THE INT. FAIR AND MUSEUM OF PROHPET’S BIOGRAPHY AND CIVILIZATION
Adminstrative Capital, Egypt
- This prestigious project serves as a gateway to the profound heritage of Islamic culture and history, focusing on the life and legacy of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
- Designed as a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, the museum showcases a rich narrative through interactive exhibits, advanced multimedia technologies, and architectural elements inspired by Islamic aesthetics.
- Situated in Egypt, this branch of the global initiative celebrates the timeless message of peace, knowledge, and coexistence.
- The architecture captures the essence of spirituality and innovation, inviting visitors into a space that is as educational as it is inspiring.
- The thoughtful integration of cultural motifs and sustainable design principles ensures the museum not only preserves the past but also represents a beacon for future generations.
- As the lead architect for the interior concept, my focus was on crafting an experience that transcends mere observation.
- I designed the interiors to evoke a deep sense of reverence and holiness, using textures, materials, and spatial arrangements to guide visitors on an emotional journey.
- Each element was meticulously chosen to engage the senses, from the tactile qualities of surfaces to the interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the spiritual atmosphere.
- By prioritizing how visitors interact with and feel the space, I aimed to ensure the museum becomes not just a place of knowledge but a profound experience that lingers in the hearts and minds of all who enter.

HERITAGE
Our Participation in the Azbakiya Heritage Park Development Project Architectural design competition for the wall kiosks of Azbakiya Park for Egyptian university students Competion group project.
- We have sought modernity and development while remaining sensitive to identity and aligned with heritage.
- Undoubtedly, language is thought, it is identity, it is our past, and it is our present.
- Our faith is centered on our identity and heritage at the heart of our language.
- This was a driving force towards establishing principles and foundations—a modern ideology that preserves identity and heritage.
- It is expressed that linguistic and architectural approaches are the formative element of the project and its functional legacy.
- Thus, design models were proposed to achieve optimal functionality and visual identity.
- A suggestion was made to merge forms in two ways: one involves configurations with structural flexibility and assembly, and the other involves designing modern facades with a unique and contemporary style.
Neighborhood Design
Al-alamain, Egypt Group project
- Lead a team of 10 through out a semester to design this project. Made a report and case studies about urban housing and the main points should be achieved to design a project to achieve maximum wellfare of residence.
