture, ecology, religion, and urban regeneration intersect. As such the pro-gram for this project includes the following:
-Linear Pedestrian Park ribbon, determining the boundary of the preserve.-Cultural Center for the Quran, and the life of the prophet pbuh.-Escalator path to the Cave, with rest stops.-Facilities for the collection of rainwater to feed the Zamzam aquifier.-Urban regeneration strategies for the informal settlement (parks, schools).-Local Crafts Center.-Mixed Use commercial development as an endowment for the project.

status: under development
With an exponentially increasing number of stu-dents, Al Baha University is due for major expan-sion and development. To cater for the scattered villages of this mountainous region, the program of this project was developed as a modular typol-ogy which can be rearranged for each particular site. As the landscapes vary, the same architec-ture frames each location differently.
The first three sites for development are:-Al Makhwah-Al Mandaq-Baljurashi
Each facility is completely independent from the main university campus and consists of the follow-ing:
-Academic Buildings (Classrooms, Auditoriums, Laboratories, Faculty Offices)-Administration-Cafeteria-Student Services-Library-Student Housing-Faculty Housing-Sports Hall
The morphology of form utilized for the academic units allows for their arrangment into intimate, more private courtyards. The public buildings however, are more linear in form, and allow for the establishment of larger open spaces for the public.

الوحدة االكاد�ية:
تجاوباً مع متطلبات املرشوع التي تقتيض ايجاد حلول تصميمية تنطبق عىل
مواقع مختلفة ذات احتياجات متفاوتة (سواء يف اعداد الطالبات, او توزيعهم
عىل التخصصات املختلفة), فقد تم تحليل الربامج الوظيفية للمواقع الثالثة و
من ثم استخالص وحدة اكاد�ية تسمح بالتغي± يف املحتوى (عدد االدوار, طبيعة
االستخدام) مع الحفاظ عىل الطابع و املخطط املع¸ري.
النموذج األكاد�ي:
بعد تحديد املحتوى الوظيفي للوحدات االكاد�ية, تم ادراج كل وحدة تحت
Àوذج تصميمي. يختلف كل Àوذج عن اآلخر من حيث السعة الطالبية و
االحتياجات الوظيفية. توفر هذة الن¸ذج مرونة يف التوزيع, و القدرة عىل
املواءمة يف عدة مواقع مختلفة.
