Discussion of the master’s thesis titled “Inlay in Architecture: The Role of Inlay in Transforming Abandoned Structures and Demonstrating the Vitality of the Architectural output”.
granted a master degree of Architectural Design on her thesis titled “Inlay in
Architecture: The Role of Inlay in Transforming Abandoned Structures and
Demonstrating the Vitality of the Architectural output”.
The discussion was held on, Monday 26 of June , 2023, in the Department of
Architectural Engineering at the University of Technology.
. The thesis focused on the concept of inlay and its role in changing and transforming
structures, abandoned buildings were transformed into new structures with an
identity and form different from that of the two participating parties.
The thesis aimed to reveal that role and the mechanisms for achieving the grafting of
neglected structures, as well as determining the extent of the vitality of the structure
after applying the grafting.
The thesis concluded by confirming the effectiveness of the grafting formulas with
specific mechanisms and techniques in demonstrating the vitality of the structure .

Master Thesis Discussion Titled “Religious Placemaking Strategies
granted a master degree of Architectural Design on her thesis titled “Religious
Placemaking strategies.”
The discussion was held on Thursday, August 3, 2023, in the Department of
Architectural Engineering at the University of Technology.
The thesis focused on the concept of placemaking within the architectural field on
the basis of its relationship with society, focusing on buildings known as focal
buildings, which include (historical, iconic, and sacred religious buildings) as they
are considered the focal points for society.
The thesis aimed to present the strategies adopted by the architectural designer
with the aim of creating a religious place that enhances its focal character. The
thesis reached the possibility of achieving the focal religious place through a
method of complete loyalty to the original, by applying preservation and
rehabilitation strategies with their various mechanisms, as well as the method of
partial loyalty to the original, and through applying the strategies of encoding,
rooting, and focalisation, according to their different mechanisms.
The study also clarified the method of parallel disconnection from the original,
and through applying the parallel interruption strategy and its various
mechanisms, to conclude the contrast of strategies in achieving balance,
innovation, and achieving focal nature characteristics.
