tb2caad 🔁 : Nora Zeid is a Visual Communication Alumni, graduated in Spring 2018 and is currently Creative Designer at Abjad Design studio. The following project “Future Designer” made in collaboration with Mariam Al Zayani, was one of Nora’s most memorable projects during her time at CAAD. Since the birth of digital age design in the 80s, the world has witnessed drastic changes in design technologies and their capabilities. Amid fast–moving design technology and trends, questions on the role of the designer emerge: what is the future of the designer? Future Designer is an interactive installation. The poster represents the designer’s old place of work. When one places a card on the poster and scans it with an AR application, an animation plays over the poster showing how technological changes have changed the designer’s workplace. Everything was animated pixel by pixel in order to stay true to the art style chosen. “The reason this is my favourite project because it’s engaging on several levels. Everyone can enjoy it. A child would appreciate it because of the animation and sounds which are reminiscent of vintage video games, and an academic would be engaged just as much by the message which welcomes discourse and thoughtful debates on what the place of designer is! Mariam and I believed it was important for the project to be accessible to everyone. And we succeeded in that without having to compromise the concept!” Course: VIS406 Professor Pascal Zoghbi #caadaus #caadalumni #alumniseries #viscom #visual #augmentedrealoty #interactivedesign #installation #creativeprocess #digitalage #designtech #futuredesigners #posterdesign #arapplication #animation

#tb2caad 🔁 Dalia Aldubaisy, Interior designer Alumni, Fall 2018: It was a bittersweet moment leaving CAAD and not being surrounded by the environment which made me who I am today. After graduating I moved back to Saudi Arabia, where I started working at an architectural firm to start my journey and to build myself even more with real life experience. A while later I moved to a more challenging creative job where I challenged myself in events setups and pop ups. Learning is a process that never ends, and CAAD was the just the beginning. Jutha’a, 2017 جذّع Charred Red Oak, Satin Polycrylic H 32cm x W 45cm x D 103cm The porto-piece explores the idea of heaviness vs lightness through its solid base and thin top. The outer layer of the table is charred to resemble how a tree is again and when its peeled the inside reveals its natural grains of wood. The function of this piece is a low majlis table that is used and a mabkhar.

I am currently working at X-Architects, winner of the 2019 Aga Khan Award for Architecture, and would like to give small tips to the graduating class and CAAD students in general: given the regional and worldwide circumstances, it is important not to lose your motivation while applying for jobs. Be patient and work on personal projects, ask professors for their advice, crucial is to use your network to get feedback on the current opportunities in firms, ask about their experiences.

GHARZA’s concept refers to stitching a grove of trees onto a desert-representing canvas, which achieves a cohesion between desert and vegetation. The elements of the project from planters, seating, ground plane, and the grove all together work to challenge the conventional notion of architecture and space. #CAADSquad #WeAgreeto6Degree #DontAskMeAskTheGrads #caadgrads #caad #caadaus #caadevents #landscapedesign #courtyard #fields #instaarchitecture #architecturedesign #archilover #designbuild #creativelife #architecturestudent #desert #vegitation #planters #spaces

🎓 #sixdegrees Designers: Niyousha Manouchehri & Fatemeh Shafiei Instructor: Camilo Cerro Project Title: School of Interior Design The project involves designing of an Interior Design School located at the American University of Sharjah. The school consists of 3 floors with a terrace that can be used as a multifunctional space. The main goal of this design is to have a sustainable, dynamic and functional school within the existing conditions of the building. Our design achieves these goals by breaking the linearity of the building with a cross perpendicular space while giving color codes to every space in the school. #CAADSquad #WeAgreeto6Degree #DontAskMeAskTheGrads #caadgrads #caadaus #caadevents #interior_design #designstudio #designgrad2020 #designboom #designproject #designschool #multifunctional #designstudents #sustainability #colorcoding #spaces #building
