SOTI (Sharjah Oasis for Technology and Innovation)
In our project, we are introducing a new definition or type of modern Islamic architecture. Our headquarters building reflects the idea of simplicity, which is a symbol of beauty itself. We start with the concept of a simple rectangular shape and muqarnas, enlarging its scale to view it as a complete building rather than just a piece of decorative element. Then, we introduce openings within the muqarnas itself to create a new type of arches, more geometric in nature. Moving the muqarnas to the top, we aim to modify it to resemble the shape of sand dunes, creating a dome with a completely new and modern style, adorned with Islamic calligraphy. Finally, extending the sand dunes, we arrive at the formation of a modern interpretation of a barjeel at the front of the building.
