A story of an ARCHITECT………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….HASHEM, FATMA

CARACALLA THEATER

University Project

Theater of Caracalla dancing school on a lot located in front of Jupiter Temple in Baalback, creating a big constrain: An ancient city with a main element: the "Columns of

Baalbeck Temple" that lead to the concept: creating contemporary columns that explain the contemporary architectural abilities and show the contemporary image of this city.

Sustainable university dorms for USJ students in Beirut City

University Project

The concept was creating two architectural volumes connected in

function with bridges separated visually for the reasons:

Creating a block low in height at the road side to maintain the city

image and the street human scale perspective.

Creating two units that can work in parallel and together at the high

season when university is open, then using one of them at the low

season for less electrical/services consumption by compacting the

life in such a little community in summer instead of turning it to “ghosts

building” for the students who decide to stay when university is

closed, to maintain a healthier environment socially and economically

in all days of the year.

ECO TOURISTIC CENTER

University Senior Project

After noticing the population map of Lebanon, we can conclude that individuals tend to choose living towards the coast instead of the inner cities. One of the main reasons

of this phenomena is the unbalanced and unequal development in the country, leading me to choose a senior project of social and economic dimensions to reach a minimum

of a requested decentralization.

At the same time, the project had to be linked to a real problematic to determine its kind and function, not to be artificially installed but naturally needed .

The SDATEL has settled a plan for the coast population problem by determining two major internal areas to work as metropolises balance to what they called “METROPOLES

D’EQUILIBRE DU SUD ET DE LA BEQAA”- Nabatieh for south and Chtaura Zahle for Beqaa

At the time, “Meis Castle”, the neglected beautiful old heritage and not mentioned on the touristic map, was the attraction to build an “Eco Touristic Center” that could revive

the cities and their heritage, and notice them.

Villa Baskinta

AetA Office

The concept is to save the identity of the place-Baskinta

Mount-Lebanon.

Building peacefully around nature, preserving the woods.

The idea was, instead of expending the built up, Villa

Baskinta became a part of nature through the integration with

nature and the surroundings, respecting trees locations,

levels, slopes and the general view of the woods in the area.

Municipality and SchoolHalat

AetA Office

A competition winning Project,

The Concept was to create a real

public space with public accesses

by connecting the road with Halat

Public River. The project plot

separated these two road and river

but the project recombined and

unioned.

Playgrounds, sports courts and isles

all had public access without

neglecting, instead maintaining, the

security of all built up areas.

HYALUAL Institute Free Lancing Project

Design

Designing a beauty institute sales office, the project is located in Damour-Lebanese coast.

Three main functions were requested from the client: The exhibition -The Office - The Meeting Room

The main constrain of the project was designing these functions in a very small area that do not exceed 50 m2 in addition to services

The concept was creating multi-functional areas and separations

The separations between functions were light and 2 sided use

Exhibition area was separated from the meeting room by the two sided boxes that can be used as an exposition at the exhibition and files shelves at the meeting,

Meeting room was separated from The office by light glass partitions to be able to combine the two or create privacy when needed.
