Smart Cities: A Socio-Technical Perspective
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)This research paper elaborates upon the concept of Smart Cities and the evolution of the term itself throughout history in order to outline the emergence of two distinct schools of thought: technocentric and humancentric, ... -
Robotic Fabrication as Catalysts for Emergent Topologies and Traditions: Nomadic Small Pavilions and Permanent Mega Structures in Kuwait
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)This paper reviews tendencies and drives for future parametric computational design and robotic fabrication/construction automation. It sheds light on the local current impact of the computational paradigm and mass-customized ... -
The Affective City: Cartography of Machinic Urban Assemblages
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)While the city is generally perceived -within complexity theory and dynamic systems theory as a changing field of dense interactions that occur in a range of spatial and temporal scales, we are unable to perceive it or ... -
The Agrarian City in the age of Planetary Scale Computation: Dynamic System Model and Parametric Design Model for the introduction of Vertical Farming in High Dense Urban Environments in Singapore
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)Current conditions related to food security lead to study alternative forms of food production in cities such as vertical urban farming in high dense urban environments. This paper discusses the development of the Innovate ... -
[E]motive Architecture: strategies for a behaviour-driven Space configuration
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)As Architect and Engineer, we used to work with the concept of Space. Struggling to find an exhaustive definition, we risk thinking about it as a framework with the same properties of the object we are going to design. ... -
Re-defining the Role of Interactive Architecture in Social Relationships
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)With rapid advance of new technologies and mediated built space has shifted from a static context of functions serving users to a new participant of social relationships. Interactive abilities and computational power allow ... -

' Pay-as-you-go City ': New Forms of Domesticity in a Technological Society
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)Ongoing urbanization, combined with market fundamentalism as the prevailing mode of political management, is leading to the spatial and social segregation of economic classes in cities. The housing market, being driven by ... -
BLOOM: materialising computational workflows
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)The paper presents ongoing research, aiming towards affordability of complex forms in architecture. The research supports that the above objective can be approached by re-examining and integrating materiality and form-finding ... -
Participator, A Participatory Urban Design Instrument
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)A point cloud of reference points forms the programmable basis of a new method of urban and architectural modeling. Points in space from the smallest identifiable units that are informed to communicate with each other to ... -
The Body at the Center of Our Design Universe
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)A third factor has increasingly complicated the man-environment paradigm - the intellectual and physical framework defining the relationship between man and the environment, both built and natural - without definitive ... -
Increasing Value of Architecture in the Platform Society
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference)The author has developed several methods for democratizing the architectural design process resulting in a more user specific and open architecture. Our cities need Open Systems in order to grow and become resilient and ... -
Evaluating the Operational Impact of Left-Turn Exclusive Number of Lanes: A Case Study from Qatar
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference)Left-turning movements can significantly reduce the overall capacity of signalized intersections due to the queueing built up. Intersections with heavy left-turning volumes tend to use multiple lanes to accommodate left-turn ... -
