Mayar Abdelghany Architecture Student
I am student majoring in Architecture Engineering and minoring in Business Administration. I am a very practical person in my everyday life. I have an eye for detail and like to perfect everything when I have the time. my study made me realize the importance of engaging the users of the project in the design process. I also understand the important role the site makes in the design process and how the design must take into consideration the needs of the site and the materials available around the site to make the design more successful. I’m also aware of the influence of site location on the design and the influence of external factors on design like the climate for example. Being able to design such projects and actually impressing my doctors and myself with what I come up with made me fall in love
more with the architecture program. I’m also aware of the different forms of digital representation in architecture: architectural drawings, 3D-modeling, rendering, sheet layout design and fundamentals in animation and image editing. I can use, professionally, Autocad, Revit, Photoshop, Lumin, Indesign and Sketchup. I also understand the importance of free-hand manual drawing in the communication of my design and I’m aware that age, sex, and culture as well as complex functional relationships influence any architectural design. I studied the nature of human behavior and how it can be modified and influenced through architectural design. My short-term professional objective is to work in one of the big Construction Consultants or one of the international companies. I want to have a leading position within three years. I plan to gain as much experience as I can. We cannot learn anything without making mistakes and overcoming obstacles. The three years study will make me gain experience, not only professionally but also personally. This will help me develop my character, explore myself and start my career. Before the age of thirty, I plan to start my own business

14 Blue Foam: Test 1 (Stretching slime) Materials Used: • Blue Foam • Liquid gas Quantities/Dimensions: • 5 Pieces of Foam cubes 5x5x5cm • ¼ cup of liquid gas Process: 1) Place foam in box with liquid gas 2) Test pressure on foam while being submerged Results: • Foam pieces appeared to dissolve and turn into a slimy material • It took around 10 mins for one foam piece to completely dissolve • When pressure is applied, foam dissolved quicker. (25% percent less time) • Resulting slime started to gain a plastic feeling when left to dry for 2 hours
