Data-Driven Morphology

Designed a parametric view analysis script applied to massing options to inform tower shape, orientation and position. This was also coordinated with the  core efficiency study. In addition, we produced 3D printings for representation.

Master plan and Villas Design for a hospitality beach resort in the Middle East. The main focus was to merge open views with contemporary language, but this presented an environmental performance challenge. With every new iteration, I was able to understand the amount of direct solar gain inside each unit by creating an automated radiation analysis. As a result, we designed the Island Villas, Overwater and Presidential Villas specifying roof mitigations for the increased radiation amount.

Solar Veil

The aim of this project was to provide a governmental building icon that would transmit a message of efficiency and elegance. Therefore, the project mass has a curved recess shape to provide shade to the public convention terrace and ground atrium. Within this idea, the tower is a curved recess mantle, from the atrium to the top. What’s more, a parametric solar radiation screen was implemented to achieve the most effective shading to the glass openings, while reducing heat accumulation. Finally, this achieved the most openness toward views of the Persian Gulf, while covering the solar heated parts of the facades.

Vertical Dune

This competition proposal for an organic shaped 40 storey tower presented a challenge to deliver area optimization and facade efficiency. In response to this challenge, I created a workflow integrating scripts to successfully tackle the following issues: massing modelling, environmental analysis, view analysis, panelling and solar radiation assessment, interior design, 3d printing and laser cutting, and area calculations output.

Because the script originated for the competition and later, the project, we were able to reduce the direct solar radiation gain to 68% in the final design proposal and to optimize the marketable floor area with an shareable excel output. This studies, paired with careful and experienced design skills were crucial to the positive outcome of
