Abu Nuwas Conservation I Development Project

File contains 17 drawings (4 site plans, 7 exterior perspectives, 6 sketches), 3 photographic prints of model in two frames, and one island scheme model. The Abu Nuwas Project is situated south of the town centre and across from the Tigris River from the presidential palace. The district is known as a recreational area. The urban master plan called for a 3 km section on the bank of the river to be extended into Baghdad's main concourse. The existing Abu Nuwas district was to be preserved and consolidated with the addition of squares, gates, and arcades. The final scheme positioned an island intersecting a new bridge proposed by the government. This man-made island would contain a history museum, a performing arts complex, a national library, an arts school, an aquarium, theme gardens, and terraced displays of scientific devices, such as water wheels, wind mills, observatories, and clocks

AI Falah School

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.

AI Kharj Royal Saudi Air Force Complex (a.k.a. Technical University)

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.
