MOTORCYCLES AS AN URBAN CATALYST

WHILE READING ON RIO DE JANEIRO AND THE AREA OF COMPLEXO DA MARÉ, THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES USING MOTORCYCLES, THE SO-CALLED MOTOTAXIS BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN THE EXISTING LEGAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THE SOMEHOW INACCESSIBLE AREAS INSIDE THE FAVELAS.

THE DESIGN STRATEGY DISREGARDS THE URBAN PLANNERS' MANAGERIAL PERSPECTIVE IN FAVOR OF AN APPROACH THAT EMBRACES THE POPULAR ACTIVITIES AT AND AROUND THE SEVEN MOTOTAXI STOPS INSIDE THE COMPETITION AREA. MOTOTAXI URBANISM ENGAGES IN UTILIZING, REMODELING AND REPROGRAMMING; IT ATTEMPTS TO ENLARGE AND UPSCALE ACTIVITIES THAT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH AND ACTUALLY FOUND AT AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE VARIOUS MOTOTAXIS STOPS.

THE PROPOSALS INTRODUCE COMPACT MULTIFUNCTIONAL STRUCTURES WITH TWO MAIN TYPES. THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL PASSAGE BUILDINGS AT PRIME LOCATIONS WITH NUMBERS OF PEOPLE PASSING BY AND THROUGH, SET AS STACKED PUBLIC SPACES ALLOWING FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES. THE OTHER TYPE OFFERS SPECIFIC USES TO THE AREA. THE VISITORS WILL FIND NEIGHBORHOOD LIBRARIES, OPEN AIR MOVIE THEATERS, GYMS, POOLS BUT ALSO LARGE SPORT FUNCTIONS, WHICH ALL TOGETHER ADD A NUMBER OF MISSING ACTIVITIES.

Particular building materials and color codes support the identity formation programs and help to recognize the different usages.

02/MEGALOMANIA

GOING MEGA

“RELATING THE MEGASTRUCTURE TO THE ISSUE OF THE COMMONS IS A USEFUL EXERCISE TO UNDERSTAND THE SUCCESS ANCE OF WHAT PETER REYNER BANHAM CALLED THE “DINOSAURS OF THE MODERN MOVEMENT”.” ALL THESE LARGE-SCALE CONSTRUCTIONS SUFFERED THE SAME FATE: A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PROMISE OF A LARGE SHARED SPACE AND THE TEMPTATION OF ITS FRAGMENTATION. THIS SERIES OF MEGASTRUCTURES REEXAMINES THE IMPACT OF MEGASTRUCTURES ON THE MOUNTAIN OF MOKATTAM, SITUATED IN THE HEART OF CAIRO AND IT ALSO CONSIDERS THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MEGASTRUCTURE WITH ITS DIFFERENT FORMS AND FUNCTION AND THE CITY OF CAIRO.

COMMUNAL SPACES

BMW MUSEUM

Located at the heart of the new capital, the Center is the first of its kind in Egypt, which contains a car-related museum, a showroom, a maintenance department, sales department, research labs and charging stations.

The main objective of the project is to focus on the new technology and highlightning that others may try to conceal, such as the maintenace department.

There are two main circulation routes inside the center, one is for the visitors and the other for the cars, with both connected directly to each other.

The skin of the building consists of shape-shifting louvers, which form is directly related to the function abehind it and its orientation.

05/ALFUSTAT YOUTH CENTER

The Loop

The Garden located beside the Citadel and a contemporary art center along numerous pottery shops in Alfustat, Cairo can be seen as an opportunity to transform the area into a productive dynamic public zone and can improve the marginalized settlements by spreading culture and by upgrading the social and mental behaviour of the youth.

It can form a network that serves young people from all social classes, coming from the Art Center and the nearby habitations.

The Youth Center contains workshops, classrooms, an auditorium, a mediatheque and a gym. The remainder of the garden contains a Futsal Court, steppings for outdoor galleries and a bicycle arena.

Two main access points to the site acting as a node.

A ramp system to connect the two main axis of the site.

Creating a spiral mass means more opportunities for a gathering area on the roof.

Final Form.

The Center consists of educational functions such as workshops and classrooms that are connected to the communal areas.

A small auditorium can be accessible from the ramp and can be used for film screenings or lectures for the youth.
