tiamat transforms gothic arabic types and sand formations
For almost a decade, AAU ANASTAS researched historical past Stone structure to revive its implementation in modern constructions. Together with his examine Stone Issues, the Palestinian observe was significantly within the politics of the fabric's potential to create constructions with a lowered carbon footprint and extra resilient cities. On this context, the newest model of the Stone Issues, Tiamat, was not too long ago revealed at Design Doha Biennale Arab Design Now exhibition, as a partially enclosed limestone micro-architecture from Bethlehem.
Tiamat invitations viewers to stroll via the shadowy enclosure that transforms components of Gothic structure, desert sand formations and stereotomy methods. Setting new requirements for modern stone structure, rooted in Arab historical past and id, they unite the intrinsic geometric properties of surfaces impressed by sand dune ridges, ribbed constructions and vaulted programs.

aau anastas suggest modern stone constructions
Stone Issues' analysis, led by Elias and Yousef Anastas, retrospectively analyzes paradigmatic purposes and theories established within the 1960s, the 17th century, and prehistory. At each second of time, stone demanded an intuitive structure; “Its historical past will not be linear, and in some instances theories could have adopted and/or contradicted already established and established practices of structure.” write the architects.
With Tiamat, AAU ANASTAS studio it hyperlinks methods, historical past and know-how to current an enclosure that mixes historic stone-working methods with fashionable applied sciences. Its proportions seek advice from a cavity the place architectural atmospheres are distinctive to stone building by way of mild, sound reverberations, local weather management and textures. Past this, the system casts a wider lens into combining theoretical and pure methods, types and rules to recommend new methods of utilizing pure materials right this moment.
