02 The loss of cultural heritage value affected Egyptians behavior toward themselves, others, and their ethics which caused cultural hostility. We focus on changing the meaning attached to the behaviours of people, and appreciating their definitions of successful development. we also seek to represent their concerns and achieve social justice. all that in one way or another are sensitive to the culture and context in which they implemented. Creating a resilient society that can embrace their differences, accept others and initiate effective action to improve their livelihoods, share their heritage, and contribute to sustainable cultural development.

Philosophy Of Expressionism Art Can buildings express inner ideas or feelings? Expressionism was an early 20th-century movement in art and architecture that developed in Europe following World War I. It developed between 1910 and 1924 among a group of architects from European countries, including Germany, Austria, and Denmark. It was a time of great turmoil and upheaval in Europe, and many of the architects had fought on the battlefields of World War I. Their experiences greatly impacted their work, and what they created looked like nothing that had come before it. Describing Expressionist architecture is a challenge because each structure is so different and is an individual statement by its creator. In fact, Expressionism is often defined by what it is not. Expressionism is not often symmetrical. The architects who designed Expressionist buildings avoided traditional box shapes and resisted basing their designs on past historical styles. They tended toward abstraction, the idea of objects or structures not seen in the real world. Expressionist architecture was designed to evoke inner feelings and extreme emotions. Buildings created in this style made a statement and stood out from the structures around them. Architects often used distorted unusual forms and incorporated innovative building techniques using materials like brick, steel, and glass.

Circulation Dynamic Circulation :Exhibition & galleries are connected with a fluid circulation route. Along the way, the bridges are way stations. when you get onto them, one after the next, you are in this zone and you can look up at the sky and down to the earth. you think about what you’ve seen and got ready for the next gallery. there’s a lot of bad stuff you learn about. but a lot of good stuff too. you look up and you think:“ oh man, I’ve got a way to go” and I wonder if I will make it to the top.

Global Exhbition Daring it is the second zone the visitor enters and here we start introducing them to how the chronological walkthrough. the idea of the expressionism is breaking through the negative side of the society and speaking up. Light: the contrast in the light between the light side and the dark sides. Scale and proportion: using double-height, and the scale of the art pieces to make the visitor overwhelmed by the expression of the art. colors & textures: using neutrality to emphasize more on the artwork.

Nuba Exhbition Festive - Nostalgia This zone celebrates the positive side of the Nubian culture and heritage Texture: using the same material used in their houses Light: to achieve the festive mood we used more natural light in the oasis zone and less in the back to the memory lane zone to achieve the nostalgic mood. Scale and Proportion: the arches which is a main element in the Nubian Architecture were used in a large scale.

Women Exhbition Innocence - Liberation - Purity To reflect on the women’s nature as mother, wife, working woman. Light: more natural light was used to give it a liberated and pure effect. Scale and proportion: the scale of the room is high to achieve the liberated feeling and connect it more to the sky, the scale of the artwork is large to overwhelm the visitor with the beauty of the artwork. Color: using neutral light tones to create a pure feeling.

03 Students’ Dorms and Hub Problem statement Planetary scientists study the atmosphere, surfaces, and interiors of planets. These researches are carried out in labs with theoretical and mathematical work. This may limit their creativity as they are away from the interactive experimental environment. Vision We believe that the wandering of the mind is always the key to creativity alongside the interacting environment.

Urban Theories Redesigning AL-ALfi square, Downtown Cairo, Egypt.

Architectural portfolio 2021

Preliminary design visualization This proposal is based on the pavement-to-plaza concept Firstly, the design starts by the area near the square as it is the most vital and has car access so it will draw more attention to the public space. So, by adding a music stage for public concerts, performances and different seating to serve different type of needs will attract more people to the plaza. Entering the pathway people will have cafes, restaurants and store facades. Then by placing a soft landscape edge will play as a boarder between the passage and the stores also it will add a serene mood to please the people and will frame the walkway more. In addition to that by adding a different type of kids’ area will attract different age category also the all the games there are human-powered devices which means the generate electricity that serves the plaza and make it more energy efficient and green space. In addition to that to support more the physical activity by adding bike lanes for people to use. Furthermore, adding free book booths to attract the readers from different age groups.

In conclusion, by adding all those elements the plaza will attract people, and make the space more walk-able, diverse, livable and accessible according to the principles of New Urban-ism.
