ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIO

H E L LO !

I’m Omar, a recent GUC Architecture graduate, I strongly believe that both the urban context and the users’s needs should be the main driving forces behind every design, regardless of architectural style. With this philosophy, I am excited to showcase my academic portfolio, featuring diverse works ranging from low-tech desert buildings to high-tech futuristic structures.

In Collaboration Mai Mahmoud with:

Kenzy Mohamed Rahma Fawzy

High atop the revered Dakrour Mountain in Siwa, a new architectural landmark is poised to emerge – Ighri n’Ifran, meaning “Cave of the Stars” in Amazigh. This project isn’t just for stargazing; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the Amazigh heritage that thrives in the heart of Siwa.

Cave of the Stars honors this legacy by creating a space for locals to stay during the 3-night holiday, as well as be used by tourists throughout the rest of the year as a resting/camping space after hiking up the mountain.

1) Placing the project in a central Position between the 2 peaks

2) Defining the axis according to the geometry of the contours

3) Amazigh star sign placed to be the main gathering space, symbolizing unity & guidance

4) Defining the borders

5) Creating the four main masses to House the 4 main spaces

6) Altering the geometries to follow the entrance from the cracks

The design hierarchy and zoning are influenced by this dynamic interaction, creating a fluid, zigzag form that echoes the natural movement and grace of these marine creatures.

Typology:

Research Institute

Location:

New Admin. Capital, Egypt

Date:

2023 | 8th semester

Supervision: Prof. Hisham Gabr Pillara Mohamad Martina Abualam

Situated in Knowledge City, in the New Adminstrative Capital, EVO-BUILD is a research institute meant to innovate and experiment with new adaptive & kinetic technologies in building design, bridge the gap between academia and the construction trades through a labor training center, and educate the public about the potential of kinetic architecture through permanent and seasonal exhibitions. I suggest a grid-like building that is modular, modifiable, scalable, and open-ended to allow for adaptability in the short-term and metabolic growth in the long-term.
