WAN Commercial Award Winner 2014
The Noble Quran Oasis wins first prize
The Noble Quran Oasis Project has won the WAN Commercial Award 2014 in the future projects category. The jury, consisting of internationally known architects and engineers, including Stephen Pey, selected our project from the five finalists for the award.
The new museum for the Quran, located in the holy city of Al Madinah al Munawarah, makes a contrast to the barren volvanic landscape with its verdant centre like a modern oasis. Embedded in a Wadi, the design exploits the topography of this dried-up stream and allows it to be re-experienced as a newly-formed oasis. The roof of the Nobel Quran Oasis will be constructed as a three dimensional sculpture of simple geometric figures reminiscent of traditional Islamic ornamentation and will be entirely covered with gold photovoltaic elements. The landscape design refers to the classical gardens of the Arab world and illustrates central elements of Quran teaching.
The WAN Commercial Award has been honouring since 2009 the best in international architecture for tourism, museums, etc.

Gerber Architekten are planning the Olaya Metro Station, one of the most modern interchanges for what is currently the worlds biggest metro project. Using this project as an example, Gerber Architekten talked about their experiences with using a combination of various BIM programmes, particularly in the early stages of project development. They explained the strategies required to cope with complex geometries.
The buildingSMART e.V. is the German branch of buildingSMART International and was founded on the initiative of leading German software providers in the planning and construction sector. It is actively involved in the promotion of BIM as a work methodology in planning and building implementation.
This year, the symposium programme consisted of an opening address, followed by lectures and the experiences of working with BIM from various stakeholders in the building industry.
Lecture topics included reports of actual projects as well as the basic principles and the legal implications of BIM, the long-term availability of digital data, BIM introduction within companies, BIM management, training concepts and the use of BIM at universities, concluding with the BIMiD development project. Revit was mentioned, particularly in the project reports, as being the key tool for BIM integration.
BIM has already established itself internationally. Now it is a hot topic among descision makers in Germany buildingSmart

Nobel Quran Oasis
Gerber Architekten are winners in the international competition in Medina
The winners of the international architectural competition of the Nobel Quran Oasis in Medina were announced last week. Gerber Architekten were able to impress the jury with their landscape based design and share the second prize with Ricardo Bofill Taller. They beat several well known international competitors such as gmp and Zaha Hadid. The new Quran museum for the holy city of Medina is a landscaped focal point - an oasis contrasting with the surrounding barren desert landscape. It is imbedded in a Wadi and, in taking up the topography of the dry stream bed, it reinterprets the idea of the oasis. The roof of the Nobel Quran Oasis will be formed from simple geometric forms to create a symbolic three-dimensional roof sculpture covered with golden photovoltaic elements; it recalls traditional Islamic ornamentation. The deliberate placing of landscape zones is derived from the classic garden design of the Arab world and is inspired by the central elements of Quran teaching.

Marktplatz in IC Building of the Ruhr-University Bochum completed
The IC Complex of the Ruhr-University Bochum underwent a two year refurbishment and decontamination programme and reopened in October 2013. This week sees the completion of the interior design by Gerber Architekten. The levels along the central staircase spine are conceived as a market place: a place for meeting, spending time and communicating for the daily life of the IC Complex. The Marktplatz in the IC building now provides 185 m2 of shared workspace with 112 seats. The Eye Catcher emerges from the floor surface, running through the room as a continuous band of colour covering the seating benches and, through occasional dark grey elements, harmonising with the building itself. Three ramps ensure unrestricted access for all students.

A beacon for the Bergisches Land
Gerber Architekten in collaboration with the BHC
The Bergischer Handball-Club 06, formally known as the BHC, has commissioned a needs assessment and feasibility study for an events arena in the Bergisches Land. This arena should serve as a home venue for the region within the Wuppertal, Solingen and Remscheid triangle. The assessment showed that a hall for 5,500 to 7,000 people would be required and the feasibility study has been endorsed by several specialist experts. This arena will be a beacon for the whole region. The study was a collaboration between the Bergischer HC and Gerber Architekten, who will now be intensively involved in taking the planning forward.
At the end of March a panel discussion took place at the Haus Müngsten, during which Professor Gerber personally presented the results of the needs assessment and feasibility study.

King-Fahad National Library in Riyadh completed and Thomas Lücking will held a lecture at german chamber.
After five years of construction we completed the National Library in Riyadh at the beginning of this month. At first sight, the library seems to be a new building but actually it is an extension of the existing cruciform building. Instead of a simple extension, the existing building has been completely enclosed with a new façade at some distance from the original. Not only was the required additional space created but also a respectful distance was maintained in order to give the existing building a dignified setting. The area which had been reserved for the extension is now used to create a public space to bind the library to its urban context. By the end of this year several of the most prestigious architecture media will report on this project. The first article can be read in Bauwelt No. 43.
for the diary: Thomas Lücking will give a talk at the German Embassy in Riyadh on 20th November. He will be presenting the current projects of Gerber Architekten. Thomas is the project manager of the Saudi Arabia projects and director of Gerber Architekten international based in Berlin.

Tele Vue eyepieces come in several variations and focal lengths to match your particular preferences amongst the variables of size, weight, price, eye relief and apparent field of view. They're universally applauded by both amateur and professional astronomers alike, and hold their resale value incredibly well.
The Nagler Type 6 7.0mm is the ultimate in wide angle eyepiece design, with an 82° apparent viewing field that will make you feel as if you're swimming in the view, unaware of your surroundings. It delivers the pinnacle viewing experience for those that deem the view more important than all other factors, and the 7mm Nagler Type 6 does so without massive size. The Nagler Type 6 formula is based on the original Nagler design, but squeezes a bit more contrast, eye relief and true field out of the focal length.
- All glass surfaces are multicoated
- Blackened lens edges enhance contrast
- Fold-down rubber eyecup
- Jaw-droppingly wide viewing fields with great clarity
- Perfectly matched threads for NebuStar & OIII filters

Artistes dazzle crowd
/ 26 March 2012
MUSCAT Top stars from Hollywood, Bollywood and the Arab world assembled under one roof in a rare get-together as the seventh edition of the Muscat International Film Festival (MIFF) got off to a spectacular start on Saturday.
Scintillating performances by Lebanese singing sensation Nancy Ajram, percussion maestro Sivamani and rope dancer Isha Sharvani from India and Omani singer Saleh Zadjali, kept the packed audience glued to their seats till the end.
Meanwhile, organisers of the eight-day event, the Oman Film Society (OFS), said Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor had called off their participation in MIFF citing 'security reasons'.
Dr Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Harasi, Chairman of the Public Authority for Radio and Television, presided over the opening ceremony in the presence of several other dignitaries including ministers, top government officials and heads of diplomatic missions.
Welcoming them, Dr Khalid Al Zadjali, chairman of the festival and OFS, said the annual MIFF had played a key role in developing the film culture in the country.
"A film festival is the first step in a 1,000-mile journey. But I believe the dawn of Omani cinema is fast approaching as we now have the basic infrastructure in place. It may not happen tomorrow, but when you know how to get there that day will come soon enough," he added.
Cinema, he observed, was a gathering point of civilisation, culture and ideas, adding: "Through it we achieve a lot, in the field of human rights, child rights women rights and freedom of thought."
Nancy Ajram regaled the audience with three of her widely popular numbers, while percussionist Sivamani electrified the atmosphere with his unique skills, at times assisted by an Omani musician on the bagpipe. Salah Al Zadjali, the much admired local singer, drew rounds and rounds of applause with his Arabic-Hindi songs.
Rope dancer Isha Sharvani, ably assisted by her troupe, presented a breathtaking demonstration of her acrobatic skills. Other attractions of the evening included a folklore troupe from the Batinah region and stand-up comedian from Korea Wonho Chong, speaking to the audience in both Arabic and English.
Zadjali, the MIFF Chairman, felicitated members of the jury panel led by chairperson Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore.
Several renowned film personalities from around the world were honoured for their contribution to cinema. They included Oscar winning Hollywood actor Forest Whitaker; Omani actor Shaikh Abdullah Al Hosni; Egyptian star Nadia Al Jundi; Moroccan actor Amidou; and Indian actors Nandita Das and Victor Banerjee.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Cancer on the back foot
Cancer cases are falling in the US. For some years, deaths from cancer have been declining. Now the latest report from the federal government and the American Cancer Society shows that overall cancer incidence fell by 0.8 per cent between 1999 and 2005, a first since records began (Journal of the National Cancer Institute, vol 100, p 1672). However, lung cancer rates are rising in women, due to smoking.

President Mohamed Morsy on Thursday 22/11/2012 issued a new constitutional declaration that would bring about retrials of persons suspected of involvement in killing and attempted killing of protesters of the January 25 revolution.
The new constitutional declaration stipulates holding retrials into crimes pertaining to killing and injuring protesters as well as terror crimes committed against revolutionaries under the former regime, said presidential spokesman Yasser Ali.
All laws, decrees and constitutional declarations issued by the president since coming to office on 30 June 2012 are final and unchallengeable by anyone, Ali said.
A new public prosecutor, from members of the judiciary, was appointed for a four-year term, he added.
The new draft constitution will be formed within a maximum period of eight months, instead of six, from the date of the formation of the Constituent Assembly, the president ordered.
No judicial body is entitled to dissolve the Shura Council or the Constituent Assembly, the presidential spokesman said.
The president has the right to take measures necessary to face any threats posed to the January revolution, national unity or security in accordance with the law, the spokesman added.
President Morsy appointed Counselor Talaat Ibrahim as the new Public Prosecutor.

Kostelny to not proceed with re-count procedure
KANE COUNTY—John Countryman, the attorney for Judge Marmarie Kostelny, recently announced that Kostelny has decided not to proceed further with the re-count procedures in a race to win a Kane County circuit judgeship in sub-circuit No. 3.
Countryman said that Illinois law provides for a discovery recount of 25 percent of the precincts in an election where a candidate for one office comes within 95 percent of the vote of the other candidate.
Kostelny had requested that discovery recount, which by the law cannot change the certified results.
The Illinois State Board of Elections on April 18 certified the results showing Donald (DJ) Tegeler the winner by seven votes. The discovery recount showed slight changes in outcomes and questionable ballots in a few precincts. However, Countryman went on to say that in order to proceed to a full and complete recount, "We need to allege that we have sufficient evidence that the outcome would be changed by a complete recount. After a careful review of all of the factors, even though we found differences in the counts that were reported both for and against Judge Kostelny we have determined that those differences are not sufficient to likely warrant a full recount."
In addition to other considerations, Judge Kostelny asked Countryman not to proceed any further in order to avoid taxpayer expense in conducting a full recount of all the votes.
"In my experience, there will always be some minor discrepancies and oversights in the process of conducting elections," said Countryman, a former chairman of the Illinois State Board of Elections. "Most elections are not this close, so this discovery review does not occur. However, generally good and dedicated people are working as election judges, and we believe that they are basically honest. Even though there might have been oversights on their part, we do not believe here they would change the ultimate result.
"Judge Kostelny made clear to me that she wishes to extend her appreciation to her supporters and the voters for both candidates for their support and patience during this process."

3L Lindsay Freedman gets grant from Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation
Lindsay Freedman, a third-year law student and president of the Women's Law Caucus, has received a $500 Armonica law student grant from the Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation. The grant is awarded to one recipient at Oregon's three law schools who demonstrates a commitment to the foundation's goals.
The winner is matched with a female judge or attorney who serves as the student's mentor for one year. Freedman's mentor will be Oregon Court of Appeals Judge Darleen Ortega.
Freedman, who also is event coordinator for the Jewish Law Society, plans several projects this academic year to reach out to different groups of students: a mentoring program for youths from Willamette Academy interested in legal careers; a symposium on motherhood in the law; and a writing contest for middle and high school students.
"I feel really humble to be recognized by an amazing group of people advancing women's issues in the law," Freedman said. "It's fueled me to work that much harder for these events and anything else that I can get involved in."
