Heritage Modern House / Rama Architects

March 18, 2022 Hana Abdel 0

The project is an Alterations and Additions to an existing Art Deco Heritage House on Sydney’s Northern Beaches for a young and growing family. This 5-bed home looked to celebrate the honest red brick vernacular from an external point of view and modernize and open the inside through void spaces, large windows, and expressed structure to allow an open and flowing living, connecting to the rear. The goal was to create a sense of harmony with the existing, yet a distinction of the new from the old. This was achieved through embracing the brick facades in their material and scale yet differentiating through color and form.

Kocaeli Congress Center / OZER/URGER Architects

March 18, 2022 Hana Abdel 0

Most of Turkey’s industrial infrastructure is in Kocaeli and Izmit Bay. However, most of the factories remained inside the city because of the rapid growth of the population in recent years, and thus moved to new places. Today, the abandoned areas by the factories offer new opportunities to overcome the accessibility problems of the coastal zone and the lack of public space. This process is first started with SEKA park stage 1 project in 2007 and the SEKA park Stage 2 project in 2009, both of which offer an uninterrupted park through the seafront. The project is the transformation of a 3-block factory structure, which stays inside this park, to a new congress center.

Architecture education was never designed to prepare you for the entrepreneurial side of running a practice. In the minds of the creators that constructed the system which stands for what you now know to be the path to getting licensed, you were never meant to start a business in architecture prematurely. There is a code, a set of rules that drives you to obey and follow a one-sided vision of success.
