Al Fateh – Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics

Maths and stats. At Uni, I’d steer clear of the Maths Faculty because I always found the folks there rather strange and aloof (no offence to Maths grads. Maybe it was just my Uni. Feel free to be offended only if you were from the University of Queensland). However, here’s a Maths Faculty that I’d damn well want to visit someday.

These 3D designs are the works of H&B Design Studio – a firm that focuses on interior design, product design and architectural design projects (more images after the jump). The firm was established by Hasan Deniz (architect) and Burcu Gürsaf (interior designer) in 2005 and has worked on a wide range of design experience consisting of commercial, public, cultural and educational interior design. While functionality in spatial and product design is a priority, a conceptual approach depending on dynamic and innovative principles of creation has been considered as the means to achieve inventive design.

Here’s what Burcu said to me in his email on the Al Father – Faculty of Maths and Stats project:

In the interior design .. a neutral approach was taken as a guide throughout the whole interior design process. Because the building in architectural means was rich in details and had a rather sophisticated language than a plain one, in the interiors a neutral and plain approach was followed in order to provide balance to the whole. This neat design was also done in a way to coincide and overlap with the lean elements of architecture defining spaces, ending up with a unified design in interior spaces. Every functional and decorative element of architecture such as windows, ceiling systems, diffusers and lighting devices as well as tilings were treated not as seperate members but as units of a whole design and are put together in harmony. A readible system in the application of unitary elements was taken into consideration, the rules of which was easy to follow to the eye

Here are some 3D images of H&B’s design for the new Al Fateh Faculty of Maths and Stats. I especially love the cafeteria design.
