PREFACE
HELLO!
THIS IS MAHMOUD NAGY ELSAYED ...
I would like to begin by introducing myself.
I am an Environmental architect, sustainable and computational designer by education and an explorer by nature!, I am passionate, determined, and ambitious individual.
Architecture, in its broad spectrum, has always implored me to seek new avenues, concepts and stories. As Architecture taught me to dream and being visionary, Engineering regulated my scope with limitations of logic and reason, which -I believe- both are needed to access new horizons on the ground.
As a child, I spent my formative years on the Asian continent. I then returned to Africa having undergone a series of significant experiences which have been cardinal in my personal and vocational developments. Furthermore, as I followed my higher education in Europe, I got to live other impactful years.
My diverse inter-continental upbringing and exposure to various cultures have refined my personality and prompted for more comprehension, and had been complementary to the parameters that shape who I am and essential to new perspectives, I seek to capitalize one as well-driven architect in his pursuit for continuous inspiration!
Here is this portfolio recipe:
Artistic | Architecture
Aspect for my soul, Environmental | Sustainability
For my duty and Technological | Computational For my passion!
Simply put, I am keen to use the technology means to serve a coherent architecture that achieves societal well-being.
Have a look and Hope to like it ...

Between chaos and order you find TRIO ( the Triad ) is a hybrid of several triads, The formation followed the Rössler rule and relied in the envelope on a pattern of improvement that changes over time.

TRIO
According to the UN estimations, by 2022 the world population hit 8 billion. These legions of new generation basically attracted to the cities and city centers and main metropolitans seeking for development and better opportunities causing the rural urban migration.
Otherwise, rapid urban development beside many other factors causes climate change which adding a new challenge for the proposed solution.
TRIO Followed by the three previous mentioned superposition challenges. commercial, residential, administrative, farming …. etc.) activities or whatever a human activity it is which we need to respond and occupy; vertical solutions in heart of urban zones will represent a dominant solution in the coming era.
ADAPTIVE TRIO is a typical commercialoffice tower to represent a realistic solution that tries to integrate creative ideas with the determinants of reality, as it follows the municipality rules and adapts to its surrounding towers.
Surrounding factors remain in dynamic change, Climate Change and its consequences may be chaotic or systematic, or perhaps chaos contains a system, as in the case of the Rössler equations!, TRIO based on a morphological concept beside an environmental solution, mainly as follows:
Rössler three equations
Milan, as a large metropolitan city, attracted a large population, particularly in the city center, where a complex of Citylife is located, including a hub of skyscrapers, in the northern-west remaining part we have shaped (Adaptive TRIO).
These differential equations formed the base of the tower shape. Rossler attractor is a system of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations originally studied by Otto Ressler in the 1970s which define a continuous – time dynamical system associated with the fractal properties of the attractor, it is a respond for a chaotic-systematic dynamic change whichand its graphic representation was the base of the concept to define the tower form and its main structural frames, the inspiration leads to the form which continues to influence the environmental solution in order to have a direct response to this dynamic change, both based on ternary aspects.
The adaptive envelope unit with built-in sensors adapting to context factors (Sun radiation, wind context shading ...etc) is shown in all of its corresponding shapes in a plan views, down there is two perspective views for the unit in its maximum and minimum opening values.

Abstract
In remarkable way, Computational Design (CD) methods have enabled archi-tects to enhance their design. Thereafter, one of the main aspects to manage is the In-door Environment Quality (IEQ).
This research introduces a holistic approach for an optimized computational method to achieve an adaptable envelope with its context -in every eventuality-, able to manage different morphological inputs and different climate zones as well, pursuing the com-fort key factors to shift from (adjust to respond) to (adapt to comfort) concept.
The workflow aims to establish a methodology for integrating multidisciplinary criteria to control factors such as design geometry characteristics and the material parameters that affect the performance of the envelope to produce a holistic customized envelope design pipeline for different users.
The methodology followed consists of three main steps, first to create and improve an adjustable unit with different polygonal options gives different geometry possibilities. Secondly adjust the computational script to adapt the preferred unit for different morphological inputs out of the user. Finally, introduce solutions that are tailored to the selected scenario and optimized for its context using an evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization engine.
The optimized solutions give the envelope the potentiality to be adapted in both fixed and kinetic solutions by manipulating the integrated façade screen at its different spots to have a significant impact on building performance, either by making it more efficient or by expanding its controlling boundaries.A case study was conducted in the climate zone of northern Italy, where the optimization method was used and interpreted in the context of Milan city. by fixing the thermal transadmittance factors (H’T) in the dedicated face and applying an adiabatic in the other parts, then optimizing to adapt the Equivalent solar area (Asol,est) and Daylight factor (DF) with their internal parameters to achieve the targeted comfort values.

The workflow (Fit all - workflow) for the customized envelope solutions, The development of the optimized design pipeline depends on addressing the areas of performance data-driven with its criteria definitions to guide the design optimization in a loop controlled by certain algorithms. the Automation part has been developed for the two steps of the (Software Application) and the remaining three parts will be developed in the future to have a full interoperability with other software

The research introduces a mediator as a controlled envelope between the indoor environment and the momentary outdoor changes that put computing in the face of the instantaneous changes from the external environment of the targeted building to maintain an indoor quality and comfort levels style according to numerical rates.
The envelope units could come in three geometrical typologies with different algorithmic definitions and had the potential of various features and a set of objectives to target. The research conducted a prototype simulation run for nine different scenarios, in Milan city, three of them for annual cumulative fixed solutions and six for Kinetic instantaneous or daily solutions in summer and winter to represent the units’ abilities to introduce the objectives, other objectives could be added to the evolutionary optimization such as acoustic, aerial, and material means while it needs a high computing capability. The Prototype simulation aimed to better understand the revolutionary runs and to make more informed decisions in all the different typologies. A case study of a Skyscraper in Milan CityLife district was conducted as a dense context site to test the optimal result for the prototype simulation results.

ABSTRACT
Biella is a name of a city and a capital of the province of the same name, it forms a complex territory which has been considered as the cradle of the industrial revolution in Italy, inherited urban and social values which promoted the city now to defined as a creative city mainly with the luxury wool fabrics in northern Italy, Piedmont region. Climate change CC creates new societal challenges which affect the transformation of the society fabric ending with environmental displacement, because of, the whole sociocultural-economic world has already affected the way that our cities perform not just the environment, we have to go forward from sustainable urbanism to climate urbanism to achieve real livable places and resistant societies. This shift is characterized by new policies, programs aimed to, considering climate alterations as a present condition instead of a future hazard and seeking to the actual implications on the case study of Biella’s Society, with the influence of built environment, Natural environment, Economy, and mobility, started by mapping the climate change potential effects through this approaches then tackling it through a systemic approach developing comprehensive spatial and infrastructure response with the aim of evolving new models of living together, finally to promoting the horizontal metropolis as a proper site of climate action instead of running local policies based on centers – peripheries narratives!

Population growth is one of Egypt’s major challenges, over 100 million settle in 7 percent of the available landmass till the Nile delta and its basin reached its maximum capacity! In response the country is establishing 14 new cities, which subsequently drove a boom in the AEC industry. Contrary to the historical base and away from the “Green area”, the urbanization of these new cities including the new administrative capital with its vast area and the Mediterranean coast city of El Alamein are located away in the depths of the desert!
