GIZA-GEM: URBAN DESIGN STUDIO
PROFESSORS: DR. HALA NASSAR and ROBERT HEWITT SPRING 2008
OVERVIEW & ANALYSIS
Background
The Grand Egyptian Museum requires the creation of an esplanade linking the museum to the Giza pyramids, and upgrading surrounding urban fabric. During a 7 day site visit. Clemson and Ain-Shams University students divided the site into sectors to perform site analysis. My sector was Sector 1. Returning to the states the final design product was a group studio effort. G.E.M. Zones: The focus of our design was the esplanade. Esplanade

GIZA-GEM URBAN DESIGN STUDIO
DEVELOPMENT
Design Principles Nile and Canal Systems Intertwined boulevard system around canal and esplanade.
Cosmology Progression from antiquity to modernity.
Natural barrier to monument site. With primary and secondary crossing points. Ancient canal system links monument site with urban fabric, green spaces and agriculture.
The ancient Egyptians were avid astronomers. The sun symbolized their core values. Using rays of the sun from the pyramids we transition from historic pyramids to the modern G.E.M.

PROJECT OKURASE: GHANA Background
PROFESSORS: ROBERT MILLER and RAY HUFF SPRING 2009
OVERVIEW & ANALYSIS
A rural Ashanti village of 5,000 people in Ghana. The project sponsor teamed with Clemson Architecture Center in Charleston to fulfill vision of a medical and educational center for the community and surrounding areas. Before the start of the semester two graduate students traveled to the site for analysis. A team comprised of graduate architect and undergraduate landscape and architecture students to develop a sustainable site that could be easily constructed by the residents of the village. As a group we performed analysis, and conceptual master planning. Individually we worked to further the design. I was responsible for development of site circulation, site entrances, landscape vegetation and the final rendered master plan.

PROGRAMMATIC GROUPS SHOULD BE GATHERED AROUND OUTDOOR SPACES, EACH HAVING A UNIQUE CHARACTER.
PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ARE SEPARATE WITH VARIABLE PEDESTRIAN CONTROL.
THE SETTLEMENT IS COMPOSED AROUND TWO PRIMARY COURTYARDS, ONE PUBLIC AND ONE PRIVATE.
ALL RAIN WATER WILL BE CAPTURED AND STORED ON SITE FOR USE BY THE CENTRE.
COURTYARDS ARE LINKED BY DIRECT VISUAL ACCESS.
SHADED LANDSCAPE AND WELL VENTILATED BUILDINGS WILL PROVIDE MAXIMUM HUMAN COMFORT.

PROJECT OKURASE: GHANA Entry Development Primary Entry: Northern road branches, wider path leads to hospital, parking lot, and service road to rear of site. Screened by vegetation. Narrow path pedestrian leading through check point to main courtyard.
DEVELOPMENT Secondary Entry: Southern entry used occasionally for deliveries. Follows same concept as primary entry but is less elaborate.

RE-TANNING THE LANDSCAPE
PROFESSOR: DR. GALEN NEWMAN FALL 2010
OVERVIEW
Background Continued growth and increasing residential densities of informal settlements in Cairo threaten residents health, ecological networks and historic monuments. I selected a portion of the tannery area that will be relocated in the identified informal area the historic district of Al-Fustat to redevelop as my graduation project. My design revives shared spaces, the ecological network and provides economic opportunities through historic settlement patterns.
Tannery Relocation
Total Area- 126.935 Acres Population- 28,571-57,143 People
Total Removed Area- 70.815 Acres Remaining Population- 15,943-31,886 People Obsolescence of Shared Spaces Residential
Commercial
Study of typical evolution and development around family, work, and community shared space. The need to increase density fills in shared space.
