The Entrance. In application, we initially followed the same logic adapted from our references. By creating and elliptical entrance space that leads into the palace and PRODUCED straight through to theSTUDENT courtyard allowing for the BY AN AUTODESK VERSION creation of a focused Axe between the two entrance spaces. Also, in alliance with our concept of creating deceiving spaces the repetition of a single space has been commonly used to create a distraction and diversion from the main function. Where the presumed symmetry of the mass could enhance confusion and loss of direction. PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION

The Office I. In all palaces we see a specialized room just to display the palaces china cabinets with all the classical and expensive plates and tableware. We found it important to have in order to portray prestige to the guests of the palace. In palaces they usually design their cabinets in a classical way using different arches on top and on the cabinet’s legs. This room has three walls only to have a sense of open and welcoming feel to the guests of the palace. The room itself has only the classical profile that shapes the walls in order to highlight and give all the attention towards the china cabinets. The cabinets are placed between the windows with different sizes to show a variety of designs placed in an orderly but artistic, classical manner.

The Office II. We focused on the element of repetition and symmetry as our arsenal for this space. Much like the space from the film we chose to also apply this concept on our office space which from the outside would seem like three very regular cubical offices and from the inside couldn’t be more far from that. We focused on repetition of our columns and pillars combinations as well as our domes to create a more coherent space that would still work in the context of our palace and fit along it’s characteristics.

The Office III. In our palace, this office area has two sides that look over the courtyard; one side with doors for entrances and the other side with windows. We planned to place the cubicles in a symmetrical way along all of the office area while keeping in mind that all of their openings must align with the doors and windows. Each door “entrance” is aligned with the opening of the cubicle and looking straight at the desk of the employee giving the illusion of a big office, no cubicles, and an open, free space. Since there are three entrances, people on the outside would think there are three different office spaces but in reality it’s just one big space with clustered cubicles that giving off an isolated maze atmosphere.

The Office IIII. In our palace, we have three rooms that are offices. One side of all the rooms has doors and the other side has windows. We implemented the idea of the room in the movie “playtime” in those specific offices. Each window is wide and placed very close to the one on the next room giving the idea of transparency PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION and honesty. Also, the furniture like the desks are placed right next to the wall making people inside of the space seem like they are facing each other. The idea in this space creates an illusion in which if a person stands further away from the rooms they would think it’s just one huge room because of the placement of the windows, but in reality when people move closer to the rooms they realize that they are actually separate rooms and only the placement of windows and furniture made them seem as one.

The Salon. The optical illusion idea for this part of the plan came from the idea of secret passages that are present in important buildings, including palaces, and since we are designing a palace then we thought we had to design a secret passage that would connect different spaces of different functions in order to give a sense of privacy and safety to the president and security staff. In the figures presented here, we notice how there are different ways to implement the opening and closing of a chimney in order for it to function BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION as a secret passage. One way PRODUCED is the rotation of the background material present. Another way is for the background material to act as a sliding door.

The Library. The library is entered through a smaller chamber leading from a smaller hall that supports more educational and cultural functions like the gallery. The space is defined by it’s mirrors and the four columns support the domed roof. The profiles used for creating the elements are different than the ones in the other spaces as well as being different from each other. They also depend on cornices from ancient Egyptian architecture as well as being used in different ways to create the different profiles used in the space. The dome is inspired by the diminishing effect applied in the pantheon with the tiling except BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION in this case the tile is the same PRODUCED lotus tile used for the walls in the first office space. Also, focusing on repetition of elements as a way to combine the spaces. The dome’s geometry is inspired by the works of Brunelleschi and the ribbing effect he created.

The Topography Plan. Studying the topography of Aswan in the large scale. It was discovered that the city was lying on extremely challenging topography full of inclinations and declinations. Making it more difficult to build on it or plan it properly. As well as making it more challenging for pedestrians to walk or use making their reliance on transportation exaggerated. Upon further studies it was discovered that the site lied in a rain collection point and that was around +6.00 meters lower than the street adding to the difficulties of the site.

The Spine. The spine leading from the airport going all the way across to the nile corniche. It is the most heavily populated area in aswan and is the starting point of all urban creation due to the intense topograhy the city has and the different soils and eart structures it includes; people were naturally drawn to it for shelter and to build their city. It carries most of the main landmarks in the area from the magdy yacoub foundation to the nile museum passing by the aswan stadium. 1. Club 2. Club 3. Dock 4. Magdi Yacoub Hospital 5.Club 6. Park 7.

Urban Correction. The solution was trying to fullfil the missing functions while adding street in fill that would strengthen the spine and continue its longitudinal flow. Also, creating better spaces that would benefit existing users and would welcome more potential users to move to the area. As well as, re-imagining the area as more than just a residential neighborhood but with touristic importance as well for the users coming from the airport and the ones commuting to Philae temple or the nile museum.

The Concept. The concept originated from trying to inhabit the existing greenery on the site and cherish the scarcity of greenery in Aswan. Because other than the islands in the nile and some deserted parks there is no real greenery that is actually used by the locals or the tourists. The courtyard. The project aimed to foster the widely used typology of the courtyard in a new and adapted way that would suit this building typology and its users. The Masses. The masses were created to adapt to the natural topography on the site and take its direction. Shifting between the space in vertical and horizontal directions to adapt to the existing landscape. They were also created to consider shape and function. Each mass has its own function and their entrances communicate with each other in a way that the users would make most of their separation. The landscape.

The Circulation. The circulation of this building is built on the concept of the continuous loop where each ramp will lead you to a space and that space will guide you to another ramp that will then on lead you to another space and so on. The building’s circulation was planned with people who suffer from disabilities in mind. The design aimed to foster their needs for space to rest and proximity of spaces so they would not feel segregated against in any way by the design. There are spaces along the building created as resting nodes or lounges for the visitors to enjoy These areas lie directly on the circulation route as not to divert the users from their desired direction. The slope of these ramps was made to consider people of disabilities as well and was created for utmost inclusion.

The Master Plan. The design of the master plan focused mainly on making the building accessible for all users from different backgrounds and ages. In addition to, harboring the existing natural green areas and enhancing them allowing for better usage of the public space and enhanced quality of life. Levelling.The site is divided to many levels and sublevels that vary between the starting point at one end of the street level +0.00 and the highest at +5.60 at the east side of the street. That being said the transitions between the sites different areas mainly depend on low slope ramps in addition to urban stairs. The huge difference in height in the site occurred due to the intense topography the site had and the inclination of the street. But, with the current modifications in levels the site unites in language and the transitions feel smooth. Leading from one space to the next almost like a defined journey through space.
COLLEGE OF ARTS AND BUILDING CRAFT
The Ground Floor Plan. The direction of the floor plan keeps the circulation interesting and allows for a journey through all the spaces with exists to the public space. In opposition to the cities planning. The design is very organized and leading against the dead end design of the city. The zoning of the ground floor is compartmentalized with each function having it’s own mass and separate space for better user experience and more functionality. The outdoor spaces are the nodes and meeting points for the masses. They finish the already existing lines of the masses and emerge from them while respecting the beauty and strength of the topography. The driving force for the design was inclusion and that was fulfilled by the absence of gates or fences and still the site with respected by the presence of the guiding lines and difference in material.
The Second Floor Plan. The second floor plan followed the same design aesthetic and sense of inclusion. But, this time unifying the masses and still giving the educational mass its space to standout finishing the space with its neighboring mass and creating a nice shared space with the neighboring campus. The same logic for the circulation was followed to allow for utmost inclusion.

The Background. The social hub of the house in Qalyoub is the ground floor. It is where people gather, eat together and operate their businesses. The ground floor is for family. Parents usually build family homes for their children and future generations but they always set the ground floor for their needs and their familys wishes. This house belongs to a woman named Om Fatma. She’s the dominant charachter in her household like most of the women in Qalyoub. She’s responsible for all the work.

The Concept. We are designing a house for a family of four. A married couple with two kids. The wife is a graphic designer who’s very upbeat and different the husband is a lawyer who’s very firm and disciplined. Their kids are five andSECTION seven and love playing around. Designing for this AXONOMETRIC family, we wanted to reflect their identities on their home and that’s PERSPECTIVE why we were inspired by Aires Matius’ house in a house and Tadao Ando’s facades. We wanted to reflect the sharpness of the husband in the exterior form and the abstractness of the wife in the interior body. We wanted to reflect caged chaos, chaos that meant something and just like the couples relationship we wanted to show that opposites can attract and become even stronger together.
