Hana Amr Elsherbiny Architecture Student
I am an Architecture student at the American University in Cairo. I am very passionate about architecture, design, interior design and makeup. I love organic patterns and colors and i like working with my hands. I am very detail oriented and I notice things that people don’t! Taking this course was such an eye-opening experience for me since it enabled me to design easily and freely with the usage of parametric design which made a lot of things more possible and easy to achieve in a short period of time. Such an enriching experience from the start till the end since I used to really want to design buildings that were dynamic and organic but the CAD programs has prevented me from doing so. I am really looking forward to learning more about the parametric design tools so that I won’t have any limitations or barriers while designing.

Giza Sand Dunes -Sand Dunes are hills of loose sand formed by the movement of wind or water. -Sand Dunes are dynamic in both nature and location, constantly being moved and shaped by the wind. -They are formed by the tendency for sand particles to stick together if hit. -The shape of a dune is entirely dependent on the direction of wind hitting it, making them ideal inspirations for shelters as they are shaped by their environments.

Why Sand Dunes? -It is a common element in the Giza desert -It is a dynamic phenomenon shaped by its environment -Dune patterns could be used to formulate different iterations of the shelter -Sand Dunes consist of micro patterns that come together to form macro patterns

Thermo-Bimetals
Structure
The structure of the facade will be made out of thermal bimetals that are attached using pipes where the water runs to add the cooling eect Inspiration for the perforated pipes where the skin will be attached.

Double skin Facade
double-skin façades depend heavily on external conditions (solar radiation, external temperature, etc.) that directly influence .internal comfort and user quality of life

Form Generation and Optimization
Model iterations and Optimization These alterations were done in order to combine between the second parametric project and the Islamic influence that I have chosen to come up with the ideal shape that would diuse the harsh sun and allow wind to flow. During winter
Optimization
During Summer Which means that the facade works best during the hot summer days of June which are the problimatic times.
