Transportation is a mandatory service for any metropolis. The movement of people and the exchange of goods contribute to the dynamism of an economy. The platform for these interchanges must be well placed in the urban fabric and the organizational structure of an existing transport system. Policies and big infrastructure projects shape the transport networks. Understanding this fact leads architects to intervene by designing structures that house modes of transport to link them with public transport users. Furthermore, these facilities can transform the skyline and serve as landmarks. How can Architecture facilitate Transportation? Can a Transport facility improve an Economy? Can a Terminus integrate with a roundabout? Can a BRT terminal become an iconic landmark? BRT Terminal Jemo condominiums 1, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Year 5, Semester 2 at Eiabc [February 2018_June 2018] Individual Thesis project ARCH 5101_Chair of Architectural Design II Advised by Birhanu Mussa and Fasil Giorghis Creating a functional landmark building using responsive design principles such as permeability, robustness, legibility, richness and visual beauty is a gesture that could transform a skyline.
Urban Design Proposal The geometry and the urban grid of the jemo condominium housing site is projected onto the urban square. Pedestrian paths are accentuated by green edges as they lead commuters straight to the BRT terminal. The roundabout is dedicated to the BRT turnback and terminal. This gesture puts pressure on traffic management but enhances users’ experience. Traffic congestion is caused mainly by heavy duty vehicles and small capacity public transport modalities (Rickshaws and minibuses). The clover leaf diagram mitigates this issue and enhances the 80,000m2 urban square. Prohibiting taxis to enter the roundabout and deflecting their circulation to the edges of the urban square reduces traffic. 3 storey high mixed use buildings house taxi stations, domestic vehicle parking and retail stores. An open air market with stalls is adjacent to the factories and the heavy duty vehicle lane.

It’s organized according to the geometric grid of mobility patterns and the urban fabric. BRT buses have exit doors to the left in a median platform system. The BRT lane is 7 m wide and the turnback lane is 8 m wide to allow buses to overtake one another. Four platforms are provided.

Located in the Central Business District, in close proximity to several Hospitals, the Red Cross HQ and other complementary functions, at the intersection of two Principal Arterial streets, this public facility is accessible to pedestrians, domestic and emergency vehicles. The facility is unique as it prevents and creates awareness on Natural and Man made disasters. A Disaster exhibition hall regularly exhibits local and global disasters (from car crashes in nearby regions to mudslides in California). Medical Training services are hosted in a lecture hall for professionals and lay-men to learn ABC and CPR. Fire-fighters and a Search and Rescue team support the Addis Ababa Fire and Emergency prevention Agency. The safety Equipment shop, the public water courtyard and the Restaurant draw passer-by in- wards. The Architectonics express a harmonised contrast between a range of materials. The high tensile cables, connected to cruciform steel columns support I section joists and girders. The light weight porous grating floors and ceilings reduce the dead weight to enable long spans and cantilevers. A weathering Steel COR-TEN facade hovers over gabion walls, grating mesh and steel columns. The skeleton and the skin of the disaster center are symbolically exposed.

African Cultural Centre Meskel Square, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Year 4, Semester 2 at Eiabc [February-June 2017] Individual project Instructor : Yohannes Afework yohannes.afework@eiabc.edu.et Occupying 20.4% of the Earth’s surface area (30,221,532 km²) with 14% of the World Population (890,000,000) in 61 multicultural territories, Africa is the Melting Pot of Cultures. Addis Ababa, is considered as the Medina of Africa, the symbol of freedom, liberty and security. The Ethiopian Capital has been the seat of the Organization of the African Union (OAU) since 1963, the Economic Commission of Africa (ECA) and a great number of foreign diplomatic missions. Despite strong political and diplomatic relationships between the 54 Sovereign African states in the African Union, the African population has little knowledge of the immense cultural and ethnic diversity of the continent. One cannot find a specific location to gather such information. Where can Africans learn their Cultures ?

Unfortunately, today we only see condom advertisements and Airlines billboards. A cultural centre has the potential to enrich the urban public life if the design respects existing site conditions (existing historic walls, functions and topography) and revives the natural setting.

The mix of yellow and green tones in the Northern and Western main entrances are defined by acute triangles of dry and wet grass strategically arranged so as to only permit pedestrian access. The botanical garden reflects the natural Landscape of Africa by incorporating Indigenous trees (Bamboo, Stinkwood, Red African Tulip Tree, Accacia, Aningeria, Sudan Teak, Corkwood, Brown’s Myrobolan, African Wild Olive), deciduous shrubs, flowers (Angaro, Orketa desert Adenium Obesum, Veronia, Trifolium, Cynoglossum,Rumex, echinops, acan- thus) which accentuate Giant Feminine Statues, Wildlife sculptures and the Architectural masses. The design imposes a juxtaposition of violet, purple haze, red, pink against various hues of green and 2 triangular water ponds.

The African History Museum is a permanent exhibit that pessimistically narrates the story of Africa. A Loop circulation dictates the experience of visitor in the museum. Great of ancient civilisations, a Sharp Shift in History and the Downfall of the continent are the 3 epochs represented in a the contiguous space hovering 4 meters above ground level. The Volume descends to a lower exit point after a sharp turning point on triangular balcony above a triangular pond. Coming from the rectilinear gallery of the Ancient Greats, visitors must pass through a zig-zag gallery displaying African suffering before they can exit this dark Museum.

Performance halls The fan shaped theatre provides good views and sound to spectators. Optimal acoustics are reinforced through wooden stage flooring, heavy carpet on concrete walls, wooden upholstered seats, sound absorbing curtains and acoustic reflector ceilings. The secondary sound reflecting ceiling guides the sound with an adapted curve towards the seats. Banking the 3 rows of seats enables uniform direct sound to all places. The form follows a logarithmic spiral. The volume of the theatre is 6000 m3 in total (calculated using a standard of 5 m3 per person). A floor area of 1000 m2 for accommodates 1200 seats. The stage is preceded by an orchestra pit. Four entrances, each with 2m double hinge sound insulated swing door, allow 3 people to pass at the same time.

Phenology Centre Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York Year 2, Semester 1 at NYIT [November-December 2014] Individual project Instructor : Douglas Romines douglas@rominesarchitecture.co Situated at the shore of the lake in Prospect Park, the Phenology centre establishes spaces in which a Hydrologist, a Botanist and a Chronologist will conduct scientific research on the interactions between water, soil and the cosmos. The existing public circulation is woven into the belly of the complex and ensures that the public is encouraged to engage with the researchers in this open building. Laboratories, classrooms, a roof terrace, a research garden and conference rooms are accessible to the public at ground level whilst the offices of the scientists remain private at the first floor. The geometric master-stroke of the design ensures that a person located at one end of the building has a clear view to the other end (see sketch below). black tulipo Winterberry Sweet Pepperbush Blue Vervain Rough-Stemmed Goldenrod The presence of Indigenous plant and animal life signifies a healthy ecosystem.

The fifth Elevation Roosevelt Building, 482 Broadway, New York Year 2, Semester 2 at NYIT [March 2015] Individual project Instructor : Ricky Liu rliu02@nyit.edu Using the existing structural grid system of a New York city Loft in the fashion district of Chelsea, the scheme converts the space into a fashion designers’ studio where the exterior runway is parallel to the street and part of the folding facade. The master-stroke of the design gently intertwines two folding plans of contrasting finishes to create a porous exterior shell. The shell permeates light into offices and conference rooms at the centre of the first level.

The Cliff Dwelling Hudson River, NewJersey, Year 1, Semester 2 at NYIT [May 2015] Individual project Instructor : Prof. David Diamond davidiamond@yahoo.com Three artisans collaborate to build a summer dwelling that contains bedrooms, studios, a kitchen and a gathering room on the side of a cliff overlooking the Hudson River. A water feature runs under the dwelling to cool the semi-open spaces. The construction corresponds to the skill-sets of the Mason, Carpenter and Weaver. As such, only three materials are used in this rock-hewn semi-open summer cottage.

Waterworks An exercise in Water, Slope & Experience. Year 1, Semester 1 at NYIT [November-December 2013] Individual project Instructor : Prof. Dianne Neff dneff@nyit.edu The sloped site is divided into 3 distinct spaces where we find 3 pavilions dedicated for repose, reflection and admiration. The promenade captures the curiosity of visitors as they begin a winding journey up the hill without perceive the entirety of the site. Upon entering the water garden, visitors are instantly provoked by a powerful 12 feet high waterfall that awakens the senses. After the first climb, a quiet pavilion awaits those who require rest. Finally, the last climb confines the visitors in a dark, narrow and elongated staircase. The contrast between this sombre threshold and the last pavilion, in which the whole site is unveiled, creates a complete experience of this imagina- tive sensory place scaled to human dimensions. The lack of disability access is a major flaw even if the project is a hypothetical exercise in sense of place.
Cubist exercise An interpretation of Merz 21, a collage by Kurt Schwitters Year 1, Semester 2 at NYIT [June 2015] Individual project Instructor : Prof. David Diamond davidiamond@yahoo.com Analyze the organization of a 2D cubist painting in order to transform the internal grid and the poetic gestures into a 3D object. After extracting the internal grid, the student is asked to build a frame model on which planes must be added accordingly. The final model has to capture the essence of the geometry of the original art-piece represented in a datum volume, planes and a frame structure.
