Brise soleil*
We encourage all students from universities from the ARAB region to explore methods for innovative geometrical
exploration of the traditional Islamic and/or Arabian forms of sun filtering architecture. The exploration should
respond to an example of your choice.
Brief
Deadline
Friday 4 June 2010; 23:59 GMT.
Evaluation Criteria
The submissions will be evaluated based on 3d modelling ability, quality in discovering the underlying geometries of the selected brise soleil, and in particular, great weight will be placed on the student’s demonstration of creativity and innovation.

Geometry in Architecture and Building Design
The GEO-ARAB-DESIGN group is a network of professionals from architectural and engineering practices, academia and industry. Our mission is to promote design and technological excellence and explore local identities through the exploration and innovative applications of geometry.
GEO-ARAB-DESIGN believes that geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the final construction. Modern geometric computing provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacturing of complex shapes.

Brise soleil*
We encourage all students from universities from the ARAB region to explore methods for innovative geometrical
exploration of the traditional Islamic and/or Arabian forms of sun filtering architecture. The exploration should
respond to an example of your choice.
Brief
- Document an existing traditional permanent sun-shading architectural element;(e.g. روشان roshan; مشربية
mashrabiya; منجور mangor; شناشيل shanashil.....) - Graphically demonstrate the underlying geometries discovered within the object;
- Innovate – give your brise soleil a ‘heartbeat’ - through modification (e.g. of scale, material, function, movement, etc), find a way to make your object come to life. Alternatively, you may design a contemporary evolution of the selected
traditional brise soleil.
Deadline
Friday 4 June 2010; 23:59 GMT.
Evaluation Criteria
The submissions will be evaluated based on 3d modelling ability, quality in discovering the underlying geometries of the selected brise soleil, and in particular, great weight will be placed on the student’s demonstration of creativity and innovation.
Format
- 1-2 minutes of animation and/or video documentary of the exploration;
- A1 size graphic that conveys your exploration and findings (file types: tiff, jpeg, png, pdf, mpg);
- 150 word essay describing the design and its innovative concepts including short explanation of how Architectoral Geometry guided your design (English, no figures, file types: .pdf or .doc)
