Project Title: Nomadic Corporation Hotel and Business Hub Student Name: Maisa Jarjous Level: Fifth Year Course: Architecture Advisor/Instructor: George Katodrytis Principal Investigator: George Katodrytis Department/School: Architecture Department, American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates Summary description of project: A series of sections was generated from a kinetic device tracing Bezier curves of moving particles. These slices were then stacked and interlocked to create a hovering billboard-type thin space of merging parts. Physical models were constructed and then digital models were derived. The unpredictable engagement with these interlocking solids and voids was developed into a business hub and hotel placed by the Creek waterfront a very lively trading part of Dubai. form•Z was used in the initial mapping of movement, sectioning the resulting form, modeling the early diagram of the space, rendering as well as for the digital fabrication and laser cut of the final model. http://www.formz.com/images/jointstudy/pdf/JS2006/JS_Fabrication_Honorable_2005-6.pdf
