CHAPTER 1: IDENTITY

Introduction This chapter discusses the topic of identity that can be pursued in a variety of ways. Architecture acts as a credential and, from an identity standpoint, expresses the thoughts of its own people, resulting in different architecture throughout time and space.



Bank Headquarter in NAC

1.0.0 IDENTITY It's an expression that's frequently conceived and depicted as a historically timeless entity. Persisting in particular aspects of architectural design,heritage perservation,architectural history,and literature across time.

1.1.0 DEFINITION OF IDENTITY: Identity is a term that refers to an individual's,group's or thing's self-image, and it is formed by factors such as attitude,peronality,experience,belief and history. Time is one of the most important aspects defining identity since the variables that shapes identity vary through time.

1.2.0 ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY: The significance and worth, or identity, of architecture, is frequently conceptualized and portrayed as a historically timeless entity.

Keeping on within specific areas of building design, literature, heritage preservation, and architectural history. It is commonly considered that architecture has a singular identity that does not change through time. This idea may be found in traditional architectural design, heritage preservation, architectural literature, and history, all of which take a static approach to the meaning or worth of architecture. Like the Egyptian identity, which is easily identifiable.

Fig.1 identity

Fig. 2 Architecture identity

1.3.0 SUGGESTED RULES FOR SAVING IDENTITY: The architectural precepts that give cities, or regions, their character should be respected. Buildings that exhibit creative expression and the city's traditional culture should be found in every city.

We should not modify the character of cities; rather, we should renovate them (to bring the past's inherited identity into the present) in order to preserve memories, since this is our identity legacy.

1.4.0 RENOVATION OF ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY: The architectural identity of an area reveals its social development level when architects integrate the region's national style in the buildings that the community requires. The most important stage in preserving an architectural identity is recognizing the constant and variable aspects that influence it and making updated adjustments that blend in with the environment, man-made alterations, building style, and typography. This harmony should be represented in the shape and design of the building. An example on this is the Obelisco Capitale tower in New Administrative Capital, the tower's architecture is inspired from the Pharaonic style. The proportions of the Obelisco Capitale Tower were taken exactly from the original obelisk dimensions in ancient Egypt. In conclusion, the architectural details should reveal the identity.

Bank Headquarter in NAC

1.1.0 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHARACTER AND IDENTITY According to Le Corbusier, "a building should have a personality."Many of the physical characteristics and aesthetic elements that make up a building's look are referred to as character. The general form of the structure, its materials, craftsmanship, architectural elements, internal spaces and features, site, and atmosphere are all factors that contribute to its character.

For example, in Islamic architecture, which is permanent and hereditary but is not added to any building, a visual feature is an architectural character that is defined over time by its specific ornaments and details. This factor is assessed using three criteria: materials, characteristics, and spaces.

The architecture's physical features are a reflection of the culture's continuity, as well as a reference to a certain period. When it comes to development, there must be a hierarchy based on land, living standards, customs, and morality. The success of a location in establishing an identity is due to its unique characteristic as a visual picture. As a result, the shape differs in its components and external influences influencing its concepts, as well as its negative effects on human life, which has little aesthetical visual appeal.

We can't tell the difference between perfection and an ugly picture because we've become used to ugliness.

Fig.6 Islamic features sketch

1.1.1 CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF A BUILDING This may be accomplished by removing a distinctive side porch, altering the surrounding landscape, altering the window sash, altering the major space arrangements, introducing an atrium, painting previously unpainted woodwork, and so on.

1.1.2 ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTERS OF BUILDINGS Are Classified into three categories:

Functional Character

Associated Character

Personal Character Fig.7 The use of landscape inside the building can change it’s character

1. Functional Character: Every building has a goal, and each one is designed to serve a particular purpose. The exterior facade is in keeping with the internal plans, which explains the building's function. The exterior facade plays the most important role in determining the structure's function and the building's purpose.

For example, a museum can be identified by using skylights instead of glass.

2. Associated Character: Some elements expressed the character of the building that is associated with certain influences. These influences can be historical or cultural for thousands of years.

3. Personal Character: A character in architecture is equivalent to a person's characteristics. Person attributes such as pride, dignity, and energy can be expressed as a necessary piece of the structure if a building is built in the right spirit.

1.2.0 EGYPTIAN IDENTITY Identity, according to the dictionary definition and scholars, is what distinguishes a thing or person. If we apply this definition to Egypt, we find that Egypt's identity has several factors that define it; this includes:

Fig.8 Five factors defining Egyptian identity, (by author)

1.2.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF EGYPTIAN IDENTITY A book called the seven pillars of the Egyptian identity by the intellectual Dr. Milad Hanna, discusses the important key characteristics of Egyptian identity, and how they have an effective role in many civilizations, and how the seven pillars shaped the Egyptian identity. ​

Fig.9 The seven pillars, (by author)

The book's main concept is that, regardless of culture or education, place and time have a profound influence on everyone of us. Although we all have such pillars or belongings, they are not all the same length or strength. The degree to which each is present will vary from person to person, depending on each individual's beliefs.

CHAPTER 2: Proposed Project

2.2.0 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Bank Headquarter in NAC

By 1976, a new office building design had begun in Cairo, which had been well-known around the world for many years. These office buildings were constructed with advanced features that were completely new to the Egyptian market, such as air conditioning, interior false ceilings, aluminum curtain walls, private parking spaces, security, fire alarm, and telex. This type of building was so successful and had a great demand at a time.

The Egyptian investment market has transformed by 1980. The cost of renting or purchasing space in these already-built office buildings was too expensive for banks and Egyptian investment firms.

To minimise extra cost, many buildings were already under construction by the end of 1980. For example, the office buildings “the Nile tower” and “Cairo plaza.” These two instances were improved in terms of structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC repairs, as well as new cladding for the exterior envelope. During this time, the majority of the structures were planned by consultants or foreign architects.

Fig. 15 Cairo plaza towers before applying new cladding.

As the cost of power and energy has risen, investors have begun to focus on ways to reduce energy usage in buildings. Also, there has been a significant increase in public awareness of climate change and the need to reduce GHG emissions. At this time the community started to accept the green building concept, it started spreading worldwide , and consequently in Egypt as well. A great increase in number noticed for the buildings that has registered green building rating systems such as “LEED”. Through the years 2007 and 2016 , 15 buildings acquired LEED certificate in Egypt. “HSBC Bank” located in the smart village - Cairo Alexandria desert road, is the first certified LEED gold office buildings in Egypt in 2010 . “The Egyptian Mud Engineering and Chemicals Company - EMEC headquarters” located in El-Shorouk city, is the latest LEED certified office building in 2018.

Bank Headquarter in NAC

5.2.0 ACCESSIBILITY Architectural definition: The project entrances must be clearly identified and visible from various angles.

Purpose: - If it occupies the ground or the first floor, an escalator must be installed to reach the public to the hall - Access to banking windows should be easy - Loan officers and others should have direct contact with customers - Windows are often located on one side of the bank - There must be available on the staff platform open places for staff communication and small rooms for the collection staff - You must take into account the ease of access and exit from the dealing halls - Suitable lighting must be provided while minimizing the place - Monitoring must be provided for the movement of staff and the public

Teller Station: - It's built of a tough material like marble, and it's topped with a 5 to 15 cm thick glass wall that's anti-broken and anti-stolen.

- It should be located on the ground floor, which is a room attached to each bank, to place customers' deposits.

A. INTERNAL COMMUNICATION Corridors: they must be placed in such a way that they provide a means of rapid movement and communication and a horizontal connection.

Stairs: for vertical communications between floors.

Elevators: Comfortable group transport connections.

The message exchange system by tube, which is a good system and works by air pressure, but it has been replaced recently by a television network.

Telephones and internal communications.

CHAPTER 5: Design Issues



Bank Headquarter in NAC

5.2.1 ACCESSIBILITY B. EXTERNALCOMMUNICATION INSIDE AND OUTSIDE Mail is used to and from the bank's building as a means of communication between it and its customers.

External telephone communications, and they are heavily reliant nowadays as a cheap means and effective.

Telex: for long-distance, express and sometimes confidential communications.

C. TRANSPORTATION Public and employee transportation The system of arranging streets such as the streets leading to the public entrance and others leading to the employees' entrance Car parks, preferably within the building of the bank, because the building is often close to the city center and therefore the land is expensive

5.3.0 CIRCULATION Architectural definition: In design it is the development of individuals in the structure and the collaboration between individuals and the encompassing actual space. Flow additionally alludes to the way to deal with the passage of the structure.

The two types of circulation according to movement in a building: 1. 1-Primary corridors, secondary corridors, halls, exits, and entrance are all examples of horizontal circulation.

2- Vertical circulation refers to how individuals travel from one level to another, such as through stairs, elevators, and escalators.

Horizontal Circulation

Fig.62 Horizontal Circulation

CHAPTER 5: Design Issues



Bank Headquarter in NAC

5.3.1 CIRCULATION The two types of circulation according to the use in building: 1. PUBLIC CIRCULATION Spaces that are generally utilized and apparent for general society in a structure, similar to the anteroom or chamber.

These spaces are frequently greater than the private flow and all the more extravagantly planned.

2. PRIVATE CIRCULATION |These are the space that are not apparent to the general population. They are ordinarily at the rear of a structure for the specialists or staff. The plan of these spaces are not significant seeing as general society isn't permitted to enter these spaces, similar to the staff workplaces or the extra spaces.

Fig.64 Private and public Curculation Sketches.

Purpose: - Walkways should be close to main roads - Streamlining of employee movement paths to reach the competent rooms, and the places where workers enter their offices are private only to them.

- The elements of vertical movement and services must be combined in a single transitional space

Conclusion: Many studies should be achieved to reach a proper circulation and comfort. Comfortable building is the building which all spaces could be easily reached.

5.4.0 IDENTITY AND DESIGN 4.0. IDENTITY Architectural definition: Identity refers to the state of being one of a kind, distinct from others, and possessing distinguishing characteristics.

Project Examples: However, the design's organizational and architectural virtues aren't the only things that make it a winner. Despite the high-density surroundings and the scale of the house, residents can enjoy bright rooms and an unobstructed view of the region. The building's construction Fig.65-66 The building's silhouetter and recognizable functions help to break up the city's Skyscraper huge skyline.

5.4.1 IDENTITY AND DESIGN Conclusion: Use of Unique elements will allow the building to relate by the Egyptian Identity according to its seven pillars of Egyptian Architectural Identity.

4.1. DESIGN Architectural definition: Is the process of constructing a structure that you can step up to, under or around. It's possible that architecture will have the same effect as evoking feelings of safety and comfort.

The elegance, look, and manner of style are all factors in the external design of the headquarters, which may be divided into two categories:

- The Traditional direction: It is the closed block design, the entire facade is clad with marble and granite, giving a sense of strength and confidence, in addition to making iron grilles.

- Modern direction: It depends on the plastic competition with the showrooms and shops surrounding the bank, and the facades are fully opened with glass walls.

Conclusion: Applying a structure to react with the environment and fits the context.

5.5.0 HUMAN COMFORT Architectural Definition: Architectural considerations are utilized to create a comfortable environment for humans to live in by employing appropriate procedures, calculations, and materials.

5.5.1 HUMAN COMFORT 5.0. LIGHTING Architectural Definition: Architecture lighting is enlightenment for building design and function; it is the field of try which incorporates or draws upon architecture, design and engineering to make frameworks of light, including common and electrical light, for human activity.

Methods of Lighting: 1. Natural light: It reaches up to 6.3 meters within the hall in conjunction with a light source from other sources, up to 3 meters, and the ceiling is lit artificially under typical conditions.

2. Secondary industrial lighting: This illumination refers to the employment of an industrial light source that has the same luminance as natural light, which means it is bright and has the same hue.

3.

Industrial lighting: This lighting helps to create a suitable atmosphere for production within the bank and also facilitates the employees to carry out their work.

Fig.67 Secondary Industrial Lighting

5.1. SOUND Architectural Definition: Is one of the major elements that we should consider while designing any project, we could name it noise, as it could change the whole Fig.68 Industrial Lighting program process to satisfy the project needs.

Sound Control Methods: - Permanently eliminate the sound to prevent it from recurring.

- Self-shape the sound for inside to dilute it.

- Sound absorption is achieved by the use of insulating materials.

- Absorbent material absorbs sound.

- From the ground up, control the sound sources.

5.5.2 HUMAN COMFORT 6.2. VENTILLATION Shown for structures in climatic zones with higher temperatures, the framework permits steady changes of the air inside the structure, restoring it and still, significantly decreasing the inward temperature.

Controlling the air without moisture or heat is what industrial ventilation entails, and the design of the tubes through which the ventilation air travels must be taken into account. When it comes to natural ventilation, the first factor to consider is the building's shape and orientation.

Fig. 71 Heating Diagram.

6.3. HEATING Architectural Definition: Equipment or devices used to provide heat, especially in building

Types of heating Methods: 1- Radiation 2- Heat transfer The second kind is superior to the first because it allows for greater humidity control and better heat dispersion. In big halls, whether for cooling or heating, the radiation system is favored.

Fig. 72 Radiation and Heat Transfer Sketch

6.4. Isolation Architectural Definition: It shields the heat or sound from transferring from place to another in order to increase the human comfort inside the spaces..

Thermal Insulation of the building: To accomplish insulation, the following elements are taken into account: - The building's and its different components' intended function.

- Duration of use - A variety of places for a variety of purposes.

- the direction of the wind - The building's primary ventilation openings.

BUILDING MASSING:

Fig. 92 Futian Tower Shot.

The goal of this design was to maximise panoramic views of the Min River while also screening the roadway on the east side of the property and establishing a park on the west side by linking the site to the nearby canal.

The eventual solution was to divide the required services among three blocks: two interlinked office towers, and a lower block housing the amenities for the primary auxiliary areas. The outcome is three volumes that define the project on the city's skyline, as well as the horizontally dispersed banking hall spaces at the tower's base.

The design has evolved in response to its surroundings, with new paths and links pervading the surrounding areas, optimizing interconnectedness and providing a strong feeling of place.

Fig. 93 Infograph shows the building's zoning and its percentage (By Author).

Fig. 94 Form and Zoning of the building (By Author).

By increasing the building's breadth and extending the tower to its maximum permissible height of 100 metres, the circular shape is converted to a rectangular form to enhance views across the river.

6.1.2 Futian Tower, China Staking of the program: There are three elements to the structure: two interlinked towers and one building that houses all of the utilities. Because they require less sunshine and more seclusion, the offices have been orientated to the south, facing the river, while the auxiliary spaces have been shifted to the north. The VIP banking and CMB offices have been gathered together at the top of the building to maximize views, while the banking hall has been extended horizontally over the podium to maximize frontage and Fig. 95 Zoning of the Building's Program ( By Author). accessibility.

Cores: Vertical circulations and supporting areas have been placed to the sides of the structures to maximise the floorplane efficiency of the office skyscraper. This technique allows for large column-free rooms with plenty of natural light and river vistas.

Sustainability:

Fig. 96 Cores of the Buildings and its location (By Author).

The east and west facades have cores that shelter the structure from solar heat gain and act as a noise barrier from the roadway. In addition, the tower's top is gently tapered to create self-shading.

8.0.0 MEANING OF SUSTAINABILITY DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABILITY: According to the UN World Commission on Environment and Development, the definition of Sustainability means "meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of next generations to meet their own needs".

8.1.0 HISTORY OF SUSTAINABILITY 1713

Coined in German, the original Team was Nachhaltigket, meaning "sustained yeild" was used to mean never harvesting more than the forest can regenerate.

MID 1800s

The translated term appeared in English begining in the mid 19th century

1980

The word sustainability began to be used more in terms of how humans live on the planet.

Fig 126 . Historical Timeline of Sustainability

1987

2000

PRESENT

UN definition is Sustainable formed "susdevelopment tainable devel- has three goals; opment" meets economic develthe needs of the opment, social present without development compromising and environmenthe ability of fu- tal development. ture generations to meet their own needs.

For something to be sustainable by today's most common definition, it must be balance how it meets human needs without degrading the natural environment.

8.2.0 THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY Environmental Pillar: Environmental sustainability tents to improve human wellbeing by the conversation of natural assets (e.g., land, air, water, minerals, etc.). Environmental sustainability places emphasis on how trades can reach best economic results without causing any environmental effects that could damange its balance in the short or long term.

Economic Pillar: Economic sustainability focuses on preserving the capital intact. If social sustainability aims to improve social equality, economic sustainability tends to improve the standard of living.

Social Pillar: Social sustainability aims to preserve the social rights of the people in the community by offering them services and opportunities. This means that social sustainability as a concept perceives society, cultural backgrounds, and globalization in its view of the world. The concept of social sustainability focuses on enhancing social quality by addressing concepts such as cohesion, reciprocity, and honesty within people's interactions and relationships.

8.3.0 SUSTAINABILITY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN According to K.Charles, the main principles to a sustainable construction: - Use Less energy.

- Less cost to operate and maintain.

- Use natural resources.

- Create places for people to improve health and productivity.

SUMMARY: HOW THOSE TECHNIQUES IMPACT IN PROJECT: Sustainability in Projects give a better environment for users and the whole earth. Sustainability gives a better living, reduce energy cost and reduce air pollution as well as preserve the resources for upcoming gernerations.

8.4.0 FUTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY Meaning of sustainability is different for people according to its development of not being harm to the environment. Only architects and designers have a Fig.135 Application Summary of Sustainable Techniques (INTERNETGEOGRAPHY). well understanding of the benefits of sustainability and its effect on society and human being and it is the only way to make a better future. To move through the sustainability in future, here are some steps to increase the performance and awareness of its importance:

Eliminate the need for replacement:

the best thing to do as designers to make a product that couldn't harm the society, has a long-term life cycle, has a high performance and high durability.

Reduce, reuse and recycle:

Creating sustainable goods by reducing wastes remaining from manufacture of materials. For example, in the industry of flooring materials, many remains excess and result in waste. These remains and chemicals leftovers could be reused as an energy and heat source by post manufacturing.

Embrace Transparency:

designers nowadays use materials and resources which are the most sufficient not only what they know by doing more researches and more knowledge from the third parties. They realized that the best product may not they usually use.

TECHNICAL STUDIES

Sustainability: To obtain economic sustainability in the project during the construction phase ,using the careful planning for the site , building design and using renewable energy in building which reduces the building coast.

Pavegen tiles: Walking over the pavegen tile generates renewable energy from the pressure of the footsteps, which is turned into kinetic energy and then into electricity using pavegen technology. Pavegen tiles could be used to power outdoor lighting in public spaces (including pedestrian and vehicular routes). It might also be utilised to keep electricity flowing inside a building.

Aqua-cell Grey water system: Due to Egypt's present water shortage, the aqua cell grey water system divides used water into black water (solid waste from toilets) and grey water (from basins, showers, and washing machines), with black water being non-reusable and grey water being processed and reused.

TECHNICAL STUDIES

Modern Mashrabyia: It's a wooden shade feature from the Islamic architectural era that's been updated for the twenty-first century. It's so adaptable that it may be built in a variety of patterns to fit the project's theme.

Smart Glass: Eco switchable glass that controls privacy by turning the transparent glass to opaque by one touch; it also helps in making the building lighter because glass is weightless so it helps in creating a sustainable building.

Solar cells A solar canopy around the circumference of the Living Roof at the California Academy of Sciences, for example, contains 60,000 photovoltaic cells that provide about 3,000 kWh of clean energy per year (at least 5% of the Academy's normal energy consumption) while also preventing the release of more than 405,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year.

We also capture energy in a variety of modest ways throughout the structure.

Sensor faucets in bathrooms, for example, charge themselves with each use (flowing water activates an internal turbine, which generates electricity and charges the battery pack), while heat recovery systems capture and reuse heat generated by HVAC equipment, reducing heating energy consumption.

TECHNICAL STUDIES Kinetic Perforated Panels They consist of a perforated bronze facade with hinged panels that kinetically open and close like shutters. Perforated kinetic facade is a type of perforated metal plate used as a shading device and as a decorative facade, with a distinct ornamental impact than standard metal facade. It's kinetic, and it automatically opens and closes. Buildings that are decorated with it may give you with not only a pleasing aesthetic experience, but also a relaxing atmosphere. They might be utilized as decorations, shading, or as part of the shade and shadow play in the project.

Natural Systems Nature and ecosystem services are needed to not only support life, but also to improve it. Ecosystems preserve and even repair natural systems, resulting in increased ecosystem services and environmentally resilient populations. These are better equipped to endure and recover from sporadic floods, droughts, wildfires, and other disasters.
