FIle consists of 87 drawings and 20 photographs prepared for Sheik Aid bin Naraya, Minister of Education, United Arab Emirates. The competition design prepared for this proposed University, in the oasis city of AI Ain in the United Arab Emirates, sought to provide a modem interpretation of the historical principles of Islamic design. The project was conceived as an axial plan with crossing axes at the entries to the various faculties, achieving their own specific identity. Particularly important was the need to weave the existing buildings of the University into the plan. An architectural vocabulary was developed as a reinterpretation of "desert" architecture, whereby walls were conceived massively in nature with small punched openings to admit light. Such walls protected the inner spaces from the harsh surrounding environment and these spaces were to be enriched in a variety of ways. Spaces were conceived in a hierarchical manner by means of size and finish material. Courtyards, some internalized and climate controlled, became the focus of the architecture, and were protected from the environment by high walls and overhead trellises. Each courtyard was provided with a decorative water feature and appropriate landscaping. In keeping with most Islamic buildings, particular emphasis was placed on the internal nature of space, doorways, passages, and gates to each space. The major entrance to the project is approached directly by the main axis where an enveloping semicircular administration building accepts visitors and dignitaries. The axial plan is broken only by the various "prayer" spaces, or Mosques, which turn in the direction of Mecca. Particularly important to the project were the series of gates at the axial entry points, giving the project its outward architectural richness.

File includes 10 photograph slides of model. The Al Falah Trust, in Makkah, commissioned a limited design competition for a boys' private school to accommodate 1 000 male students. It was the client's intention that the Makkah School would provide a model for the planning and design of two or three schools in different cities in Saudi Arabia. There were four main design objectives for the school: to support and enhance the progressive educational approach of the Al Falah Trust; to establish a clear physical identity for the school that reflects both its noble traditions and high academic ideals; to provide modem teaching facilities that include the latest technology, laboratories, and computer and audio visual aids; and to incorporate the traditional Islamic spatial concepts and motifs with particular respect and sympathy for the Mogul Islamic forms, while reflecting the spirit of the traditional architecture of the Hejaz in general and of Makkah in particular. The site was planned with an introverted form, with buildings extending right up to the limited site boundaries. Within the relatively opaque exterior walls, a series of courtyards were created, around which were located the main functional components and building masses. A colonnade was cut into the ground floor of most buildings to provide shade and soften the interior-exterior transition. Small domes or cupolas were used to give emphasis to a number of major elements of the complex including the entrances to each of the main buildings. The three main academic components - an elementary, secondary, and high school - were complemented by a 1 000-seat auditorium with backstage areas, a gymnasium and swimming pool complex, a central administration unit, a mosque, ancillary play fields, and parking. In addition to the school (19 500 m2), the project also included substantial commercial and residential development (10 400 m2) located along the major road that formed the site boundary on the north. This development both protected the school from extraneous traffic noise and provided it with a revenue source.

Files includes 411 drawings, 23 presentation boards, and 10 photographs. The A1 Kharj RSAF Complex provides facilities for the King Faisal Air Force Academy and Tactical Airlift squadrons that were stationed at Riyadh airport. The Complex was intended to become the central maintenance and supply depot for the RSAF. The site is in close proximity to the Damman-Riyadh railway and the AI Kharj-Haradh road which are the main arteries for transportation. The total area required for the plan is 52.3 hectares. Function was the governing principle for the design. Common academic facilities are clustered on the central uppermost plaza under the shading structures of the water towers. The residential blocks are oriented toward the richly landscaped side courts. The King Faisal Air Force Academy itself is a sand-coloured stepped pyramid, a form that is economical for the desert and accommodates a village density. The Academy is designed for 1,500 students and 300 faculty. The three colleges, along with their supporting religious, command, housing, recreational, athletic and support services, are contained in one large multi-levelled structure.
