Luxor Green Belt Project Description
Zero-Waste System The project was highly inspired by zero waste systems that create different closed cycles that all serve each other & create no waste at all. This works by using each system’s output (waste) & incorporating it in another cycle.
The idea behind the design studio was developing the city of Luxor with environmental green projects that will enrich the city & help its locals not only the tourism sector which is Luxor’s most iconic aspect. Many research was conducted about the city’s conditions & the new green development projects both internationally & all over Egypt.

-Interview with a supervisor.
-Types of crops being farmed:
-Dried tomatoes are produces in Luxor then exported to Europe for 2 reasons; as luxor is sunny all over the year, the sun and high temprature provide excellent prerequisities for tomato production, also, cultivating and selling tomatoes in Egypt is very common. -They grow the tomato in Armant, then transport it to Hassan Fathy Village.

-They don’t export their crops because it’s barely sufficient for them.
-Location: Maris Village -Interview with the Mayor. -Types of cultivated crops:
-Ms. El-Khodeiry presented a detailed but simple explanation of the technique for the production of biogas with the help of bacteria, ensuring a farmer’s self-dependence with regards to energy production. As a result of this process, the animal residues are being transformed into a high quality liquid fertilizer. -”We already built and activated more than 125 units on several farms in Luxor from which the biggest unit produces 30 cubic meters/day of gas”.

A closed cycle was created in the city centered around the locals & food production or agriculture. Starting from the kids teaching them farming & aquaponics systems, passing through community gardens & farms to the production factories & ending with the market & workshop to sell these products. The city also provides residential units with different sizes to accommodate all the different residents (families, workers or professors in the school). To ensure the city is self sustainable, the economic aspect was well integrated in the city, besides the market & the aquaponics, there’s a medical center that not only serves the city’s residents but all of the neighboring cities also.
Urban Market & Orchard A
Workshops for local crafts are provided on the first floor of the residential complex. Those can be rented for locals to produce & sell their goods on the open market space. This encourages locals to work more & improve their life quality. The orchard offers a unique opportunity for visitors to pick fruits by themselves, eat around the beautiful nature or ride their bikes. They could also use the different food collected from the orchards or produced from aquaponics to either sell or buy in the markets. Moreover, they can use this food production to cook local recipes in the community kitchen & sell them to visitors.

The idea behind our city is providing locals & visitors with a complete cycle of different activities that are both environmental, natural & can be economically profitable. Workshops for local crafts are provided on the first floor of the residential complex. Those can be rented for locals to produce & sell their goods on the open market space. This encourages locals to work more & improve their life quality. The orchard offers a unique opportunity for visitors to pick fruits by themselves, eat around the beautiful nature or ride their bikes. They could also use the different food collected from the orchards or produced from aquaponics to either sell or buy in the markets. Moreover, they can use this food production to cook local recipes in the community kitchen & sell them to visitors. Residential units are integrated within the orchard & trees to provide a unique living experience to residents. The other residential units are above the workshop & market to facilitate people’s daily functions. SECTION B B’ SCALE 1:500

New Capital: Administrative District Project Description The studio started by designing a master plan with the different zones & functions serving the administrative district & then each group worked on developing smaller zones of this master plan. Finally, each individual worked on designing a key project in the masterplan.
Urban Concept Having a huge park dividing up the master plan, it was important to design projects in the park that help connect the northern & southern distrcts. That led to the idea of having a main pedestrian spine connecting between the Opera house in the northern district & the parliment in the southern emphasizing the connection between culture, people & the government. Then 2 secondary spines were designed with the university buildings & cultural district spread around the park & through both southern & northern districts. 1:5000m 0

ZONE 5 | ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICT | NEW CAPITAL EGYPT
Location & Concept: It is located in the North Western Side of the First Phase of The Administrative District in the New Capital near the regional Ring Road. It’s planned to have the Opera House, The Courts District, The City Hall, The Presidential Palace, Faculty of Arts & Theater & the Conventional Center. There is also a Designed residential area. The main concept was designing a connection between all the significant buildings to attract more flows of people & ensure the zone is lively all the time not a dead city at night like most business districts. The green parks connecting the buildings are pedestrian friendly to enhance the social life & some of them serve as commercial areas or exhibition spaces for the community.

Opera House Design Process Since the Opera is located at the end of the district’s main axis , it serves as a meeting point for most of important areas in the city. that’s why the keywords that inspired the design were: CONNECTIVITY : how to connect the opera with main zones? ACCESSIBILITY : how to make it more inviting to public? REMARKABLE DESTINATION: how to emphasize the significance of the location?

Water Front Housing Project Description The design theme of the project is living on the Water. The river Nile is strongly related to the historic identity and urban image of Cairo. However, the Nile is not fully integrated in the architectural and urban identity of Cairo. Most of the urban developments along the Nile are limited to a few central zones. Moreover, they are mostly without direct pedestrian access to the water and the architecture itself is not oriented towards the water. The main design goals are to design a water housing mixed use building, with different apartment typologies for different social groups and public functions. The building should be designed in a sustainable way, developing the ecological and sustainable potentials of the site.
Construction Site
Location & Concept
Cargo Ships
Layers & Divison
Dar El Salam is located which is a very dense informal urban district with its unique atmosphere, breathtaking “street canyons� and hundreds of spontaneous set up small handcraft and trading workshops. The Nile Channel separates between two different urban areas. On one side of the Nile Channel, there are industrial areas, some football fields and an educational institute. On the other side of the channel are more formal residential buildings and towers, hospitals, some governmental buildings and some commercial buildings. There are no public or private green areas in the district; however, the water front on both sides is linedwith trees of different sizes. The Nile Channel itself is relatively calm with the least activity only with some old small cargo ships parked on one side of the channel.
The river port of Athar El Naby is the most prominent element in the Site. With still some of the cargo ships parked there, I started analyzing their shapes & reflecting the theory of layers and divisions on them. I noticed that just as the Nile Channel is the connection between Dar El Salam and the western side of the Channel but strictly divides between them when it comes to the life style and function. The same could be said about the cargo ships in the port. There are 3 different layers in that scene: 1. Water (Nile Channel) 2. The Ship 3. The Containers (Cargo) The main elements concerned in the river transport process are the cargo in the containers and the water which carries them, however they must be connected by the Ship; which also not only connects between the cargo and the water but also shows how different they are in their form. The water is always very smooth and free running with its constant moving, and the containers are always very stable, edgy and firm looking. The form of the containers is also very interesting, since, it is never identical on two ships. The containers always act as units which are placed differentlyon each ship producing a new form and style every time.
Examining the site analysis and the site location, I noticed how different the urban context and inhabitant’s lives were. The Nile Channel strictly divided between two different layers of the city of Cairo. On the western side of the channel, there were the modern residential towers, or 6 story buildings, office buildings, 2 private Hospitals and a lot of green areas, however, on the eastern side it was the complete opposite, it was an industrial area with workshops and storage units then it was connected to Dar El Salam informal settlements. Despite the Nile Channel being only 50 meter wide which easily connects between the 2 sides of it, instead it only strengthened the economic and cultural gap between the different social levels in Cairo.
Form Finding
Distribution of Functions
Inspired from the form and shape of containers on the cargo ships, I started creating a unit, changing its orientation and compiling it together to experiment the different forms it can produce. I started creating voids between the different units so they would be used as green public or private spaces. This standard modeling unit represented the residential areas which were lifted on a public platform floating on the water.
Building A (the left side of the figure) is the student housing Building. Building B and C are commercial Resdiential Buildings. The 3 building roofs are green public roofs for the building users. The Ground floor of each building is for the different public activities. The first floor of each building is an open terrace

Sustainability Green Roofs: (Vegetable garden)
Solar hot water water heater with electric boost
Green Roofs have been shown to reduce heating and cooling costs, since all the vegetation layers and insulation minimize unwanted sun heat on roofs. A green roof will also filter pollutants in the atmosphere especially carbon dioxide, lowering the carbon footprint. Using native plants help minimize the water and maintenance needed for the green roof.
Solar water heating systems include storage tanks and solar collectors. Solar panels work by transferring heat from the collector to the tank through a separate circuit and a heat exchanger. Heat collected by the panel heats up water that flows through a circuit of pipes into a copper coil inside the hot-water tank.Solar heaters will be placed on the roof of the buildings to help reduce energy production.
Grey Water Treatment
Greywater is defined as any domestic wastewater produced excluding sewage. With proper treatment, grey water can be re used to irrigate plants or for laundry and toilet flushing. Grey water treatment will be used to irrigate the roof gardens.
Sun Protection Concept All the windows of the building complex are recessed to the inside which decreases the amount of heat reaching the room. They also have external shades on all of the windows to block out the heat coming in since all the windows are big.
Integration of photovoltaic panels Combining Photovoltaic panels with the green roof will be very beneficial for the whole housing complex. Because in summer diverse assembly of green roof plants act like small air conditioners for the heat sensitive PV elements keeping them working efficiently and reducing the electric consumption of the building.
Functionality of apartments The housing complex includes many different apartment typologies ( different sizes & orientations). There are single studio apartments, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, duplex, and pent houses with private roof top.
Pre-fabricated construction element By standardizing the construction elements using pre cast walls & columns, higher quality at economic costs can easily be achieved. Another advantage is that you don’t need a working space at the site.
Enhancement of the local urban image Trees and beches are lined at the nile promenade offering people a nice place to walk in or simply enjoy the Nile View. The ground floor has a water sports center offering boat rides, fishing classes and fishing decks. The ground floor also has many decks or intruded terraces allowing the water even closer to the building increasing the integration between the water and the houses.
Communication spaces inside and outside Having open communication spaces on the roof garden or as an open terrace is very useful for the community. It strenghthens the relationships of the residents and gives a safe environement for them to share life experiences and maybe even for the children to play around. On the 5th, 6th, 7th floors, there are public green roofs, besides the promenade on the 1st floor connecting all 3 buildings; they all offer communication spaces for the community.
Museum of Modern Art in Berlin Project Description The design studio was held in Berlin discussing modern art & Museums. The main purpose was designig a museum of Modern Art in the city center of Berlin near Potsdamer Plaza. After experimenting with different exhibtion spaces & art pieces, a specific museum program was settled on & the site was chosen.
Form Finding Separating between the public area & exhibi-
tions with a level difference. The level difference was further developed to exist between the exhibtion rooms themselves creating the inclined mass of the building.
The boxes go around the courtyard where you enter & exit from the same box but on different levels.
New Cairo Tower Concept Integrating vertical green areas with the design to serve as meeting spaces for every set of floors. Extruding and shifting between the masses to create the green spaces as an external part of the building. Having protruded profiles along the facade to offer shading for the diffferent levels and to emphasize the masses more.
