Description:
The renovation of a building to achieve a multi-proposal distributive space. Two different concepts were applied for the envelope according to the interior functionality and comfort requirements
Changes were made to the vertical circulation to improve circulation and create staying areas for learning and recreation. Different envelope concepts were applied for classrooms and common spaces to ensure visual comfort and reduce solar loads. The renovation hypothesis was simulated to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies used, including opaque envelope insulation, correction of thermal bridges, glazing redesign, and shading elements. The results showed a decrease in temperature and heating demand, as well as a reduction in solar loads. Three typologies of classrooms were considered, and balconies were added as overhangs to improve solar load reduction and achieve prescribed daylight levels.
Adition and subtraction of spaces
Buffer spaces and classrooms re-orientation
Aditional envelop glass shading device
North side angled roof and classrooms typology
Decreasing solar loads through classrooms design
• The overall design for classrooms count with balconies as overhangs of 1.9 mts large for all clasrooms typology and the new shape of the room rotation creates a 4 mts extension as a vertical fin
Indoor air quality (IAQ) and indoor thermal comfort improved
• Openings designed to reach 12,3 volume change per hour in summer cases Allow a correct Indoor air quality and improve the indoor temperature
22% less of solar loads in summer
12,3 volume of air change per hour
Rotation of the classrooms 30° to the north
• Improve classrooms illumination and pedagogical experience
• Afford continued windows
50% area above target for daylight requirement
3. A LONG HISTORY OF DISPLACEMENT AT THE ASWAN HIGH DAM; A STUDY OF GEOPOLITICAL AND CLIMATIC CONTRIBUTORS

Description:
project centres around an investigation into the Long History of Displacement at the Aswan High Dam and the geopolitical and climatic contributors that have led to this history. Through imagined future scenarios, we explore whether this pattern of displacement is likely to repeat itself.
Our work is divided into two panels, one focusing on the Long History of Displacement at the Aswan High Dam and the other focusing on the Geopolitical and Climatic contributors.
In the centre of both panels is a context map of the Nile, highlighting the Nile flood plane pre- and post- Aswan Dam, the seismic activity as a result of the construction of the dam as well as the surrounding topology.
On either side of the map are our two imaged future scenarios for the Aswan High Dam area. Through an investigation into the possible future scenario’s we discovered a landscape of high polarity.
Orbiting around each scenario is a timeline intersecting at the Aswan High Dam territory. Through this timeline, intersecting and travelling in two different directions, we attempt to show the possibility of two different futures.
Both scenario’s centre around the question:
The life-sustaining Nile water’s have been naturally fluctuating for centuries, but how much fluctuation can the landscape sustain?
WATER AS A THREAT (referring to the Flood scenario) and LACK OF WATER AS A THREAT (drought scenario)
4. KHARTOUM DESIGN DISTRICT
B.S GRADUATION PROJECT
General Info:
University of Khartoum
Location: Garden City, Khartoum, Sudan year:2017
Description:
The concept design revolves around the idea of utilizing mandalas as a central theme to create an intelligent space that fosters creativity, spirituality, and cultural representation. The space aims to inspire individuals through its authentic and soulful ambiance. The concept draws upon the concept of mandalas, which are diagrams or geometric patterns symbolizing the metaphysical and symbolic representation of the universe. Traditionally used in various spiritual traditions as a tool for focus, spiritual guidance, and meditation, the mandala has evolved into an art form that represents African culture and traditions.
In this design, the square with four gates enclosing a circle and a center point serves as the basic form of the mandala. However, instead of using a circle, the design incorporates a cube to symbolize solidity and recognition, drawing upon the cube’s recognition as a Platonic form.
The use of circles and curves within the design represents landscape lines, creating a harmonious and flowing environment. Multiple levels of landscape are incorporated to enhance user movement, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Additionally, the design incorporates various spaces to increase the diversity of experiences for visitors.
