2. Conce
pt
 The Museum of Islamic Art is the result of a voyage of
discovery made by I.M. Pei, whose quest to
understand the diversity of Islamic architecture took
him on a world tour.
 visits to the Great Mosque of Cordoba, Spain; to
Fatehpur Sikri, a Mughal capital in India; to the
Great Mosque of the Umayyads in Damascus, Syria
and the ribat fortresses in Monastir and Sousse in
Tunisia, he found that the influences of climate and
culture led to many interpretations of Islamic
architecture, but none evoked the true essence he
sought
• Pei refused to build the museum at any of
the proposed sites on the Corniche,
suggesting the creation of an independent
artificial island somewhat away from the
promenade, and thereby ensuring that
future buildings never invade the museum.
• The inspiration for the final design was the
13th-century saber (source of ablutions) of
the Ahmad Ibn Tulun Mosque in Cairo, Egypt
(9th century).

3.  HAJIA SOPHIA A Christian
Masterpiece Also known
as Aya Sofya and St
Sophia.
• Built in 537 AD and
situated in Istanbul,
Turkey.
02. TYPOLOGICAL HAJIA SOPHIA

4. • The History of the Building Haghia Sophia (‘Holy Wisdom’ in
Greek) was inaugurated in 537 AD, nearly 1500 years ago, by
Emperor Justinian. An enormous sum was used to build the
church. It marks the beginning of Byzantine architecture.
For many years it was the most celebrated church in all of
Christendom. After the fall of Constantinople, it was
converted into a mosque with the additions of minarets in
1458. Ever since it has been an inspiration and a model for
many of the Islamic mosques. Today, it is used as a museum.
Like the Pantheon in Rome, it is one of the oldest building in
continuous used today for nearly 1500 years
• The Architectural Achievement
and Plan An old architectural problem
is to fit a circular dome over a square
plan. A perfect solution to the problem
is the use of a pendentive, a curved
triangular vault. These were
incorporated into the construction of
Hagia Sophia.

5. 03. PRESERVATION / ADAPTIVE REUSE Professional Cooking School
LOCATION – Medina-Sidonia
spain
ARCHITECT – sol89
COMPLETED IN – 2011

6.  Medina is a historic town in the hills in
Cadiz. Its houses are known for their
whitewashed walls and their ceramic roofs.
The project involves adapting an ancient
slaughterhouse, built in the XIX century, into
a Professional Cooking School.
 The ancient slaughterhouse was composed
of a small construction around a courtyard
and a high white wall that limits the plot. If
you are going to act in the historic city you
must adapting, taking shelter, settling in its
empty spaces.
 The density of the architecture of the
ancient slaughterhouse, where brick walls,
stones and Phoenician columns coexist,
contrasts with the empty space inside the
plot, limited by the wall.
 The Professional Cooking School uses this idea of the
molded ceramic plane to draw its geometry. This roof
lends unity to the built complex and interprets the
traditional construction of the place, ceramic roofs
and whitewashed walls.

7. LOCATION – West Berlin
ARCHITECT –Studio Libeskind
COMPLETED IN – 1933 &
1999
04 . CONTEXTUAL JEWISH MUSEUM, BERLIN

8. • Conceptually, Libeskind wanted to express feelings of
absence, emptiness, and invisibility – expressions of
disappearance of the Jewish Culture
• It was the act of using architecture as a means of
narrative and emotion providing visitors with an
experience of the horrifying effects of the Holocaust on
both the Jewish culture and the city of Berlin.
• The first Jewish Museum in Berlin was founded on 24 January
1933
• “The Jewish Museum is conceived as an emblem in which
the Invisible and the Visible are the structural features
which have been gathered in this space of Berlin and laid
bare in an architecture where the unnamed remains the
name which keeps still.” - Daniel Libeskind
• The building zigzags with its titanium-zinc façade and
features underground axes, angled walls, and bare
concrete “voids” without heat or air-conditioning. With
his “Between the Lines” design, American architect
Daniel Libeskind did not want simply to design a
museum building, but to recount German-Jewish
history.

06. TECTONIC / PROGRAMMATIC CAYAN TOWER

12. CAYAN TOWER DESIGN IDEA
& GOALS
• The design team presents 3 options;
• a) 60deg rotation;
• b) 90 degree rotation;
• c) 90 degree rotation with glazing p shed 20
cm from exterior face of the columns from
original 12 cm for maximizing sellable area to
the client. Based on the clients comments,
last one was picked
• Each floor of Cayan Tower has
exactly same contours and is rotated
by 1.2 degrees to achieve the full
90° spiral, creating the shape of a
helix.
• Uniquespiral shapeof CayanTowerreflectstheever-
changingshapesofthedeserts,winds, andseas that
surround it.
The shape of the tower is a variation on
Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden, which
also twists exactly 90".
CONCEPT
• The benefits of this unique form, besides the
aesthetic ones, are manifold. Wind load and
solar heat gain are reduced compared to a
rectilinear building of the same height, and a
greater number of tenants are afforded
BUILDING FUNCTION
• Cayan Tower has six podium floors in which there are tower
lobby, car parks, retails and public cafes.
• There are two mechanical floor in Cayan Tower and they are
located on 28th and 72nd floors. Both
• mechanical floor are in two stort height
