This work is very dear to me,
because it reminds of where I
started from and where I have
reached today. It may seem to
be insignificant now, however, it
taught me the basics of design,
and everything that I learned later
on was building on this foundation.
It taught me how to decide on
a theme and to incorporate it
throughout my design, and I
believe this is one of the most
important design skills to have.
This can be seen in the tiny paper
living room (Bends) and the art
gallery using very basic tools:
papers, cutter, ruler, & glue.

Unlike seasonal sources of power such as wind or solar power, volcano is
a highly potential source of constant geothermal energy which is as natural and
sustainable. Deriving from volcano, concept of lava is used to create a very organic,
flowing design to connect elements of interior such as columns and furniture
throughout the whole coffee shop.
The idea of energy extends greatly towards the functionality through
solar panels which store charges to power the Tesla lightning chamber which
is a focus design element that represents the excessive energy burst. Also the
environmentally energetic solar power glass, which tracks the sun’s movement and
concentrates the sun light on the solar cells to effectively collect energy, the solar
cells are connected to barriers which store energy that can be used in heating the
water in the kitchen and the bathroom.

Therapy is a subject that is approached differently in different parts of the world. people in the Middle East perceive therapy as a solution for mental illness. This is seen as something negative and frowned upon. However, “The new generation is beginning to accept therapy as something positive and beneficial for everyday life.” (Dr. Azar, a registered Clinical psychologist and the Director of Dubai Community Health Center).
People have been practicing different forms of therapy for ages, different ways to solve psychological and relationship instabilities. Family therapy or what can be called “relationship education” is a social practice where the therapist meets the family members to figure out the causes of conflict. the goal is to strengthen the family structure. Can design assist in the acceptance of therapy? Design has an impact on therapy, and it could change people’s perceptions of what therapy is. More than 1,000 studies proved that well-designed spaces can reduce stress and anxiety, and can have a positively remarkable impact on the patient outcomes (McCullough, 2001, p.111). Families in the UAE face many problems and divorce rates are increasing. This could weaken the UAE community structure. (Sharjah Supreme Family Council, Sheikha Jawaher). therefore, the UAE community should pay more attention to family issues and try to find solutions. One solution could be building more regionally organized family therapy centers.
the analogy of a family to a tree is well known; root systems, branches, leaves – all related yet distinct. Nature as a healing element is also well known: spaces with good access to natural light or natural views are more pleasant to be in, and can help people heal from injury faster. When considering my senior thesis, I wondered if a family therapy center (a somewhat new idea for Dubai) could be designed in such a way to reinforce the idea of connectedness and expand on the analogy that a family is like a tree. I believe that my family therapy center, The Enlightenment Center, is not only innovative but also needed. Family structure can break down for many reasons, and a place that is for families to heal within themselves and for families to communicate with one another should be welcome in any community. I employed three healing elements: nature, music and art. Nature has always had its own special music, and art can be a reflection of nature. They both originate with nature. The flow of the space guides the visitors to discover different healing areas, the art display area, the blue sky area, the indoor garden with water features, and the music with nature area. The journey ends at the therapy rooms where talk therapy takes place.
