OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
Recipient of the Aga Khan Award for 2007
The design for this office development divides the linear (27 x 230 m) site into five blocks.
OVERVIEW
The abstract mass treatment of the two end blocks pays homage to primordial desertarchitecture, whereas the design of the three middle modular units rethinks the Miessei typology of the glass office block in relation to the specific site.
OVERVIEW
The designers believe that Islamic culture in general needs to ‘complement itsstriving for things past’ with an active participation in ‘universal’ intellectual production.
OVERVIEW
The building envelopes are a combination of natural stone, Alucobond aluminium sheet cladding and thermal glazing.
OVERVIEW
-The story of this project contextual , simultaneously universal and specific . At time of global concern for sustainable habitats , Except for few examples , the contemporary development of Jeddah's commercial/ office architecture is characterized with stripped building standards . environmentally irresponsible kitsch-formal practices that betray both old and new traditions , becoming self incriminating portrayals of orientalist claims of cultural poverty combined with excess that Edward said so eloquently refuted .

- The site , 21 M * 230 M stretch of land, is part of a narrow linear fragment separating the grains of a suburban neighborhood fabric on west from the high speed artery to the east . the site's location , narrow and linear proportions , East-West solar orientation, along with a client request for potential construction phasing and marketing , raised urban , pragmatic and Ecological issues that became formative to the Architectural resolution .
SITE ANALYSIS
The design Divided the site into five blocks . with three modular speculative office buildings in the middle , differentiated at either end through two cubic blocks that phenomenally anchors the building in its desert environment .
INSIGHT
INSIGHT
INSIGHT
The design of the modular blocks operationally places a linear service core on the west side , allowing for critical planning depth for the office space and creating a thermal buffer that reduces heat gain on the western side .
MASTER GROUND FLOOR PLAN
INSIGHT
with the protective building fabric to the west generates an intended existential edge to the neighboring residential fabric .
INSIGHT
Echoing primoridial desert architecture , the minimalist treatments of the building establishes an abstract
environmental narrative that sequentially unfolds in
differentiated instances of the tectonic envelope and fenestration
INSIGHT
Detail, sharply delineating the East-West archetypal duality , heightening awareness of Ecological responses and Minimizing solar heat gain to reduce
active energy consumption , While preserving a sense of rationality and realist aesthetics that extends the office building's genealogy as a modernist
prototype.
