Graduation Project 2020/2021

1.0 Introduction Many of our cities are rapidly growing and overpopulated because of increasing of urban dense, as cities are always changing.

In Egypt, we see reflection of that changing in the expanding of the construction of the new cities, from here comes the need for change and restructure the system of informal markets located within the capital (Souq Al Sabtieh - Faggala Market - Al Gomhoria Market - Shaq Al Thoban Market... etc.) which caused many negative effects to the traffic, urban environment, and others.

1.1 PROJECT BRIEF It is a commercial and administrative project specialized in exhibiting & selling Building materials and finishes, with total area 25000 m2 in Badr City.

Fig.1.1 Existing Materials Markets in downtown.

1.2 PURPOSE The main idea aims to consist of an Economic Nucleus by establishing a construction city “CityCon" including many of informal markets of Cairo, that would reduce pressure in the current markets, and that support the establishment of new cities, with suppling and servicing requirements of construction materials and finishes in those new cities.

2. Site Selection 2.1 The Site Selection Criteria That are 6 points explaining the criteria of the site selection process. It is including, what the selected site should have.

IN A NEW CITY & NEAR TO EMERGING CITIES

ACCESSIBLITY

AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES

Site Criteria

NEAR TO AN INDUSTRIAL AREA

Transportation

visibility

1. IN A NEW CITY & NEAR TO EMERGING CITIES Being the site in a new city and near to the new cities, that would support the establishment of new cities, with suppling and servicing requirements of construction materials and finishes in those new cities.

2. ACCESSIBLITY A major factor is having a site that easily accessible form more than one main road. A place, that does not have crowded streets, clean and not damaged streets.

3. Transportation Easy transportation means to and from the site. It would be beneficial for the site to be reached by all transportation means like cars, buses, and monorail in near future. Available transportation to and from the airport could be beneficial for the visitors.

4. visibility A positive trait is for the site to be visible from afar when accessing the site.

5. NEAR TO AN INDUSTRIAL AREA it is preferable to be in a n industrial area, to provide the site with products and materials for the sellers in the project.

6. AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES Availability of services is important for any site. Services like mosques, hospitals for any emergency happened in the site, restaurants, or cafes, hotels.

2.2 S.W.O.T. Analysis

Strengths

Weaknesses

Opportunities

Threats

- The site is in a new emerging city “Bader City”.

- It is about (58 km) far between the new site and the old sites of markets.

- The site is near to the New Capital (18.6) km

there are residential areas near the site, that it will have negative effects from the site.

- Bader city is located on “Suez – Cairo” Rd, which consider an important regional transport Road.

there is industrial region next to the site.

- it is necessary to have a private car to go from the old to the new site, as no public transportation.

There are several new cities located near the site “shorouk – New Heliopolis – fifth settlement ….”

2.3 S.W.O.T. Analysis Outcomes It is in new emerging city, so the project will be an important Economic Resource for the city and its development.

It will support the establishment of all near new cities “Al Shorouk, Fifth Settlement, Tenth of Ramadan City, Rehab and New Heliopolis,”, and servicing requirements of construction materials and finishes in those new cities.

It connects to the Cairo-Suez Rd, which provides easy access and transportation to the new markets.

It is about 18.6 km near the new capital, which will be a big support for the project in future.

It is necessary to support the city with public transportation, to link it with all regions.

3. Site Analysis 3.1 Climate considerations 3.1.1 Temperature Range

Source: Climate Consultant

Fig.3.1.1. Temperature range in the site.

Conclusion: - From November to March the temperature is lower than the comfort zone so the building should be isolated from the outside weather.

- From April to October the temperature is higher than the comfort zone so the need of good ventilation and is a must.

3.1.2 Wind velocity

Source: Climate Consultant

Fig.3.1.2. Wind velocity in the site.

Conclusion: - The average wind speed in the site is 3m/s so the cross-ventilation solution is possible to achieve.

Conclusion: - Need for sun shading in summer due to the hot sun light.

- The need of a horizontal sun shading at the southern elevation at the angle 50.

- The need of a vertical sun shading at the western elevation at the angle 60.

These solutions are required in summer.

For six months of the year the climate there is very pleasant – comfortable enough to stroll and sit outside – that has inspired a sequence of public routes and squares in which the barriers between inside and outside are dissolved. That is open at night as well as during the day, these new spaces provide an important central place in the city during festivals and celebrations and are cooled naturally.

For the remainder of the year, the spaces can be enclosed by roof panels that slide into place to enable the internal environment to be controlled more closely.

The design of the panels is based on octagonal forms, which reference both traditional zellij tilework and more recent research into mathematical geometry.
