“I am Mohamed Atta, an Architecture graduate from Faculty of Fine Arts Architecture Department. I am a creative and enthusiastic individual, with the intent to work in an environment that pushes the current limits of my abilities, motivation and imagination.

My academic progression towards architecture has given me opportunities to explore new ideas and learn about various design and composition theories. I am a keen observer of People, Architecture, and Cities and have always tried to put forward my understanding and perspective through concepts, sketching, photography, and documentation.

Looking forward to utilize the design and decision-making skillset that I have developed during the past five years of architecture school and seek opportunities to further learn, refine, and grow as an architect.”

LANDSCAPE INTEGRATION

Creating integrated spaces between site landscape elements such as softscape, hardscape and external arenas for holding festivals, mawlids and annual gatherings that are held in Minya

Site Diagrams

According to the the previous landuse in terms of it being a national park, it has now become neglected and occupies a large area and an important location in relation to Minya and its view of the Nile. It is considered the connecting point between the new city of Minya and the old city so re-planning and coordinating the natural site elements was an important task to be considered.

• Creating integrated spaces between site landscape elements such as softscape and hardscape

• Creating a secondary entrance from the Nile and its promenade that extends along the city, making the project a checkpoint within the tourist path of Minya

• Creating external arenas for holding festivals, mawlids and annual gatherings that are held in Minya and relying on the cultural factor in developing and targeting the economic aspect of the park and the city

• Considering the project form as being part of the site coordination elements by using the appropriate materials and exploiting the solid parts of the form to add the hardscape element to the site

• Creating approaches to the main entrances to the building from the main entrances and streets of the site, using appropriate materials, and linking them with the movement paths of the garden

10 Cinema Museum

Academic - Architectural Design - 3rd grade

“Cinema is an order made out of the chaos of life.” According to this conclusion, I tried to implement 3 main ideas: “Chaos and order, motion, and sequence of events.” In order to achieve these ideas, the museum scenario was defined from a social and political perspective and the extent of its connection and impact on the film industry in Egypt, in addition to creating a combination that embodies the interconnectedness between the state of order and chaos in a geometric way which is the effect of “The Fall of Dominos”.

Timeline

Egyptian cinema, often called Hollywood on the Nile, is a thriving industry deeply rooted in the heart of Cairo. This fascinating domain results from over a century of creative endeavors, producing thousands of films reflecting the country’s rich culture and history.

Egypt’s cinematic journey can be traced back to 1896, with the production of limited silent films. By 1927, the industry had taken a significant turn with the release of the first-ever full-length feature film, Laila. The advent of sound in films further bolstered Cairo’s film industry, turning it into a regional powerhouse.

Due to the varying eras and developments in the Egyptian film industry, the eras were divided into 9 periods, with each period representing a zone and a strip of the project’s form in the museum for the simulation process as follows:

1. Lumière brothers “December 28, 1895”

2. First Egyptian movie “يليل” “November 16, 1927”

3. Sound film “March 12, 1930”

4. World War II “1939 - 1945”

5. Palestine war “1947–1949”

6. Egyptian Revolution of 1952 “July 23, 1952”

7. Six-Day War “Jun 5, 1967”

8. 6th October war “October 6, 1973”

9. El-Sadat Assassination “October 6, 1981”

Academic - Architectural Design - 2nd grade

Cairo, Egypt 2020

Describing unity as the way in which the different elements of a composition interact with one another. A unified layout is one that works as a whole rather than being identified as separate pieces, By using repetition with design elements such as components and symbolic colors, the user becomes better at identifying what they mean each time they see them, thus reducing cognitive load. Considering creating visually consistent design elements as elements are related to one another and utilizing the views from the site helps to define and shape the building in levels of importance and priority.

Beyond functionality, creating an environmental design strategy in accord with the climate of Egypt. One of this feature includes the wooden vertical fins of the facade that has become a multi-mediator between the exterior and the interior. In calculating the sun angle and its cycle, the dimensions of each fins was calibrated to resolve the orientation of the sun’s ray in all directions. More than a shading device it also acts as a passageway for natural ventilation, and a privacy filter from the neighbouring residences.
