'Figuring the Figure' is a rejection of known architectural typologies as formal strategies to design. The lecture will review the creation of a visual glossary; specifically the use of the figure in architecture as a design tool to create a language that can be adapted for use in various projects. . Zaid Kashef Alghata is founder of House of ZKA, a collection of architectural explorations that attempt to frame its focus towards existing architectural climates. . For more info: ali.lari@aiamiddleeast.org. This event is open to all. . #bahrain #architects #architect #architecture #build #building #buildings #design #form

GEYSER Making Visible the Invisible . HATCHING Molding Nature to Make Life Possible . Presented by: Fernando Menis . Date: Saturday, 9 Sept 2017 Time: 10:00 - 12:30 PM Venue: D3 Dubai Design District, Mirage Project Point - Building 5, Office B101 . Limited Seats Available. RSVP: christian.vasquez@aiamiddleeast.org. This event is for reservation only. . Fernando Menis is a Spanish Architect, graduated from the Barcelona Institute of Architecture, who also serves as Chairman of the Laboratory for Innovation in Architecture, Design and Advanced Tourism of Tenerife and as a Professor of the EUC (European University of the Canary Islands) and, occasionally, as a guest speaker at International Congresses of Architecture and Universities (such as Harvard, Technical University of Berlin, Columbia University and École Spéciale d'Architecture). . Menis' designs are characterized by being sustainable and adaptable, representing low cost projects combining the natural elements of the urban landscape with architecture. . Concept: An intervention in the rough landscape of the Mleiha desert which aims to make visible the invisible, to celebrate the cycle of life hatching water during the winter time and re-using old oil extraction machinery.Geyser is a celebration of water in the desert (life), an event facilitated by the idea of collected water and motion. . Water Hatching: Geyser is a celebration of the water cycle in the desert, hatching humidity from its daily condensation from brinks and crests of the sand dunes and learning from the past: we take advantage of Paleolithic techniques developed by the citizens of Magan in the area, using the same water collection techniques by digging a system of interconnected wells which will collect water from the rock bed. The water is collected and then pumped using recycled oil pumping structures,the water is sprinkled up into sky. . #dubai #architect #architecture #build #building #water #geyser #desert #MyDubai #landscape #Design #designer
