ABSTRACT :
With the increasing destruction of our natural
environment, and with the realization that we ultimately
depend upon this environment, my thesis explores
the role of Architecture in designing the built
environment to be harmonious with the natural one.
How can Architecture be a teaching tool for the natural
and built environments? Through the design of The
Sun School for Environmental studies involving the
integration of a building’s site, photovoltaic technology,
daylighting, and natural ventilation, how can
Architecture encourage a building to teach about
itself? How can a building respond to its occupants,
and to sun, wind, daylight and temperature? How can
Architecture encourage the occupants to interact with
the building, learn about it, respond to it, and
consequently to increase their awareness of it?

Title : Between Auto(mobile) and Building A Study of Pedestrian Oriented Parking Lots

Degree : Master of Architecture

Department : Architecture

Date of Defense 2006-08-01

: Abstract

The automobile is undeniably an icon of our modern era. Decades of accommodating the automobile have dramatically transformed the shape and the quality of our physical environment. The typical suburban retail parking lot is one symptom of our automobile dependence.

Frequently the proposed solutions to sprawl development tend to minimize the economic and marketing appeal of a large surface parking lot. For many communities, the anticipated economic benefit and convenience of a suburban retail development overcomes any reservations about the appearance and effect of the associated sea of asphalt. A more achievable design goal might be a pedestrian-oriented parking lot. Is that feasible? What present and future advantages might be gained? What would it be like?

This thesis studies the typical commercial surface parking lot through observation and analysis, leading to the design of an infrastructural system of elements to develop pedestrian-oriented parking lots.

Title : An Ongoing Dialogue

Degree : Master of Arts

Department : Architecture

Date of Defense : 1997-02-03

:Abstract

This thesis is an attempt to reconcile the form of an idea with the form of a

thing in this world to be experienced. An exploration of the meaning behind

the words idea, form, making and experience begins to unite the intellect of

an architect with the design of an architect. The terms are defined in the

thesis and explained through the project. The thesis through the project

sets out to take these terms beyond mere words and give them an

opportunity to inform eachother. It is this dialectic between idea, form,

making and experience that I believe to be the heart of architecture.

Idea and form are inextricably tied to one another. ?Which is the origin of

the other?? is not as pertinent a question as ?how do the two inform each

other??. Ideas change from project to project as do the forms inherent in

those ideas. Preceeding both idea and material form is another type of

form that is immaterial and often remains unseen. It is the character which

is essential to a thing. Whether it be a place or an ******************, it is the quality in

the thing itself. This character is the instigator of idea and form. It is the

architect?s goal to make this inherent form perceivable.

An architect makes idea and form manifest through a concept of making.

In Notes for a Theory of Making in a Time of Necessity, Giuseppe

Zambonini emphasizes that ?We must look not only at the quality of the

material used and at the craft employed, but also at the quality of the

thought process selecting and shaping the material. . .quality cannot be an

intrinsic condition that belongs to the ****************** . . . but rather it must express

the intent by which it is created and therein the clarity and strength of the

meaning being produced by its form? (Zambonini, 21). This quality of

design can best be achieved the earlier making and materiality are involved

in the design process. The questions of ?what is the form of this idea?? and

?how is this form to be made?? begin the relationship between idea, form

and making. The immediate responses may be intuitive, but the final one is

the resultof numerous makings. This is why architecture is practiced.

When the question arises:?how can this form not only em************ an idea but

be the idea??, the dialogue takes on a greater import. The way in which a

thing will be experienced starts to inform its making. ?It is the process that

will engage both user and observer in an active, participating relationship

with the work and thereby give the work its meaning? (Zambonini, 21). It is

at this point that the dialectic is fully engaged.

These four aspects simultaneously inform each other and nurture the

project throughout its life, from drawing board, to construction to the

various experiences that it will impart. It is not just one aspect, but these

four in communion that are the architecture.

Title : Gallery For Art

Degree : Master of Architecture

Department : Architecture

Date of Defense : 2005-06-06

:Abstract

For my thesis I explored the idea of the mask in relation to architecture. For my project I designed an art gallery located in Georgetown Washington DC which is composed of three layers: a structural layer, an environmental casing, and an outer layer. Theoretical parallels are drawn between the outer layer of the gallery and what is commonly referred to as a mask. Additionally, I explored the interaction between the layers of the gallery. The distinguishing characteristics of the building include the tri-fa硤e mask, the unique spaces in between the gallery?s layers, the glass system, the mask?s ghost effect, and the floor system.

Title : A House in Bahrain

Degree : Master of Architecture

Department : Architecture

Date of Defense : 2006-09-06

:Abstract

The architecture in Bahrain is now lost between tradition and modernity. The drastic economical changes that occurred there had a large influence on the architecture of the Island. My thesis is a study of the changes that occurred to the architecture of Bahrain over the past thirty five years. It is also a design of a modern house in Bahrain that does not neglect the traditional architectural values of the country. In my work I focused on using geometry and geometrical proportions which in turn unifies the different parts of the house in harmony.

Title : Technology, Time and Form

Degree : Master of Arts

Department : Architecture

Date of Defense : 1997-05-07

:Abstract

As architects in our life we should acknowledge our

problems and use them to create art. This study

acknowledges a cultural and architectural crisis that

exists today in most of the developing world as well

as in Jordan. It is focused on three pertinent aspects,

technology, time, and form, which havebecome

diverse and contradictory in ways unprecedented in

history. Technology by definition is a set of methods

a society employs to satisfy its building requirements.

In the past a state of harmony existed between

incoming values and technology, because of the slow

interaction which allowed the receiving culture

sufficient time for adaptation. In such cultures with

rich architectural tradition and heritage, the main

reason for the gap between existing and incoming

cultures is that they did not prepare to absorb

western exported aesthetic values and technology.

The main cause of this is during this century modern

technology has become too advanced to be

compatible with the capability of local building

technology, and the local tradition no longer has the

economic appeal it had before. The need for rapid

and large scale advancement in the developing

countries was made possible by modern technology,

not just for its economic appeal but also for the

prestige it carries with it. Nowadays, Jordan among

other nations contains a cultural heritage, and an

architectural legacy of great value that is suffering

from imported architectural fashions. However, the

problem is that it fails to distinguish aesthetic values

of western architecture when implementing them into

its culture. It was my intention throughout my studies

to create a bridge between western architectural

technology and traditional architectural forms and

technology in Jordan.

Title : Silence, Darkness and Light The Grand Egyptian Museum
Degree : Master of Architecture
Department : Architecture
Date of Defense : 2003-06-11
:Abstract
How can the unique legacy of the most ancient of civilizations be represented within a single building? How can one building spans the area between heaven and earth, the space described in the cosmology of our pharonic ancestors?
Certainly, to design such a building is a unique challenge, and an unprecedented opportunity, on this most privileged of sites in the history of mankind, that a museum is to be constructed capable of linking the immemorial past with the distant future spanning both the horizons of the ancients and those as yet unseen.
Through the investigation of phenomenology, geometry, simplicity, purity and light, listening to the voice of silence, emerging to the light from the darkness, and by understanding the strength of simplicity after passing through complexity, This thesis offers an endless stream of ideas that challenge the mind.
The vision for the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is to establish a place where people from different nations and cultures will be able to immerse themselves in the rich culture heritage from more than 5.000 years of Egyptian civilization. With the support of new technology, more effective and efficient dissemination of information can be achieved, enabling the New Museum to be a source of enjoyable, entertaining, educational and cultural experiences for all visitors.

Title : *******ed Architecture - In Search of Delight for All Senses

Degree : Master of Architecture
Department : Architecture
Date of Defense : 2003-09-26
:Abstract
Can we create an architecture that is to be savored and experienced as beautiful and meaningful over and over again? Yes! I call it *******ed Architecture. This Architecture is not just about a space, but the art of space.
Art is the application or exhibition of skills, aesthetic principles, and creative imagination in the production of the beautiful and the meaningful. Art will appeal to different senses. There is the art of ***************ng with the wonderful tastes and smells. There is the art of music pleasing to ears and spirit, and the art of painting, so inspiring to look at. Imagine living in an artistic space that pleases all the senses! A space with all these virtues becomes The Space, unique, remembered and desired.
It is very difficult to clearly determine how people feel about space. It is not something you calculate easily, as you do with numbers. Even the most precise de******************ion, listing all visible features, will not give an inkling of what we feel is the essence of the space. Architecture provides not only new ways of considering form, but of linking form to physical *******, expanding the possibilities of Architecture as multi sensory Architecture that engages all the senses, such as sight, sound, touch, smell and taste, etc.
The human need for sensory engagement is shown by the curiosity of young children, which overwhelms any sense of fear. As we age, our sensory needs remain, but our experience ************d caution keeps us from touching the fire. Out senses are deeply intertwined. Each sense contributes to the fuller comprehension of other sensory information.

Degree : Master of Architecture

:Abstract
Few would deny the importance of preserving our natural landscapes. However, the man-made landscape is just as worthy of preservation/reuse. Buildings represent a ************************ from their past, portraying the builder?s concerns and values. Buildings express their characteristics in time, space, and social con************. Their presence and conversely, their absence, have a direct impact on their surroundings.
Architecture has been continually enriched through
change and dialogue, such as additions,
interventions, and renovations of existing buildings. Many buildings exist today that have been poorly maintained, abandoned or the building has been demolished. This has led to the slow deterioration of the basic urban fabric and its framework, causing the overall quality and character of the building and/or its surroundings to become depressing and unattractive.
By rejuvenating/preserving the total environment, as well as, implementing the current design trends, life and history is restored. The challenge and goal of my thesis is to illustrate the positive effect this transformation cycle has on an urban space.
I propose to renovate the historic Norfolk and Westerm Passenger Train Station located in downtown Roanoke, Virginia, and design an

:Abstract
The city block may be seen as the fabric of the urban environment. It is often a compacted form, divided only by changing facades and party walls. Boxes all in rows. There is an inescapable sense of enclosure. Architecture has the potential to unlock the box, allowing interaction between inside and out.
