Introduction
Rosetta Rose of the Nile •
1. Introduction : Egypt has many important cities and historical sites which make it an important country for tourism, one of these cities is Rosetta . Rosetta location where the river Nile drains into the Mediterranean, and its historical sites importance , Also it is distinguished by an authenticity and a tranquility that has become rare in other tourist cities . All this make it one of the most important cities of Egypt. (Rosetta on map, Author 2017)
•
1.1 Location and importance : Rosetta is a port city of the Nile Delta which located on the western branch of the Nile and the Mediterranean , Also it is consider as the connection between Alexandria and Behera city . So Rashid has blessed by a unique location and important historical sites . Because of the number of Islamic monuments in Rosetta which maximize its role in terms of tourism . It is the second city after Cairo in number of the Islamic monuments . Also Rashid passed through many historical era. Rosetta has what’s making it one of the most important cities , but need to let other know about it’s importance and more attention .
(Rosetta city, Author 2017)

Introduction
• 1.2 Historical background: Rosetta history back to the Zero Dynasty era, Rosetta was named " Khito” when Menes travel to include the town as part of his efforts to unify the two parts of the country . In the 4 th millennium BC , known as “boulbitine” named after the Ptolemaic temple name “boulbotinium” dedicated to queen Cleopatra , which was probably located south of modern town , close to the archaeological mound tall abu mandur mosque . the town was known as Rashit in the Coptic era, . Rosetta is a present name which came In later epochs, this eras left evidence in town can be seen till now; stones with hieroglyphics inscription in buildings wall and column that used in mosques (Fig.3).(Ministry of culture ,2003).
(Old Rosetta,bowyer,1805)
In 853 AD , the Abbasid Caliph took Rashid as a protective fortification against sea invaders, In 1249, the town was occupied by king Louis IX of France , which lead to draw the Mamelukes attention to Rashid and it’s important location , that’s when it’s important historical site started and the Mamelukes to build Islamic houses , mosques and public baths .(Ministry of culture ,2003). (Al-Masyali house, ministry of culture,2003) Rosetta became a prosperous trading harbor , under Ottoman rule, and became an important city for transit of merchandise . Consequently the streets of the city were crowded with merchants from all over the world creating international atmosphere that is reflected in houses façade and architectural buildings (fig 4.) . That draw the attention of both Britain and France. So Rosetta turned into one of the most important ports of Mediterranean sea .(Ministry of culture ,2003).

• 1.7 Rosetta opportunities as a touristic destination : 1. 2. 3. 4.
Historical sites that located in the hall city which make it an open museum. Rosetta is a port city of the Nile Delta which located on the western branch of the Nile and the Mediterranean. Local crafts ( boat manufacturing , furniture , fishing ). The generosity of people.

Tourism
(diagram showing Rosetta elements, author,2017)
Rosetta city contain two main elements, the tourism zone which include the historical sites that make the city an open museum , Nile tours and the Mediterranean sea, and the local craft and ships manufacturing that confronting the Nile in informal workplaces . Focusing in a project that contain two approaches return rosette as touristic destination and 7 improving local crafts in the city (fig,15).
Introduction
1.8 VISION :
•
Rosetta has a lot of opportunities which can be used to turn the city into international touristic destination , which will not only improve the economy , but will provide job opportunities and the chance for people to show their history and culture.
•
“The vision is to use the important sites and historical background to transfer Rosetta city into a touristic city which grab people from all the world to know it’s history and culture.”
The Target group :
The Target Group
Reasons
The Tourists : to return tourist movement back to the city and see the historical sites.

Introduction
• 3.2 Land use : City surrounded by agricultural land and the Nile. 45% of the lands are residential buildings (fig,25), 10 % are mixed use buildings, commercial buildings are too few compared to other lands in the city and located in specific zones. In the other hand the Rosetta museum located in the center of the city with its park (fig,26 ), 5 schools located in the same zone of the city which far away from the city sides so some parents don’t educate their children. (fig,27).Huge industrial area near the residential lands and Brick factories located on the Nile side , the cemeteries are in the center of the city and surrounding by residential buildings .Historical sites are 6% of the city lands.

Introduction
4.4 Roads and accessibility : The Site is located on the main road which consider as the main entrance for the city from Alexandria . Also Close from the Road which connect all Rosetta which will encourage local visitors for project. Also the accessibility of the site can be from Mediterranean sea for international accessibility .
(main road on the site , authors,2017)

4.5 Site Edges :
Sub roads Internal street Main Road
A strategic location on the sea .Site has only one main road, site surrounded by Mediterranean sea, large lands of open spaces and agricultural lands
(roads map)
Impact on site:
Agricultural lands have social and economical impact because the most important craft in Rosetta which will support the workshop zones. Palm can use as a surrounded shade for the building. Ship workshops are close to the site which will support the workshop zones (fig, 58)

Chapter II
Design stage -Concepts . -Major turning points in the project. -Proposed Design.
Design
Concept I :
Concept inspirit from the water front line of the city. With making a solid and void to create a main entry to the water that integrated the building directly into the water which create a new experience for the visitors.
Design
Concept II : Ship manufacturing: Rosetta is famous of ship manufacturing. Concept is to use it as inspiration by using the shape of the boat sail as the main cover structure for the building roof , which supported by steel cables
Concept III : Concept inspirit from Rosetta urban pattern which forum from the slums that surrounded the hall city of Rashid which had different patterns. Take the advantage of the wood of palm that popular in Rashid in a roof structure To make A landmark for the old city

environmental
Environmental : Use wood shading system to reduce heating inside building and use the needed light . Design inside atrium that use for natural ventilation inside building . Have three air champers inside each assembly is separated by steel mullions . When the building needs to retain heat , the chambers can be expanded using pneumatic controls , creating air pillow.
Shading wall

Shading : Use shading by tensile structure for the out door area by wood structure . Use wood shading cladding in southern faรงade to minimize the heat inside the building to reduce the use of the Air conditions inside building .

sustainability
sustainability
Sustainability : Environmental sustainability : Wood can use as a environmental reused material , recycled into mulch for landscaping or pulp for paper production and used beneficially as a fuel. Reusing and recycling wood reduces the need to cut down trees. Wood waste is the second largest component of construction and demolition debris after concrete. It contributes 20 to 30 percent of the building.(Leblanc.2018).
Fig,141(iStock, 2018)
Economic sustainability : Will use the wood as a local material . Rosetta city known as the city of million palm , wood is an available material in the city . Use material of the sailboat as a tensile structure to provide shad which is available and consider as a local crafts
Fig,142(Aperture Facade Installation)
Social sustainability : Design plaza outdoor for more interaction between people as a interaction zone . Design workshops to share knowledge of the local crafts of the city . Galleries that present the work of the city .
Fig.143 (perture Facade Installation) 45
Others
Technical studies I : Aperture Facade Installation Aperture is used to connect physically with the visitors inside building or in open spaces . It’s contain a opening diameter led which make the interaction and lighting movement . This diameter reading the movement of things and translated it to lighting and also it translate movement into wall faces so person in the other side can see the movement and see the light which make a connection between people and increase the interaction of the project zones as shown in concept one main shot . (Blinkenlights, Berlin 2001).
