This project explores the feasibility of establishing an architecture school within a desert setting, examining how the inherent characteristics of the dunes can harmoniously coexist with the principles governing human habitation and learning environments. Entitled “Three Dunes & A Roof,” the project signifies the interplay between the dunes and the inhabitable roof and challenges exploring the possibility of an architecture school in such an arid landscape. In Contrast to the extreme conditions of the desert, the architecture school aims to cultivate an environment that fosters delight, interactivity, and the growth of thriving communities capable of mutually supporting one another within this challenging context.
The inhabitable roof serves as a gridded communal framework that organizes various social interaction and leisure programs, effectively creating distinct lifestyles in each neighborhood, while the space between the dunes and the roof gives rise to an uninterrupted academic area, facilitating the flow of circulation between the rooms.
