Tamayouz Award for architectural excellence
Student Category –Iraqi projects
2016 Third Place Winner – Ali Nashwan
Function of the project:
Function of the project: Nano Technology Research Center
The Third Prize goes to Ali Nashwan from Mosul University (in Kirkuk) for his project; Nano Technology Research Centre. Ali’s graduation project was supervised by Professor Ali Haider Al-Jameel. Ali is the only Iraqi student who made it to both shortlists; Tamayouz International (Top 20) and Tamayouz Iraq (3rd Prize) with two different projects, A remarkable achievement coming all the way form Mosul University in such a difficult time.
The Judging Panel Commented on The selection of project function and the site in proximity to a university and described it to be well set up, the project shows good design development and the designer masterfully sets up an appropriate setting for the habitable blocks. The use of geometry is beguiling and sets up a lovely urban condition.

Ali Nashwan describes his project as a Celebration of the process of nanotechnologies.
Nanoscience was discovered through special types of microscopes One of the most important devices that helped the discovery and development of Nanoscience is the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)

Atomic force microscope components and uses
The device consists of a needle (Tip) passing over the surface to be scanned, the needle is installed on horizontal holder (Cantiliever) so that the needle is perpendicular to that holder and perpendicular to the surface at the same time, the holder is rising and falling with rising and falling of the needle according to the terrain in the surface, where the needle read the coordinates of the points of the surface to be scanned and give them to the computer to form a three-dimensional surface and zoom it in millions of times. When the needle is approaching from the sample surface, a force between the needle head and the surface of the sample is generated and this leads to a deviation of arm and read the surface.
The resulting forms after the scanning process is a 3D spherical forms and often vaulted surfaces similar to the moon.

Generation of Design idea generated according to previous data:
The basis of the design idea is the (AFM), there will be a contact between the (AFM) device and the surface of the sample, Where the Earth's surface is the surface of the sample and the blocks above the ground is the scanning device (tip, cantilever).
In order to simulate the forms of scanned surfaces and get similar forms on the ground surface of the project, Laboratories placed underground to get the topography of the earth surface by natural skylight as shaped domes, and making a big hole with a circular shape for getting topography where there's a tip descends in the middle of the hole., And an outside laboratories and seating areas in the form of domes have been made. The building is consists of three cones each cone represents the (tip) on the surface of the sample in a particular position.

The building is consists of three cones each cone represents the (tip) on the surface of the sample in a particular position.
The building also consists of three rectangles each rectangle reflects the case of the device during its movement over the surface, The self-similarity strategy has been used in the formation of the project, which meets in the context of the scale nanoscale. Which cannot be seen only through microscopes on the one hand and pictures of the universe scale of space on the other hand, which can only be seen through a telescope, where the surfaces of nanoparticles is similar to the surfaces of the space and the moon.
The same material has been used to cover inside and outside parts of the building, by using nanotechnology to process the surface of the material to become suitable for exterior and interior use. Also the function side were taken big space from the design. And I used the type of lab building.
