01/MOTO-TAXI URBANISM

MOTORCYCLES AS AN URBAN CATALYST WHILE READING ON RIO DE JANEIRO AND THE AREA OF COMPLEXO DA MARÉ, THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES USING MOTORCYCLES, THE SO-CALLED MOTOTAXIS BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN THE EXISTING LEGAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THE SOMEHOW INACCESSIBLE AREAS INSIDE THE FAVELAS. THE DESIGN STRATEGY DISREGARDS THE URBAN PLANNERS' MANAGERIAL PERSPECTIVE IN FAVOR OF AN APPROACH THAT EMBRACES THE POPULAR ACTIVITIES AT AND AROUND THE SEVEN MOTOTAXI STOPS INSIDE THE COMPETITION AREA. MOTOTAXI URBANISM ENGAGES IN UTILIZING, REMODELING AND REPROGRAMMING; IT ATTEMPTS TO ENLARGE AND UPSCALE ACTIVITIES THAT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH AND ACTUALLY FOUND AT AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE VARIOUS MOTOTAXIS STOPS. THE PROPOSALS INTRODUCE COMPACT MULTIFUNCTIONAL STRUCTURES WITH TWO MAIN TYPES. THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL PASSAGE BUILDINGS AT PRIME LOCATIONS WITH NUMBERS OF PEOPLE PASSING BY AND THROUGH, SET AS STACKED PUBLIC SPACES ALLOWING FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES. THE OTHER TYPE OFFERS SPECIFIC USES TO THE AREA. THE VISITORS WILL FIND NEIGHBORHOOD LIBRARIES, OPEN AIR MOVIE THEATERS, GYMS, POOLS BUT ALSO LARGE SPORT FUNCTIONS, WHICH ALL TOGETHER ADD A NUMBER OF MISSING ACTIVITIES.

02/MEGALOMANIA GOING MEGA “RELATING THE MEGASTRUCTURE TO THE ISSUE OF THE COMMONS IS A USEFUL EXERCISE TO UNDERSTAND THE SUCCESS ANCE OF WHAT PETER REYNER BANHAM CALLED THE “DINOSAURS OF THE MODERN MOVEMENT”.” ALL THESE LARGE-SCALE CONSTRUCTIONS SUFFERED THE SAME FATE: A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PROMISE OF A LARGE SHARED SPACE AND THE TEMPTATION OF ITS FRAGMENTATION. THIS SERIES OF MEGASTRUCTURES REEXAMINES THE IMPACT OF MEGASTRUCTURES ON THE MOUNTAIN OF MOKATTAM, SITUATED IN THE HEART OF CAIRO AND IT ALSO CONSIDERS THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MEGASTRUCTURE WITH ITS DIFFERENT FORMS AND FUNCTION AND THE CITY OF CAIRO.

05/ALFUSTAT YOUTH CENTER

The Loop The Garden located beside the Citadel and a contemporary art center along numerous pottery shops in Alfustat, Cairo can be seen as an opportunity to transform the area into a productive dynamic public zone and can improve the marginalized settlements by spreading culture and by upgrading the social and mental behaviour of the youth.

It can form a network that serves young people from all social classes, coming from the Art Center and the nearby habitations.

The Youth Center contains workshops, classrooms, an auditorium, a mediatheque and a gym. The remainder of the garden contains a Futsal Court, steppings for outdoor galleries and a bicycle arena.

Two main access points to the site acting as a node.

A ramp system to connect the two main axis of the site.

Creating a spiral mass means more opportunities for a gathering area on the roof.

Final Form.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN

The Center consists of educational functions such as workshops and classrooms that are connected to the communal areas.

A small auditorium can be accessible from the ramp and can be used for film screenings or lectures for the youth.
