01 SPACELESSA CARMALL DESIGN WITHIN A SOCIAL HUB
Spaceless is a design aimed to solve the problem of the “no parking available* issue in
the busy area of ‘Abu Shagara’ by creating a carmall on site that allows for the buy/sell
industry of cars to function better, as well as creating a breathe in the area through the
opportunity of designing green spaces and plazas for the low income people living and
working on site. This is done through designing various funnel-like forms that
encompass different activities at different levels for the public.
Area: 300 X 60m
Height limit: 25m

02 FUTURISTIC CITYFUTURE MANIFESTAION THROUGH IMAGINATION
In reponse to project objectives, design aimed to
visualize self sufficient settlements in the future
dealing with the given site. Scenario starts by
capture of energy from the sun-infinite source,
energy flows to receptors on top , where processing
and distribution happens, energy is then transfered
to higher levels where consumption relies on
demand and the energy flows through out the city
through an advanced mechanism, such flow also
responds to future time lapse as well. Aesthetically,
the city mainly relies on a bimorphic growth and
mutational changes.

LIVE/WORK
04 LIVE/WORKA DESIGN ENHANCING LIVING AND WORKING TOGETHER
BRIEFThe aim of this project was
to design a hearth in a
spaceous desert that would
act as temporary shelter for
passerbys or those in need of
help.
There was no specific
program except that the
design is to be one storey
high and 20m in length max
, also for a need of 2
permeable entires.
This was a two-phased
project, this was the first
phase through formal
tectonic explorations, the
second phase was to design a
studio for an artist where
he/she could live and work
at the same time.
BRIEFThis is the second phase of the project, where the
formal aspects of phase one have to be reflected upon
for further detailing, only through incorporating
program after developing form, hence program fits
form.

05 COMMISSIONED WORK-WINNING PROPOSALS FOR REAL ESTATE IN DUBAI
BRIEFA competition in Dubai was held to find a
fair proposal for a ferry station that would
portray both the vernacular aspects of
Dubai and the modernised boom of era of
Dubai today, the ferry station was to be
replicated many times through out UAE
just like the metrostations.
This ferry station in particular was situated
in Dubai downtown overlooking the sea
where across one could see the oldest
heritage area in Dubai-Alkhor
Program: to be an iconic design
to have a tower included

Global village in Dubai which is a
dynamic cultural hub on its own ,
the project itself though aims to
reflect the Latin American culture
in UAE with its wooden curvature
that opens up in a welcoming
gesture to visitors.

BRIEFThe objectives of this project were to start with a simple geomtry
that would evolute into complexity after several studies, hence
creating a unit , which then would be used in a manner of
replication to create a fashionistic wrap that crawls over the
human body.
BRIEFUsing new technologies and the knowledge of
programs such as grasshopper , a team of 12 people
was able to use the robotic arm to create a
configurated formula on grasshopper that would
creat a real time assembling procedure of a
brickwall.
Program: height: 1.2m
