THE NAME’S OMNIA ABDEL-HAY. I AM A TIRELESS SEEKER OF KNOWLEDGE, OCCASSIONAL PURVEYOR OF WISDOM AND ALSO, COINCIDENTALLY, AN ARCHITECTURE STUDENT. PHILOSOPHY IN AS CIRCUITOUS AN EXPLANATION AS IT IS USUALLY OFFERED BY A PHILOSOPHER, MY SCHOOL OF THOUGHT RELIES ON SCHOOLING MY THOUGHTS – THOROUGHLY, REGULARLY; KEEPING ACQUAINTENCE WITH DESIGN.

Tides
Points covered: • Context • Natural Phenomena • Case Studies Context Conditions: • Summer : Humid - Hot • Winter : Humid - Rainy - Violent Storms • Sleet and hail The Sea and Corniche • The inner streets are inviting to the Sea either by • Directionality • Sloping to the Sea • The Corniche is designed in a manner that bends with the sea
