Executive Report

Graduation Project Report 2020-2021

4.0 Executive Report This is a report submitted as a partial requirement of Graduation Project Fulfilment, and it provides an analysis of the design process through the project starting from the site analysis till the design development and final Product. It contains a summary of all the studied data, all the researches done and all the previous assignments that contributed to the production of the final product.

4.1 RESEARCH & STUDIES The research process started with the gathering of all the needed data about the site, its potential, the studying of the site analysis to create a SWOT Analysis.

Studying the surrounding context and whether it will affect the design theme & concept or not.

Then gathering data about site climate and analyzing it on site to see effect on orientation decisions.

Studying similar projects analyzing them for notes on taken decisions. To set a space program of the whole project.

1.4 DESIGN PROGRESS The concept phase was followed by setting the project plans studying each function and heir relationships within the project along with its requirements. This led to a landscape design and an outdoor zoning to complement the indoor spaces.

1.5 KEY RECOMENDATIONS The project needed to connected with multiple points of in the surrounding thus complementing the new upgrades and renovations already thus paving the way for further plans in the future cultural capital of Cairo.

4.2 RESEARCH & STUDY CONCLUSIONS After gathering and analyzing the studies. A propose draft space program along with vision and objectives required from the project.

This helped in laying the starting ground for a schematic 2D-zoning and a Conceptual Form

4.3 DESIGN APPROACH After several trials on a conceptual 3D Model, the resulted form led to new idea and form of thinking that created a masterplan and by the programmatic concepts where used to add the final touches on orientation and space hierarchy.

The programmatic concepts had a huge effect on the project was mainly contextual and the forces that gave shape to the mass where from the surrounding context.

Soil Type: Based on the World Reference Base for Soil Resources, main Egyptian soil located in lower Egypt zone is Fluvisol soil.

•

Created by deposits of sediments formed from the Nile’s historical seasonal flooding.

•

Texture of soil: fine texture of Loamy clay (ranges from coarse sand to heavy clay)

•

The presence of alluvial deposits means that the soil conditions are poor and require the construction of a raft foundation, or deep pile foundations.

Architectural Program ➢ Problem Definition ➢ Vision and Objectives ➢ Space Program

9.0 Architectural Program 9.1 Problem Definition •

There is no world-class cultural center in the center of Cairo.

•

The need to maintain a cultural, historical identity shapes how our society develops and perhaps play a larger role in the predictability of future development.

•

Spreading the ancient Egyptian civilization benefits Egypt in all fields, supports tourism and the economy, and increases job opportunities.

•

The general direction of the country at present is to support culture, arts and development of the country in various fields, so the presence of the project in that strategic location supports the country's development vision.

9.2 Project Vision Transforming downtown Cairo into a cultural, social and tourism center that spreads urbanization and arts to the whole world.

9.3 Project Objectives •

The project must contain: • • •

Auditorium Exhibitions Seminar Halls

•

Reliance on clean energy, environmental sustainability factors and green architecture.

•

Add a new cultural and technological factor to the region.

•

The project must be iconic and landmark of the region.

•

It must be in line with the cultural, historical and touristic characters of the region.

•

The building is designed in a world-class style with the latest technologies available
