Supervisor: Dr. Awatif Alsharif

Duration of Work: Sep.2013 – Nov. 2013

Grade obtained: A++ (88 / 100).

Software used:

Sketchup (Modeling) – VRay (Rendering) – Photoshop (Post Production)


Pictures shown above demonstrate the manual visualization which was used to illustrate the projects plans, what can be seen clearly the extent to which

all functions (accommodation, entertainment and social exhibitions) are integrated, and the accessibility in which all those functions are oriented.

Another aspect must be taken into consideration is that vertical circulation has added a new dimension in terms of function graduation which assures the

diversity that is required for such kind of projects.

Picture shown above illustrates a longitetiual and cross section for the

entire project, the steel frames structure was used mainly in order to

occupy the high-span spaces within the project and also to represents

the diversity within complexity.

Pictures shown here illustrate the main elevations, the pictures

shown above are representing the final façades which were

based on drawing that is adjacent to the text.

What can be seen clearly is that continuity in straight lines,

dynamics of masses which outlines the variety between solids

and voids, and dominancy of opening to sustain the interaction

between indoor and outdoor were the key points in these

facades by using red and both hue and light brown to make such

a harmony.

Pictures shown here illustrate the final images for this design. Those images

were chosen particularly in order to demonstrate the main features of

masses in a professional manner and to simulate the design in the real time

with the accurate materials, finishes and environment

The software that were used are: Sketchup (for modeling), VRay engine (for

rendering) and Photoshop (for post-production).

Such professional way of rendering has revealed the aesthetic features of

masses that were used within the design as a whole, where integration

between straight lines and transparent elements are assuring the harmony

in playing with solids and voids within elevations, besides the way that

exterior spaces are arranged as it shown in the shot to the right, while the

other shots that shown at the bottom are focusing mainly on highlighting

the cantilevers which were located at the end of main mass to represent

the dynamism and continuity of this design, in addition to this it also

highlight the main courtyard in which all masses are gathered and

surrounded.

-Project name: Khartoum Stock Exchange Market Headquarter.

-Owner: Ministry of Finance and National Economy.

-Total built area: 11.466 square meters.

-Total floors number: 20

-Total Height: 85 meters.

Location Description

The project is located at Almogran Central Business District (Almogran

CBD) on the junction between Blue and White Nile. The total area of the

proposed site is estimated nearly to 13.000 square meters.

Almogran CBD was carefully master planned to act as an Eastern Africa's

modern business hub with all prime commercial and real estate's facilities to

create a dynamic and livable business environment, all of which has come

together in one place along with the spectacular view of the two Niles.

Diagrams that shown to the left is representing the main functional

components, while the other diagrams that shown above are representing

both the equivalent proportions of spaces besides the vertical zoning of

the administrative components which were organized basically in

accordance to the interaction with clients into two categories, (General

Admins) which were located close to the lowest floors and (Specific

Admins) which were located in the upper floors, all of which were shifted

by two features, one of which is (Roof Garden) the last point where public

and unspecified client can reach, and the other one is (Panoramic

Restaurant) at the top of the building in which main sequences of functions

has transformed totally to a luxiours point which has a spectacular view

Design concept

The main slogan of this project was (launch a powerful and safety stock exchange

market in Sudan by minimizing the potential risks in which all benefits and revenues

can be oriented towards the national economy).

So according to what have been mentioned above we can actualize that statement

with the following diagrams which was the base in which main masses are formed.

Ng

Secondly, we can capture the main feature of this project which are users, who

they are physically and where they go functionally according to the diagram that

shown above to the left.

Then, the rigidity of such an

administrative building was broken

with some curved lines which were

inspired originally from site curved

edges, and at the same time to

highlight the main entrance.

Finally, functions are being fitted accurately within the proposed site as it

shown in the picture above, besides some ideas related to the motion of

stock exchange curser that are shown above to the right which were the

base in which elevation formation was processed.


KHARTOUM STOCK EXCHANGE MARKET

Picture shown above illustrates the site plan of this projects which was

drawn manually by using 0.5 and 0.1 fine ink pens with faber castle colors

pencils. What stands out is the aesthetic impression of using manual

visualization which shows the exact idea as it should be.

Picture shown above illustrates the ground floor plan of the project. What

stands out from that the alternative entrances which were dedicated precisely

according to the users and the way in which all commercial, services and

administrative sequences are arranged to achieve the desired concept

Picture shown above illustrates the typical floor plans of the project, where

main functions as main exchange hall and the administrative offices are located.

What can be noticed is that a specific space in every single floor was dedicated

to act as a sustainable and communication area between employers.

Picture that shown to the left

demonstrates the basement

floor plan, where vertical

isolation between circulation

was applied in which one of

those basement was

dedicated to act as a cars

parking, while the other was

for technical functions.

Pictures that shown to

the left illustrate both

longitetual and cross

sections within the

whole building. What

can be seen clearly is

that the structural

reinforced concrete

system was used as a

main structural system

along with space frame

roof with glass panels at

the top of the podium,

to occupy the main

exchange hall as it

shown in the following

diagram.

Diagrams shown below illustrate the sustainable features within the projects which

are integration between mechanical and natural air condition, double glazing façade,

automatic shading devices and using solar panels as a additional source of power.

KHARTOUM STOCK EXCHANGE MARKET

Pictures shown here demonstrate the final design of

elevation after being simulated and rendered by VRay

engine according to the manual visualization that shown

above. What stands out from those shots is the sense of

greatness and safety by using rigid shapes which were

sustained organically with that curvy podium.

Picture shown above illustrates the interior design for public exchange hall, the

idea behind using bright colors to sustain the sense of competition between

exchange agencies and targeted clients

Pictures shown above demonstrate sketches that were used in elevation and masses

formation was rendered with wireframe and shadows style in order to actualize the impact of

such formation upon the original mass and the extent to which has this formation integrated

with exterior landscape features. In addition to that, pictures that shown to the right illustrate

the final model of the project.

INTERIOR DESIGN SAMPLES

Individual practice in modeling, texturing, illuminating and rendering interior scenes.

Software were used: Sketchup + VRay + Photoshop.

A sample of modern master bedroom which was modeled by Sketchup and rendered by VRay engine. The

main concept rely on simplicity in collecting furniture, using a combination of wood texture at floor and

fabric on the wall and using blue cushions to act as a concentrating feature in the scene. In addition to

that, diversity in illuminating elements has effected the way of revealing objects in the scene as well as

invisible light within the roof, spotlights and natural illumination through windows.

PROFESSIONAL DESIGNS

Scope of work is to expand the individual knowledge of digital visualization techniques particularly in

residential buildings designs. All scenes are modeled by Sketchup and rendered by VRay with Photoshop

in post-production. Owners of those buildings are looking for prestigious and well-designed products in

which either inner or outer environment are inevitably compatible. One of those designs has won an

interactive competition on Facebook which was run by (Google Sketchup community fan page).
