High-Temperature Melting Waste

Mohamed Rowaizak

Mohamed Rowaizak is a UAE-based architect whose passion lies in blending heritage, materiality, and technology. His project with the UAE Year of Sustainability processes discarded materials through high-temperature melting, akin to the Earth's gem crystallisation process. This metamorphosis creates iconic surfaces with intricate textures, drawing inspiration from regional architectural features like the Muqarnas. The project breathes new life into overlooked materials, offering fresh perspectives at multiple levels: surface, object, and collection.

Throughout his career, he has always prioritised the use of environmentally-friendly materials and processes, taking on commissioned projects from different organisations and institutions, all while exploring materials and their relationship with natural and urban environments.
