Hend Bazeed Architecture Student
the department to all those brainstorming for projects that we have no idea what to do about . But looking back , they were all done and I’m proud of what I have come so far and curious to what I can achieve later .
Introduction : I’m hend bazeed, a senior architectural engineering student at the American University in Cairo. Writing this , I had flashbacks of all the struggles I went through in my first year after graduating from highschool and how far I have come . Unlike others , I didn’t actually choose architecture from the start but rather it chose me . I spent the first semester in my home reading and studying all majors , trying to find something I’m passionate enough to keep doing for the rest of my life . Then I came here to the auc as a business student but somehow I changed my mind to try architecture as I got attracted to the posters and the models that were there during my FYP orientation . And here I’m writing you my journey as a senior Student . I have lived so much in this major from site visits to sleepless nights in

CASTING IS A MANUFACTURING PROCESS BY WHICH A MOLTEN MATERIAL SUCH AS METAL OR PLASTIC IS POURED INTO A MOLD, WHICH CONTAINS A HOLLOW CAVITY OF THE DESIRED SHAPE, AND THEN ALLOWED TO SOLIDIFY.
ITS A 7,000-YEAR-OLD PROCESS USED IN BOTH MANUFACTURING AND FINE ART. THE FIRST KNOWN CAST OBJECT IS A COPPER FROG THAT DATES BACK TO 3200 BCE, FOUND IN PRESENT-DAY IRAQ. DURING METAL CASTING, MOLTEN METAL IS TRANSFERRED FROM A CRUCIBLE INTO A MOLD TO CREATE A POSITIVE METAL CAST OBJECT. THE METAL AND MOLD ARE COOLED, AND THE METAL OBJECT IS REMOVED AND FINISHED.

FASTEST WAY OF LOCOMOTION, ABILITY TO REACH UP-TO 25 MILES PER HOUR. WATER IS BROUGHT INTO THE MANTLE CAVITY AND THEN BUILDS PRESSURE THEN SQUEEZE THE WATER OUT THE NARROW FUNNEL DIRECTED OPPOSITE THE DESIRE DIRECTION. USE ONE PAIR OF LEGS TO PERFORM A REGULAR WALKING TECHNIQUE, AND THIS LOCOMOTION IS USED X SS IN STATE OF THREATEN.
CONCLUSION STRONG MUSCLE INTEGRATED ATTACK. THIS TYPE OF LOCOMOTION IS THE FASTEST TYPICAL BEND PROPAGATION AND IN TERMS OF REFLEX ACTION.

THE OCTOPUS HAS NO EXTERIOR OR INTERNAL SKELETON SO HIS MUSSELS ITSELF WORKS AS THE STRUCTURE SYSTEM . THE SAME GOES WITH THIS BUILDING AS THE FLUID WALLS ARE THEMSELVES THE STRUCTURE.
WE ABSTRACTED THE MOTION OF THE OCTOPUS AS IT BEND AND STRAIGHTEN ITS HAND WHEN ATTACK. WE ABSTRACTED THIS MOTION THROUGH THE CURVES THAT SHRINK AT A POINT THEN EXPAND. WE ALSO INSPIRED BY ITS SUCTIONS AND ABSTACTRED IT AS SUNLIGHTS.
