AENG 491: GRADUATION PROJECT

JUVINLE CORRECTIONAL CENTER – YOUTH CENTER

The project focuses on studying and ning the juvenile correc onal centers in Egypt.

A er a whole semester of research, we began to design, st ng by choosing the site in “Zenhom area” which is a low income area in the heart of Cairo. I was responsible for the youth center, which is part of the juvenile correc onal center complex. The youth center created a vital linkage between the juvenile's and community creating a smooth transi on.

The concept of design for the youth center was the reviving & rehabilita on of an exis ng youth center in our site.

AENG 456: CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN STUDO VI KORBA ELEVATION DESIGN

PROJECT III: In Korba “Rames street” there are several historic buildings of architectural importance. In the design of the facade “mixed facade”, I was able to capture the features that make those historic buildings important and significant and apply them to the new facade design in modern development, and since each side of the street has its own ty, meaning one side is modern and the other is classical, it is a id must to respect both sides and design a facade that would fit into the context. By studying the grid of the building facades and understanding the context and the social behavior of people in that area, I was able to create a design that accommodate people’s needs to personalize their space and to enhance the id ty of the street and the corresponding areas, adding a more welcoming and gree ng atmosphere to the street facades.

AENG 455: SMART BUILDINGS AND HIGH TECH ARCHITECTURE STUDIO V DESERT TOWN PROJECT

The purpose of a desert town is to u lize vacant land while making use of the macroclimate of the desert, the proposed site of our conceptual desert town is situated at the Qa ara depression in the western desert of Egypt

The Qattara depression can be seen from the above figure. It will be directly connected to the nearest sea It will be flooded crea ng a large water body that will sustain the proposed town. The water canal linking the Mediterranean and the depression is intended to flow through the site. this entails that electricity will be generated at the core followed by a process of water purific on that releases the rest of the water to canals in the site that leads to the depression.

AENG 454: THE ART OF STRUCTURE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIO VI EXPO PAVILION – THE DOME

‘WhereRingsofStone, BecomeaHome’

Conceptual Model

Project I: This is a group project where we were asked to write a poem about a structure system of our choice, we chose “the dome” and then express it using cardboard only. The model scale is 1:1.

We created a structure that the users see as a 2D form on the ground and they would li it to create their own space.

-The concept is that you create your own home and each home is personalized by its user, so as our structure.

-Moreover, we had to keep in mind several criteria such as vity. stability, soundness,

Stage 1 In this exercise each group chose a structural system to write a story about.

The objective was to fully understand the structure and present it in a different and interesting way.

Moreover, the structure was treated not merely as a structure but as a living organism that affects and gets affected by its surroundings.

Stage 2

In between

The main project is an expo pavilion: The pavilion’s function is to celebrate the structure system the each of us choose.

My concept is the transition from an earthly state to a heavenly state , going through a transition in between There are 5 stages: 1- earthly state (where you feel weight and entrapment) 2- action (struggle thus movement) 3- in between state ( where you begin to understand and reflect) 4- action (acceptance) thus you ascend to another state 5- the heavenly state, where you have a clear vision, and you feel at peaceful and free.

Intergrating architecture and art by creating a sculpture that functions as a pavilion or a space that can be used for seating and shading. The shape is inspired by cubism where movement and fragmentation are key elements. In addition, adding a geometric pattern to provide light as well as interisting eect to the interior space.

This project is a reflection of the place itself, it is a product of layers upon layers of different aspects. In other words, it is created as a response to the peoples’ needs, as well as respecting the surroundings and emphasizing the element of time.

Throughout the years, this area “Al Hussian” has been changing continuously, buildings are added and others are removed, yet they all tend to follow one another, resulting in a natural street pattern. This pattern is a reflection of these changes thus a city was born, and from here comes the phrase “A city within a city”, which is the core of the project. Aslo, giving us a flow that allows us to let the street into the project and enhance social interaction.

This project consists of 2 layers of buildings ( ground and basement), created by the outcome pattern of the streets on a wider scope of this area.

After conducting a site anaylsis, and after interviewing different number of people, a program was developed in order to reach the ultimate functionality and satisfaction of the users.

The building is completely sustainable in everyway (materials, functions, consumption/emissions)

- Solar panels are used on the inclined surface to collect light and convert it to heat, that will heat up the water pipes thus reducing the energy consumed.

My role in this project was to divide tasks and manage all work. I also did the site analysis for the project, and designed the prototype plans for 2 income groups, low and middle income.

A which the design of the master plan was a group collabora on, including the physical model.

REVIVING THE WELSH LANGUAGE THROUGH MYTHOLOGY, MAGIC AND NATURE

Project I: An Architecture of Id

y World Expo Pavilion for “ Identity in the Age of Globalization”

This project entails the design of a World Expo pavilion for a country “Wales” along the theme of “Iden ty in the Age of Globaliz on”. As the world moves towards a global culture, and communica on and informa on exchange has begun to break down socio-cultural boundaries, we are coming upon a me where cultural and n onal id ty needs to be redefined, in order for in to be reinstated. An Expo event is a golden opportunity for countries to exhibit themselves in the light that they desire, pu ng forth the best they have to offer, in an a empt to rec common stereotypical misconcep ons and reinforce perceived strengths, not to men on the economic benefits of po ve representa on.

AENG 352: FORM, SPACE AND COMPOSITION PROJECT II: THE ESSENCE OF KENZO TANGE

Beyond“style”

In the spirit of Kenzo Tange, this building echos his philosophy. the design is very functional, and simple, with a degree of symbolisim. The tower shaped stucture section of the building resembles and eches the nilometer, seen from the opposite shore.The building composition is of pure forms following kenzo’s theories and notions of a pure mass. The building form is assembled in an incremental manner that allows it to expand or contract like a living organism. Technology is integrated within the design in the shading devices to accomodate the users needs. Moreover, the scale of the building is proportionate compared to the site yet it gives a grand, and domanent feel. The materials used in the building are all based on the contrast between rough and smooth surfaces, giving the user a balanced feeling towards the building and its context. The landscape design is very traditional and luxurious, with several seating areas.

The site: The site is located on “Dahab island” Total Area: 1500m2 View: River Nile Orientation: North
