Based in Al Madam, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates the project primarily investigates how the desert itself can become a tool in the design of the building. The Plant Research Facility is derived from the site itself, and this is discovered throughout the entirety of the project. The design process serves as the foundation for the development of the project, and allows for the building itself to be an amalgamation of the small discoveries collected throughout the journey. Through this an understanding of how site context, and modern digital tools, can start to encourage new methods of working and thinking. Architecture becomes not only a result of creative thinking processes, rather it stems from the development of the world around it and this allows for novel decisions, ideas, and iterations. The aim of the project is to better understand the extent to which this can, and should, be implemented.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.18% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1204120953?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Bartlett_Summer_2026_Bsc_UG21_Maryam_Alqassim_01\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><br>Developing A Process<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.18% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1204120952?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Bartlett_Summer_2026_Bsc_UG21_Maryam_Alqassim_02\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><br><strong>Technical Drawings<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:77.32% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1204120954?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Bartlett_Summer_2026_Bsc_UG21_Maryam_Alqassim_03\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><br>Renders<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decoding Al Madam | Al Madam, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates | Unit 21 | 2026 This project explores how architecture can be formed and derived through the utilisation of iterative coding processes.
