MARS SCIENCE CITY New Cairo - Egypt 2020

A human mission to Mars has been the subject of science fiction, aerospace engineering and scientific proposals since the 20th century.The exploration of Mars has been a goal of national space programs for decades, Conceptual work for missions that would involve human explorers has been ongoing for years after the first human moon landing.Mars is an obvious target for exploration because it is close by in our Solar System, but there are many more reasons to explore the Red Planet.

The scientific reasons for going to Mars can be summarized by the search for life, understanding the surface and the planet’s evolution and most importantly for future human settlement. Furthermore, Understanding whether life existed elsewhere in the Universe beyond Earth is a fundamental question of humankind.

Mars science city

Project Justification Mars science city will serve as a ‘viable and realistic model for the simulation of human occupation of the martian Envirment. Mars Science City contains a variety of program pieces for both researchers and visitors, including laboratories for the study of food, energy and water; landscapes for agricultural testing and food security studies; and a an expedition centre for celebrating Egypt greatest space achievements and educating visitors on the city’s research. Utilizing one of the techniques currently considered for Mars habitat construction. Some walls of the museum will be 3D printed using sand from the Egyptian desert.

The New capital of Egypt The project site is located in The New capital of Egypt. The New capital is a large scale project under construction since 2015. The City is located 45 kilometers east of Cairo and just outside the second greater Cairo Ring. The city would become the new administrative and financial capital of Egypt.

ALEXANDRIA VIEWING PLATFORM Alexandria - Egypt 2018

Alexandria is the third-largest city in Egypt after Cairo and Giza, the seventh-largest city in Africa, and a major economic centre. With a total population of 5,381,000, Alexandria is the largest city on the Mediterranean – also called the “Bride of the Mediterranean” by locals.

From 2010-2018 Alexandria’s population grew by 18.42%. The City of Alexandria comprises only 14.9 square miles. That’s more than 11,000 people per square mile. The consequences of this is people suffering from overcorwded buildings infront the alexandria seas, causing a pattern of new buildings blocking views from older buildings. which makes alexandria living and touristic experience at risk devaluation.

Alexandria viewing platform, provides full optimization of the sea and the historic context around it. With adding a museum and a library to be integrated with viewing platform. The project will be a place of eduation and cultural experince which is core cause of this project.

Form Design generation

- The form starts with a simple block to visualyze the enviromental aspects of the site location.

- A 20 degree tilt of the form is done for full optimization of the northen wind and sea view.

- With replacing the simple block to a cylindrical shape, this allows better wind flow through the building and further optimization of the sea view.

- adding the viewing platform in the western side and the entrance to the parallel to the road

- with the help of radiation simulation tools, concluded the most impacted sides by radiation is the roof and eastern facade of the building

- An upwards tile is added to make use of the radiation esposure of the roof and add solar panels

- To protect the eastern facade from sun radiation louvers are added in the eastern side facade of the building

ICELAND PLANETARIUM Iceland - North 2017

The Aurora Borealis takes its name from Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn, and Boreas, the Greek name for the north wind. On clear, crisp winter nights in Iceland, you can experience the Northern Lights dancing magically across the sky. Seeing this magnificent light show with various colours dancing and twirling before your eyes is nothing short of amazing and each display is totally unique.

Iceland is located at a high latitude, meaning there is no darkness from mid-April until mid-August. In this period of time, no Northern Lights can be observed. The Northern Lights season is from late August to mid-April.

However, from late September to late March, it is dark after 6 pm, and one enjoys maximum chances. On a yearly basis, the Lights are at their peak in September and March. The reasons for this trend are due to the March and September equinox.

SUSTAINABLE NIPA HUT Ocampo - Philippines 2020

Climate change is disrupting weather patterns, leading to extreme weather events, unpredictable water availability, exacerbating water scarcity and contaminating water supplies. Such impacts can drastically affect the quantity and quality of water that children need to survive.

Ocampo was one of the places in the philippines to be effected by climate change. The native people of Ocampo used to lean their lives on it’s rivers now, some of it’s rivers had gradually diappeared. with no source of saved water they depend on rain water and underground water extracted by hand pumps.

Sustainable Nipa hut

Concept The idea of the building is to build native a sustainable family home (Nipa hut) in Ocampo that main objective is to harvest water from two sources which are rain and ground water. Most importantly the building design is developed with full consideration of the enviromntal features of the site. Using them for the building benefit of the building design such as adding wind turbine , solar panels, dehumidifying plants, and dependent plantation system.

During rainy days, water is harvested in large water tanks and then filtered ,pumped and used with the help of power generated from the solar panels. As for the magement of waste water, grey water goes through a filteration system and used for indoor food plantation while black water goes through a septic tank and pumped in outdoor plantation.

Concept The proposed project serves as a safe shelter for living for homeless girls and young women in Iraq. The shelter’s main objective is to be symbolized as a peaceful landmark for meditation, personal growth, and play. This is achieved by providing nature-enclosed spaces, and architecture mazes for girls to wonder, explore and connect with each other. Every part of the building is different with its own character and story, where every girl can create her own fairytale in it.

For the project to serve its purpose, the design process starts with: a grid to facilitate setting the rules for possible structural connections in the building. Then the existent palm trees are preserved as they were and built around them. The built-up area is reduced to preserve the site’s fertile land and optimize the view of the Tigris as much as possible. The preserved fertile land will allow a variety of plants and trees to grow freely around the building and be a part of its architecture. vegetations are placed on upper floors to compensate for the built-up space.

The initial form of the building is then reshaped to suit the environmental characteristics of the site, and allow efficient air circulation, natural daylighting, and view optimization of the surrounding nature. The form is completed by integrating parts of the ancient Iraqi design elements to provide a sense of historic wonder and presence.

The culture Centre’s main activities are expressed in spaces like workshops, an archery playground which provides work, training, and support to women in particular. The result is a contemporary Nubian landmark that educates both tourists and local women.

Building form The main concept of the development of the building form is to circulate as much cool wind as possible and help regulate the temperatures inside the building. This is by adding ventilation vents through the extrusions that are directed North to exploit the northern cool winds of Egypt, providing cross ventilation.
