PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE PROFILE

EDUCATION

I am a junior architect with a Bachelors Degree in Architecture from the University of the West of England in Bristol, England. My education and work experience have provided me with core knowledge of architectural design, urban planning and detail work. I have had the opportunity to work in teams with with other professional backgrounds across the world. These opportunities have enabled me to develop an open-minded, detailed and innovative approach to architecture and design which is evident in my work.

I aspire to be a sustainable and international architect that focuses mainly on reducing the buildings footprint through emphasis on materiality and vernacularism. I have strong belief on the contextualism of a project as a buildings location should serve as a cultural marker that should be intertwined with its surrounding.

FAIR COOLING FUND GREEN GUIDELINE REPORT

Location: Al Minya+ Cairo, Egypt

Date: October 2020 - September 2021

Green Guideline Report- Ashden Fair Cooling Fund

The “Green Guidelines” is a roadmap with strategic interventions to transform and strengthen rural Egyptian villages towards more sustainable communities. These guidelines are divided into eight chapters representing the main categories to promote sustainable living: Energy, Water, Materials, Waste, Passive Cooling, Conservation, Urban Planning, and Inclusion

Collaborations: Ministry of Economic and Planning, Ashden and Econsult

Sustainable Solutions for Egypts Future

Sustainable communities meet existing and future generations’ needs, contributing to a higher quality of life, ensuring the effective use of natural resources, and promoting social cohesion and inclusion. The chapters within the report explore innovative solutions to various issues regarding the topic.

The Impact of the Green Guidelines

The undeveloped rural areas have led Egyptians to seek better job opportunities, health care, and education away from the countryside into major cities like Cairo and Alexandria, significantly contributing to a historically high population density. This, in turn, creates condensed high emission municipalities mostly made of rural-to-urban migrants living in informal settlements. The Government of Egypt has incorporated a policy direction towards a more balanced regional development by creating sustainable communities. This ultimately will reduce rural-to-urban migration, high population density in major cities and enhance the built environment creatingabetterqualityoflivingforruralcommunities.

Walkable Streets

Creating walkable streets has implications for public health and environmental welfare as well as urban sustainability, walkable streets are achieved when communities and neighborhoods provide easy mobility to nonmotorized transportation. Moreover, pedestrian and cycling facilities encourage pedestrians to follow an active lifestyle and be less exposed to prevalent conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Passive Cooling Techniques

Passive design is a strategy that takes into account climate and environmental conditions to achieve thermal comfort, lower energy bills, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Appropriate passive design requirements consider core building specifications such as building structure and orientation, facade glazing design, shading systems, skylight design, insulation materials, and a building’s surroundings.

Street Study Egypt

The courtyard is an essential element in vernacular architecture in Egypt. It generates air movement by convection

Function of Courtyard

Courtyard provides different benefits throughout the day and night.

White Cement Tiles

73% Solar Reflectivity

Internal Layout Roofing

The internal layout of spaces should be based on the sun path and the direction of the prevailing wind.

70% of the roof is covered with reflective materials e.g. white cement tiles, white PVC and white coating

Travel/ Transit Lane Flexible ZoneFlexible Zone Pedestrian Clear Zone Store Front

Vernacular Design and Research

Low-cost and lowtech solutions derived from indigenous-rooted designs, manage thermal comfort while minimally impacting the environment. It is, therefore, more important than ever before to use passive and vernacular coolingmethods in order to save future resources and ensure buildings can survive future climate predictions. Increased and excessive heat would have serious consequences for human and animal health, agriculture, water supplies, and habitats.

Courtyard Illustration

Shaded spaces offer a space to relax outdoors and are a highly important feature in the Egyptian Household in mitigating heat.

Building Material

Quality insulation equals alower U-value and improved efficiency and a well-insulated building will use less energy for cooling

Exterior Shading Devices

Choosing appropriate shading devices for each facade increases the building‘s energy efficiency.

Reflective Roofing Footbridges

Safe footbridges gives increases accessibilty to services within the community.

Reduce building’s solar gain by minimizing heat transfer from the roof by using reflective roofing materials to minimize urban heat islands.

Adequate Street Lighting & Safety

Street lighting creates a safe environment for pedstrians to walk through their community at all times espcially at night preventing crimes. Street lighting is a critical component of both urban and rural infrastructure. Street lighting should be considered as part of the initiallayout of access and shared surface roads, driveways, and walkways, as well as the location and growth of trees and shrubs.

Solar Water Pumping provides off-grid clean energy and lower utility bill costs.

Adequate Exterior Lighting increases social surveillance and reduces crime.

Solar Street Lighting reduces energy consumption and improve light quality.

Renewable energy reduces energy consumption and lower CO2 emissions.

JUNIOR ARCHITECT AIG PLUS ARCHITECTS

Location: Dusseldorf, Germany

Date: October- July 2020

Various Residential and Commercial Projects around Dusseldorf

I was able to spend 7 months at aigplus in Dusseldorf working on a range of projects and learning plenty whilst engaging within my second language.

By working on different scaled projects , ranging from small scale residential to larger scale educational facilities I was able to take onboard the requirements and fast paced environment that a architecture office works in.

A big takeaway from this project is how vital the communication is between the many people that work on this project alongside you as an architect.

Garage Renovation Phase 1-6

Given the task of preparing finalized plans and sections to send off for a garage renovation. The task involved various client meetings and U-value calculations to create a insulated space for the user. The project continued for six design phases before being halted by the corona virus.

This was the first real life project I was given to work by myself, where I was able to learn how to manage a design across all stages of the design. Intergrating sketches and finished plans was key in sorting dimensions and thicknesses of walls.

BRISTOL WATER CENTRE

MUSEUM TO DIGNIFY SPACE

Location: Bristol, England

Date: November- June 2019

Bristol Water Purification Center

The site for the project is inundated with geological formations and high water level changes. Whilst much of the architecture around the site cannot withstand the forces of tidal changes, my project seeks to embrace and support this new upcoming settled environment. This has been done through Stratification; in other terms layering my project.

Collaborations: University of the West of England Class of 2019 (BSc Architecture)

Project Overview

ThesiteislocatedeastofBristolinthe area of Cumberlandbasin. This is the point where the river avon splits into two seperate rivers. This area is full of transportation modes and changable weather. Currently the site has a few buildings that are not currently being occupied yet still serve an important function. These being pump rooms, the dockmasters house, storage containers and Oil rooms.

Site Sketch

To set the context, the River Avon has been historically the foundation of Bristol’s economy and the driving force that allowed Boat transportation to come in and out of the Site (Smith, 1996).

High Tide Flooding Low Tide River Bank

Site Location Map

View over the River Avon flowing through Bristol and the City Centre, the site is where the river splits into two; the route to the city.

During high tide the island is surrounded by water and approachable by boat from all areas.

Low tide gives the boats little opportunity to park by the island.

The main features of the site include a complex road system and river split that makes the site a node of transport by sea and car. The project will aim to promote boat travel and cancel the automobile through a systematic blocakge
