El centro cultural islámico es un proyecto ubicado en el punto comercial y educativo más importante del distrito de Magdalena, en la ciudad de Lima. Se trata de un centro cultural que buscar darle una identidad arquitectónica propia a la comunidad musulmana para distinguirla y caracterizarla en Lima. Asimismo, cumple la doble función de elemento integrador entre los miembros de la comunidad musulmana de Lima y entre los miembros de esta comunidad con la sociedad limeña con una identidad más flexible y amplia para subsistir no sólo en el ámbito religioso, sino también en lo cultural y social. / The Islamic cultural center is a project located in the most important commercial and educational point of the Magdalena district, in the city of Lima. It is a cultural center that seeks to give its own architectural identity to the Muslim community to distinguish it and characterize it in Lima. Likewise, it fulfills the double function of an integrating element among the members of the Muslim community of Lima and among the members of this community with the Lima society with a more flexible and broad identity to subsist not only in religious sphere, but also in cultural and social sphere. / Trabajo de investigación

Why this proposal makes sense... The aim of this project is to research the relationship between a mosque and the functions of a community center. It is located between Tensta and Rinkeby, two suburbs in the north of Stockholm. I believe that the two areas can gain a lot by a shared community center due to both positive and negative similarities. The proximity to Järvafältet and Kista is a great plus in the equation. Kista is another suburb in the Järva area and it has been a huge success with regards to education, entrepreneurship and the IT-industry that re- sides there. My goal was to create a contemporary mosque that stays true to Islamic architectural concepts while I develop a new aesthetic language for the spaces that a mosque requires. How can we use the mosque as an attracting catalyst in order to reach out to the inhabitants in these areas? A lot of people in Järva have roots in other parts of the world. There are a lot of vibrant communities from all over the world in Tensta and Rinkeby. People have great respect for faith and religious matters and consider it to be a major part of their identity. What spaces can a mosque share with the community center for opti- mal use and convenience? My proposal takes into consideration that a mosque has a limited num- ber of days during the year when the worshippers need all the space that they can get. I have therefore proposed to put the mosque next to the sports hall so that the sports hall can be used for prayer and spiritual activities during special events such as the month of Ramadan and Friday prayers. When the sports hall is not used by the mosque it goes back to being just a regular sports hall with an intricate roof. What makes it a community center? To make the project more compelling I have added other functions in order to address the needs and wishes of the inhabitants. There is also a library, a food court, lecture hall/cinema, offices, conference rooms, seminar rooms and a class room.

Filosofin bakom Mora Kulturhus är att det ska vara en plats som ska bjuda in dess besökare för att samlas och uppleva kreation och rekreation. Det ska vara  en plats som får människor att koppla av för att koppla ihop. Genom de mest primitiva komponenter som förenar oss som dans, sång, konst, eld och stjärnhimmeln.  Den valda platsen för projektet är en öppning i skogen mellan Kallfors och Järna. Denna plats är i dagsläget tom och outnyttjad. Det finns goda  kommunikationer till platsen såsom bilvägen (Tvetavägen), välkänt gångstråk (Sörmlandsleden) och en busshållsplats (Pärlängsvägen). Nära till tomten finner man även Logsjön samt Moraån som slingrar sig längs tomten. Genom att aktivera denna plats skapas ett naturligt kommunikationsflöde mellan Kallfors- och Järnabor som i dagsläget upplever en separation sinsemellan.  Programmet innefattar teater, galleri, bibliotek, restaurang/café/bar, foajé, workshoplokal, möteslokal och kontorsrum. Mora Kulturhus är uppdelad i tre byggnader i olika höjder som kopplas samman genom utskjutna tak som överlappar och skapar korridorer utomhus. Byggnadernas placering skapar en innergård. Byggnaden lyfts upp av limträ och betong pelare som möter ett kasett-tak i tjäramålad limträ som binds samman genom en metod som kallas “japanese wood joinery” - där varje element sätts fast i infasningar. Golvet är en betongplatta på mark. Fasaden är glasad - för att ge transparens i byggnaden och lyfta fram den spektakulära naturen som omfamnar den. / The philosophy behind Mora Cultural Center is that it should be a place that invites its visitors to gather and experience creation and recreation. It should be a place that makes people disconnect to reconnect. Through the most primitive components that unite us such as dance, song, art, fire and the starry sky.  The chosen location for the project is an opening in the forest between Kallfors and Järna. This place is currently empty and unused. There are good communications to the site, such as the motor way (Tvetavägen), well-known hiking trail (Sörmlandsleden) and a bus station (Pärlängsvägen). Close to the site you will also find Logsjön and Moraån. By activating this place, a natural communication flow is created between Kallfors- and Järna residents who currently experience a separation between each other. The program includes a theatre, art gallery, library, restaurant / café / bar, foyer, workshop space, conference room and office space. Mora Cultural Center is divided into three buildings with different heights that are connected by suspended roofs that overlap and create outdoor corridors. The position of the buildings creates a courtyard. The building is lifted by glulam and concrete pillars that meet a coffer ceiling in tar-painted glulam which are bound together through a method called "Japanese wood joinery" - where each piece of wood is cut in such a way that they fit together as tightly as if they’d grown that way in the first place. The floor is a concrete slab on the ground. The facade is glazed - to provide transparency in the building and highlight the spectacular nature that embraces it.

Although only a few of us have been to the desert, we all have a clear and chromatic image of it. Our mental representation of these landscapes has been formed throughout the years through photographic media and film. A few well known visual and literary works that contributed to the myth of the desert include: Le Petit Prince (1943), Antoine de Saint-Exupéry The Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1926), T.E Lawrence Lawrence of Arabia (1962), David Lean Theeb (2014), Naji Abu Nowar This fascination led to an increase in demand for travel to these mythological places. Such an increase raises particular challenges for the desert and its inhabitants that include a demand for services and infrastructure and an appetite to learn more about the site. The phenomenon creates new issues that require creative solutions and interventions. How can architecture provide spaces as a solution to mitigate these issues? The thesis examines the question in the context of the Wadi Rum Protected Area (WRPA), a UNESCO world heritage site that is located in the Arabian Desert region. It proposes a cultural center that reflects the ecological and cultural significance of the site. The architecture of the building converges elements from the desert with elements from local bedouin culture. The building aims to create spaces for educational opportunities to the bedouin and the tourist in order to enhance the visitor's experiences and enrich the local's knowledge. / Master of Architecture / This thesis examines the issues that are associated with an increase in tourism in the Wadi Rum Protected Area (WRPA), a UNESCO World Heritage site that is located in the Arabian Desert Region. The thesis attempts to provide a solution through architecture and urban planning strategies that include the proposition of educational spaces for the tourist and the local. These architectural spaces have the ability to add value to the tourist's experience and enrich the local community in the future.

El proyecto de la presente tesis se trata de un Centro Cultural en Lima Norte, un espacio de encuentro cívico, en donde la formación y difusión cultural se mezclen con las dinámicas del propias lugar y sus habitantes, por ello, la presente investigación pretende proponer, a través del análisis y diagnóstico, un espacio donde se desarrollen actividades culturales, comerciales y sociales, manteniendo la identidad del lugar y funcionen en base a las necesidades de la zona entendiendo el entorno y enfatizando la importancia del espacio intermedio entre el público y privado, como articulador urbano y educativo, esta propuesta arquitectónica además busca ser una pieza que ayude al proceso de urbanización y consolidación de la “Nueva Centralidad de Lima Norte” como propone el PLAM 2035, con el objetivo de incentivar, activar y potenciar el desarrollo de zonas de la ciudad de modo que tomen el rol de catalizadores urbanos articulados de manera estratégica a escala metropolitana. / The project of the present thesis is about a Cultural Center in Lima Norte, a civic meeting space, where the formation and cultural diffusion are mixed with the dynamics of the place and its inhabitants, for that reason, the present investigation intends to propose, through analysis and diagnosis, a space where cultural, commercial and social activities are developed, maintaining the identity of the place and functioning based on the needs of the area, understanding the environment and emphasizing the importance of the intermediate space between the public and private, As an urban and educational articulator, this architectural proposal also seeks to be a piece that helps the process of urbanization and consolidation of the "New Centrality of North Lima" as proposed by PLAM 2035, with the aim of encouraging, activating and enhancing the development of areas of the city so that they take on the role of urban catalysts articulated strategically at the metropolitan level. / Tesis

This project provides a historical perspective and a comprehensive review of the quantitative and qualitative benefits of green roof technologies and argues that most of these benefits could be represented in the City of Chicago in an educational and interactive site. As a demonstration site, the Chicago Cultural Center rooftop could be retrofitted as such a green roof project. In addition to the normal benefits of a green roof, this high profile site would provide increased awareness of the benefits of rooftop greening in hopes of encouraging future such projects in Chicago and elsewhere. The major barriers to the widespread use of green roof technologies are summarized; creative solutions making use of various green roof technologies are displayed on one prominent, showcase rooftop. / Department of Landscape Architecture
