ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO www.bahaa.ai

2. With over 17 years of experience as a graphic designer and 
creative director, as well as holding a degree in interior 
design and currently pursuing my third degree in architec-
ture, my passion for creating innovative and impactful 
designs has only grown stronger. My diverse background 
and expertise have enabled me to excel in various design 
disciplines and deliver exceptional results for my clients.
My portfolio showcases a wide range of successful projects 
and collaborations with both local and international clients. 
From branding and marketing materials to interior spaces 
and architectural designs, I have consistently demonstrated 
my ability to bring creativity and strategic thinking to every 
project I undertake.
My approach to design is rooted in the belief that it has the 
power to transform the way we experience the world and 
forge meaningful connections between brands and their 
audiences. As a seasoned professional, I am adept at lead-
ing the creative process, developing concepts that align 
with clients' visions and goals, and ensuring that all work 
meets the highest standards of quality and creativity. With a 
keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, I strive 
to exceed client expectations and deliver design solutions 
that leave a lasting impact.

5. Inspiration & Concept Public garden
integration
Inspired by the nurturing embrace of the womb, where
life begins and potential is realized, so too must an
architectural school be a fertile ground where aspiring
architects are conceived, nurtured, and developed.
It should be a sanctuary of creativity and knowledge,
where the seeds of architectural vision are planted,
cultivated, and brought to fruition.
In this sacred space, the dreams and skills of future
architects are incubated, fostering growth and awakening
the possibilities that shape our built environment.
Incorporating seating areas within
the space creates opportunities for
students to share experiences and
communicate effectively.

6. Climate control
and green spaces
Leaving the top of the oval shape open helps reduce
energy consumption and maintain a pleasant climate
throughout the year.
Integrating green spaces on
the rooftops provides outdoor
areas accessible from every
floor of the building, enhances
the scenery of the administra-
tion building, and seamlessly
blends with the public garden.
Classes
Implementing brise soleil in the facade openings not only
controls sunlight but also adds a dynamic aesthetic to the
building's exterior.
Studios
Integrating a vertical version of the facade's design
maintains the building's identity while distinguishing its
various functions.
Administration
Integrating a Horizontal version of the facade's design
maintains the building's identity while distinguishing its
various functions.

Inspiration & Concept
Trees grow in a cone shape to  optimize sunlight absorption, especially in environments with  limited space.
This natural architecture allows 
lower branches to capture sunlight 
from various angles while tapering 
towards the top minimizes 
self-shading.
In narrow spaces, such as dense 
forests or urban areas, this design 
enables trees to efciently compete 
for sunlight, ensuring their growth 
and survival in challenging
conditions.
