• A4

  I, discovered, that:

  This humble sketch illustrates what I’m talking about: Starting from a square of dimensions a x a, take the diagonal of the sqaure b and draw an arch on one of the diagonals starting points, which obviously its radius is b. Extend one of the sqaure’s sides and draw a new side on [...]

• The All-new enKlosure

  Welcome to the All-new enKlosure.com! It’s been a while since the second phase of enKlosure was down, and it feels good to get back to work! This is the third version of enKlosure - a project I started modestly in May 2004 - and here I am now, as fresh as ever, and more determined.

• Mochaggino

  Not Mochaccino, Mochaggino. It’s like Nescafe, and Nescage, only that Nescage sounds a bit french (Nescajé), and that  Nescage is homemade *hint hint*. Now Mochaggino is homemade too, it’s my way to mess with my coffee, or more accurately waste more time doing it. So, this morning I decided to waste a good bunch of [...]

• More of Zaha

  Well, I don’t know if it’s just me or I’m seeing a lot of Zaha lately! A few years back, Zaha was the Off-The-Wall architect, she still is for sure, but I’m noticing a difference in her approach to representing her work, which I’d call a bit Marketish (!)

  I really dislike writing about the things I dislike. Contradiction. It’s really frustrating, and that’s one of the things Blogs introduced: Online Bitching. What I’m going to say now is not that.
  Naseem blogged this caricature by Osama Hajjaj titled ‘How to get THE Chick in Amman’:

  First impressions: Cool illustration, funny warnings, up-to-date notes. But, it [...]

• The Poetics of Place

  If we claim that architecture is the product of the interaction of culture, society, economy, and environment and that these aspects are vital in giving architecture the fundamental and integral characteristics and continuous existence the distinguish one place from another, then we might understand the sensitive and important role of the architect. I believe that [...]

• Senses

  I think about this every time I catch a flu. I lost 2 senses temporarily, taste and smell (or Gustation and Olfaction). I was wondering how could life be without a sense, or moreover, how could a profession go on without the sense required for it? A lot of people know Beethoven, The Deaf Musician. [...]

• Jebel Hafeet

  Good evening all. We went to Jebel Hafeet (Hafeet Mountain) in Al-Ain last night, it’s the highest mountain in the Emirates (1240 meters), and according to Wikipedia:
  “the greatest driving road in the world” extending to the summit.
  Now the scene is great, but it’s not like the one in Kasab Syria, but compared to the Emirates [...]
