/the nomad pavilion//a merge between nature, craft and the sustainable

sabil explained

Sabil is an innovation that attempts to create a closed loop of existence – one that leaves no footprint, one that gives nature time to heal, to regrow, and to flourish. It is a nomad pavilion; an ensemble of geometrical form orchestrated to reflect the fusion of opposite elements to achieve harmony. It is a permeable space serving as a monument that blends with nature in its form and materiality as a result of using local natural materials, water collection and energy efficient space.

The Sabil works on multiple design and sustainability levels,

01.01 GEOMETRY

01.02 WATER COLLECTING TOWER

01.03 SELF COOLING

01.04 MATERIALITY

01.05 STRUCTURE

01.06 THE INSTALLATION @ DESIGN DOHA 2024

As an architect, I aspire to create shelter; a space that one find refuge in.  To build a structure that stands strong against nature yet blends within it. To prove that man-made and nature can once again co-exists in a harmony, to allow our buildings to give back to nature.

The concept for the Nomad pavilion was inspired by the architecture of indigenous Bedouin's tents; one of the earliest shelters to protect nomads from harsh desert conditions, and the structure of Jordan's national flower, the black iris. The main vision is to create a new interpretation of the authentic tent, a structure that blends with its surrounding yet stands out as a calling sanctuary, a shaded oasis, a gathering rest spot and a source of fresh drinking water.
