Human scale

Human Scale Design aims to create environments optimally scaled for human use, enhancing comfort, functionality, and spiritual well-being. By incorporating ergonomic principles and focusing on human physicality and mentality, my design philosophy ensures that products, buildings, and spaces are tailored to the physical needs and visual limitations of users/occupants or even passersby. The main Key aspects are to include user-friendly interfaces, intuitive layouts, and accessible features, promoting for efficiency, positive user experience and emotional belonging.

Human Scale design in architecture directly influences how occupants perceive and interact with spaces. Purposed human scale design ensures that buildings feel comfortable, functional, generates a superior ambiance, and aesthetically pleasing. When human scale design is thoughtfully considered, spaces can evoke a sense of intimacy, grandeur, or utility based on their purpose. We shall create built environments that are engaging, accessible, and comfortable for everyone to prioritize the needs and perceptions of people in the design process. It’s a must to consider how to combine the scale of the building with the creation of a sense-of-place that is both functional and visually appealing.

Vertical Urbanism

Urban density is pushing the boundaries of vertical scale design. Skyscrapers now integrate mixed-use elements, combining living, working, and recreational functions, as such vertical gardens and green facades contribute to sustainability goals while enhancing urban aesthetics, moreover the Vertical scale addresses the need for space in growing cities without expanding horizontally.

 Sense of belonging

It is the Architectural design approach for each of the senses!, to create "spaces and places" that make us feel safe, loved, and celebrated… such emotions shall connect us to the 'space' and can be expressed through a range of user's emotional states: spiritual connection, warmth, coziness, joy and safety.

Thereafter the designer shall always consider the design aspiration of Place-making, that centers people in the place-ambient to complete it, and imbues our built environment with our "self-being" in a variety of design patterns such as: sense of arrival, space qualities, human scale, spiritual behavior, authentic locality, culture, communal gatherings, and environment; all in a repetition as architectural sequential-patterns. Consequently, our architectural language will speak at both pre-reflective and symbolic levels.

Sense of Belong to any built environment is the feeling of attachment, of being rooted, increasing a sense of self-esteem, and happiness.

We need to understand the being-in-Place qualities as a moral dialogue between the questions of whom we are and where we are; therefore, we need to shift our priorities to generate an emphasis on places that people value and feel valued in.

Ensuring Sustainability

Promoting for environmental responsibility and awareness!  

Sustainable design requires thoughtful material selection and energy-efficient solutions. Eco-friendly materials and prefabricated modular components help achieve sustainability goals, moreover considering efficient design practices reduce waste and energy consumption.

 Contextual

The relation between a building and its surrounding context can be formed in three ways including congruence, contradiction and confrontation!, Therefore… 

This design value creates structures that celebrate its existence in its own destination, as it fits only in its location and nowhere else, to embody the attributes of its location with very specifics design methods to enhance and elaborate on the sense of arrival, approachability, accessibility, passive orientation, openness towards the appealing views and protection from harsh climate techniques. 

Furthermore, this design approach shall physically build a homogenous urban fabric, since this design approach shall perfectly situate the project in its location and seamlessly tied it to its context.

The Integrated contextual architecture with the surrounding environment necessitates awareness of common identity rather than individual preferences, accordingly the designer shall thoroughly consider all of literal and abstract site characteristics such as built environment, adjacencies, urban fabric, and cultural aspect, in addition to its physical characteristics such as: topography, vegetation, roads, sidewalks, regional geography conditions, urban traffic density, and population.

Compositional Architecture

Building as a crafted sculpture… 

This design approach combines essential principles and elements to create harmonious, functional spaces and landmark design quality.

Recognizing that balance, proportion, rhythm, hierarchy, and unity significantly influence the aesthetic and experiential qualities to enhance not only the visual appeal but also the usability of utility spaces and negative spaces.

The interplay of form, space, scale, and proportion enables to craft environments that resonate with their context.

Through conscious orchestration of these elements, in addition to the influence of spatial perception, the overall product shall offer a unified entity that fosters for a cohesive user experience and a unique sense-of-place like no other. This commitment to balance and harmony established through symmetry, asymmetry, and careful consideration of form, void, space quality, spatial visibility, color and texture guides to creating integrated design values.

 Human-centric

While buildings fulfill the most basic human needs like shelter and security, architecture impacts the emotional state of any person who interacts with; it is also an expression of cultural identity and emotional well-being. Human-centered architecture takes into account (a) the cultural context and the unique characteristics of a place: By respecting and integrating local traditions, materials, and design elements, we shall be creating spaces that echo with people’s cultural roots and contribute to a sense-of-identity, aiming to bring to mind positive emotions and create built environments that inspire and uplift, (b) Biophilic design, which incorporates natural elements into architecture, ensures spaces feel comforting and engaging, and (c) Flexible/hybrid spaces that adapt to varying needs, like transformable rooms and adjustable furniture, reflect an increased emphasis on user-centric design.

Architecture and urban design create physiological responses in people that can promote long-term health and well-being.

Constructability

Considering the constructability measures as a design approach to the extent to which construction designs can be effectively and efficiently executed, in order to assess the feasibility and risk of construction methods, and finding solutions that better achieve project goals. It’s a process of optimum integration of construction knowledge, materials industry, construction techniques and construction sequence experience into project planning, design, procurement.

Buildability is mainly concerned with design, quality of built products, ease of construction, as well as efficient and economical construction, while Constructability emphasizes integration of construction knowledge and experience at various project stages; optimization of different project requirements to achieve overall goals; and ease of construction, whereas improved constructability would eventually bring about tangible benefits in terms of time, cost, quality and safety.
