Islamic University of Madinah

File includes 604 drawings, 33 presentation boards, 150 photographs, and 1 model of the entrance gate. The Islamic University of Madinah is distinguished both by its religious location and by the fact that it represents a centre for the collection, preservation, and dissemination of Islamic heritage. It is situated at the Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, an oasis town surrounded by the desert and the rocky mountains. The valleys are the source of its water supply. The 120 hectare site also incorporates existing buildings. The university campus is characterized by the integration of teaching and living spaces organized around a hierarchy of courts. The Mosque and Faculties occupy the centre of the campus. Low buildings, not exceeding four storeys, maintain a human scale. The main gate faces the City of Madinah and the axes of the buildings are aligned to acknowledge the religiously significant Qibla in Makkah. The prominent arrival court is landscaped with water fountains and gardens as a forecourt to the main Mosque. The residential buildings are clustered, as are the Faculty buildings, housing about 2 000 students in nine-person dwelling units. Covered pedestrian walkways link the facilities beyond the campus core, such as the sports facilities, faculty housing, and commercial districts. The architectural style is based on Islamic forms: simple massing, grouping buildings around courtyards, and orientation of individual components within buildings towards courtyards, which are a source of natural light, air, and visual relief. Courtyards, arcades around courtyards, and gateways to individual buildings are the repetitive elements found throughout the campus.

Fintas Centre (a.k.a. Fintas Town Centre)

File includes 1 site plan, 1 presentation board (title block with prints of model and drawing of site plan), and 5 photographic prints of model. The Government of Kuwait initiated the development plan for a new town envisioned as a major urban centre. The Fintas Centre was to accommodate retail and commercial office space, as well as focus on clinics, cinemas, recreation, parking, a botanical garden, and a market, serving a population of 500 000. The site was a vacant rectangular superblock approximately 1 hectare, situated between the Fahaheel Expressway and the As Safar Motorway. It is west of the existing town of Fintas. Some traditional housing exists on the eastern edge of the Fintas superb lock. The mall is wrapped in a wall of parking garages simulating a walled city. There are four gates at the cardinal points: two of which enter low rise office buildings; one a conservatory surrounded by a hotel, library and theatre; and one on a bridge which links the east and the west sides of the centre.

Building on the success of the Abu Dhabi project, the client, the Emirates Telecommunications Corporation, requested a design for its Dubai site. It would be a variation on the themes developed for Abu Dhabi. The functions were to be virtually the same but on a substantially larger site than that of Abu Dhabi. The site provided in Dubai was near the Dubai Creek opposite the Sheraton Hotel in a zone scheduled for future development of major buildings. As the first in this zone, Etisalat sought to address a future visual corridor to the creek and to the other major cultural buildings. The scheme developed into a 16 storey office tower with a facetted curtain wall similar to that of the Abu Dhabi plan but with curved core walls on the east and west faces. The principal materials included granite, green tinted glass and painted aluminum. The project also utilized a radome and the combination of the curvatures of the rotunda. The walls of the tower and the radome, together with the stepped forms of the parking building, have created a most interesting play of forms, finding great favour with both the users and the Dubai citizens alike.
