ABSTRACT
A
BSTRACT
We were asked to investigate the problems in Delta and Focus on a specific problem and find an architectural solution to it. After researching about the different governorates and cities we were mostly interested in the city of Rosetta “Rasheed”, in Al Beheira Governorate, and its amazing historical background. We felt the need to find out why is Rosetta not a touristic destination, being the largest city after Cairo that has Islamic Monuments, as well as its strategic location at the intersection of the Mediterranean sea and river Nile. Moreover, the city rich with its unique cultures, traditional handcrafts and it is famous for yacht productions. Therefore, we started looking for reasons and statistics, and accordingly we settled on a project that would help revive the tourism in Rosetta. We travelled to Rosetta, conducted interviews with the people there and visited the monuments there which motivated us to try and find a solution for the heritage deterioration. Due to the negligence of the historical monuments from the government, Rosetta started to lose the strong identity it had, and its history is starting to fade away. Hence, losing its image as a touristic city. The proposed project is mainly dealing with the heritage deterioration by creating “Rosetta heritage complex” that is going to allow people to rediscover the treasures of Rosetta.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Historical Background 1.1 Introduction: Egypt is a unique touristic destination , which has witnessed many historical eras. It is rich with many historical cities and sites. One of them is Rosetta, the city of million palm trees, which follows El- Beheira Governorate. Rosetta, once a major Mediterranean harbor, is now a forgotten Egyptian city with a hidden treasure of Ottoman roots. It has traditional crafts such as a palm leaves furniture, shipbuilding and carpet weaving workshop. The total area of city is 2.5 km 2 and is elevated 15m from sea level. It contains large amount of monuments and archeological sites. It is the second after Cairo in number of the Islamic monuments.
Fig 1.1 city location, data source (google maps), illustrated by (authors,2019).
Concerning its governorate, Beheira is by far the largest governorate as to area of agricultural lands, estimated at 1623.59 thousand feddans. The governorate has 4 industrial zones: in Natron Valley, Al- Bousili Desert, New Nubaria and Edco. Beheira is also distinguished with many tourist attraction sites constituting the foundation for tourism development in the governorate. Rosetta branch on the Nile River extends to meet the Mediterranean to the East at Alexandria city. The north coast of Beheira governorate is a natural extension to Alexandria coasts. ( State Information Service, 2016).
1.2 Context Rosetta is located near the Nile junction (The West Bank of the Rosetta branch) with the Mediterranean Sea, east of Alexandria, which is not further than 15 km. This site has made it available to be one of the main delta exits, where the Rosetta branch was considered as one of the most important transportation routes, especially in the middle age Boundaries: - From North: The Mediterranean Sea. - From South: Abu Mandour and Sand Dunes. - From East: Branch of Nile River. - From West: Abu Qir Bay.

Historical Background 1.3 Historical Overview Pharonic and Batlimic era Rosetta is the ancestor of many human settlements, dating back to the Predynastic period. Sources indicate that it was conquered by Menes in the 4th millennium BC during his campaign to unite Upper and Lower Egypt. Remains of these ancient settlements have been discovered over the area of Tall Abu Mandur. Also, historic data mentions a temple in the same area, referred to as Bulbitinum, which was probably was built for Cleopatra. Evidence from that time can be seen everywhere in Rosetta; in mosque columns, as well as in stones with hieroglyphic inscriptions in building. Sources of the Coptic era refer to a town called Rekhit, which became Rashid after the Arab conquest and is still used today. Roman era Moreover, some sources say that round 270 A.D., the Roman Emperor Aurelian constructed a castle and walls around the city, most likely to protect it from Persian and Nubian invasions. The city used to be tremendously influential in the twelfth century, when the route to Alexandria was through Rosetta using the Khabur canal, which was later disregarded and used to be totally sanded at the end of the 14th century. This caused the city to lose its commercial position, because of the crippling of this route.

Mamelukess era The Mamluk period marked the beginning of Rosetta development and, under Ottoman rule, reached its peak. In the 18th century, Rosetta was Egypt's main commercial port, ahead of Alexandria. As a result, the city's streets were packed with traders from around the world, creating a mul ticultural environment reflected in the faรงades and the still current architectural style.

Historical Background 1.3 Historical Overview Mamelukes Era In the late 1400s, commercial activities in Rosetta were on hold after the Portuguese discovered Cape of Good Hope. Shortly after, Sultan Qayitbay constructed his castle in Alexandria in 1479, After that he became to Rashid and constructed a fortress at the border of 'Izbat ai-Burg village, at the northern part of Rosetta. Ottoman Era As the Ottomans invasion continued to threaten Egypt, around 1515 Sultan “Al-Churi� extended and repaired the fortress of Qayitbay additionally built walls round Rosetta. But eventually the city has fallen in 1517. At an early stage, the Ottoman conquest of Egypt introduced no fundamental modifications to the city. Moreover, the city grew to be Egypt's closest port to Istanbul and all ships carrying merchandise from Istanbul landed there, Egypt became the Empire's main provider of rice, grain and other products.

The French Invasion Napoleon invaded Egypt In 1798, launching the Expedition d'Egypte. A year later, as Napoleon's army stayed in Qayitbay's fortress, the most essential Egyptological discovery of all time was found its walls: the Rosetta Stone. The stone had written text in 3 languages: hieroglyphics, demotics, and Greek. The French scholar Jean-Feancois Champollion subsequently examined the stone and after many years managed to translate it in 1822. The French presence did not last for a long time but led to an increase in commercial movement of Rosetta as French merchants had free passage to the city.

Historical Background 1.3 Historical Overview The British Invasion At 1801, the British intervention came and ended Napoleon's time in Rosetta. The British navy launched attacks on Egypt along with the Ottomans, and Napoleon was Defeated. In 1805 Mohammed Ali took the throne of Egypt. After two years, he defeated Fraser who was leading the British forces in a battle round the city of Rosetta .

Muhammed Ali Era Years after, Muhammad' Ali started to modernize Egypt. Consequently, railroads have been constructed, industries had been built up and the street network was improved. As a result, land transport grew to become better and a lot more cost effective than transport by the river. Muhammad 'Ali also appeared to prefer the development of Alexandria over Rosetta, which was no longer related with Cairo on a direct railroad. Rosetta was also bypassed by the construction of the Al-Mahmdiyyah canal in 1819-20. The new canal connected Alexandria directly with the Nile, making sure that boats no longer had to stop in Rosetta on their way to the Mediterranean.
Conclusion:

In conclusion, Rosetta city had witnessed a different eras during its history. Its strategic location - one of the key Mediterranean accesses to Egypt-has made it an important military outpost since the early days. The city is known worldwide for the stone Rosetta, which was the gateway to hier oglyphic deciphering. The city’s trade has been affected after discovering the Cape of Good Hope. In the AH 9th / AD 15th century, it regained part of its importance again after the Ottoman conquest of Egypt and reached the height of its urban prosperity, including the construction of mosques and homes

Historical Background 1.6. Heritage of Historical Sites The number of heritage buildings fell from 52 in 1963 to 37 in 2006. The city has several informal markets in the historic area's streets, resulting in traffic jam and garbage accumulation. Regulatory Framework National policies support heritage cities to be upgraded. The government declared Rosetta a tourist city by law 13/1986. However, there is a lack of specific heritage building codes that would allow the city's old urban fabric to be preserved. The three authorities responsible for the city and its historic area are in conflict. First it is the duty of Al- Beheira Governorate to issue licenses to erect new buildings or to modify or clear existing ones, either within or outside historic areas. Secondly, the Endowment Ministry, which provides services to a number of historic mosques Thirdly, the Supreme Council for Antiquities is responsible for the maintenance and reconstruction of historic buildings listed in the national registrar. The authorities ' disagreement and lack of coordination led to the decline of historical regions. Several leased stores in the historic buildings ' ground level have been used for such purposes as raising cattle and livestock and holding horses, practices that are not suitable for the design and character of the area and have a negative effect on the monuments.

1.7 Rosetta Coastal line development The formation, growth and decline of Rosetta are closely connected with the river and the Mediterranean Sea. The city is situated on one of the Nile's main branches (Rosetta branch) near its Mediterranean drainage location. Water has influenced the city's surroundings, whether from the Nile or the Mediterranean, placing it further or nearer to the coast. In the 16th century, the nearest Rosetta was to the coast.

URBAN ANALYSIS

Urban Studies 2.1 City’s Location and Context: Location: Rosetta city has a very strategic location, connecting Alexandria and El-Beheira Governorates. It’s one of the Nile Delta cities located at the Northeastern part of El-Beheira Governorate, on the West Branch of the Nile River. The surrounding area expands towards the west reaching the borders of “Edku Lake”. The city lies between longitudes of 30◌ْ 20’00” and 30◌ْ 26’00”, and latitudes of 31◌ْ 22’30” and 31◌ْ 30’00”, as shown in Figure (2.1.1).
Fig.2.1.1 .Maps showing Rosetta City location and its links with the surroundings, Data Source (El-Raey, Fouda and Gal, 1999), illustrated by (Authors,2019)
Context: The city is surrounded by the Mediterranean sea from North, Abu Kir Bay from West, Abou Mandour Hill and sand dunes from South, and from East it is bounded by the Nile river branch named after it. The city is 263 Km away from Cairo to the North, 60 km away from Alexandria to the East, 159 Km away from Tanta to the North, and 186 Km away from El-Mansoura to the West, as shown in Figure (2.1.2). Fig.2.1.2 Map showing context of Rosetta city and its links with other cities, Data Source (Google maps, 2019), illustrated by (Authors,2019)

Urban Studies 2.2 Urban Development: Through years, Urban expansion of the Rosetta city has been horizontally towards the West, as shown Figure 2.2.1, infringing the agricultural lands surrounding it, which are dense with high quality palm trees. These lands are acting as the limiting boundaries for the urban areas, from the North and the West, all along the longitudinal direction of the city, and from the south merely next to Abou Mandour hill, which is deemed as a natural Southern edge for the urban extension. Another natural edge, is the basin of the Nile River acting as the Eastern boundary of the city. Therefore, the only feasible directions for the urban extension are to the West and Northwest of the city, in spite of the high cultural and economic loss that would be entailed from this unplanned and undirected expansion (El-Ibiary, 2006).

Fig.2.2.2 Maps gathering all the phases of the city's urban extension, (Authors,2019)
As shown in the following map, Figure (2.2.3), Rosetta city was divided into six regions that differ in their urban patterns, their different uses, and their stages of development (El-Ibiary, 2006), these are: 1. The old region: It is the first nucleus of the city, which occupies the strip on the Nile River. It is characterized by the distinctive traditional old housing where it consists of buildings with a height of 3-4 floors and with mixed uses, such as residential uses, commercial uses as well as craft workshops. Further, it is where the commercial center of the city and most of the historical buildings are located. This area occupies about 110.6 acres with a population density of 200 people/acre.

Urban Studies 2.2 Urban Development: 2. The cemeteries region: It is located in the southern part of the city, and due to the urban sprawl, large areas have been deducted from it, which necessitated the construction of a wall around it to prevent the random urban extension on it. Moreover, it lacks main services and facilities and suffers of poor road conditions.This area occupies about 65 acres with a high population density of 215 people/acre. 3. Abu Al-Rish region (Rural Housing): It is located at the North of the city and it has a rural character, where the buildings are of mudbrick with height of one floor in most cases. Some modern public housing units and traditional dwellings were built there. Abu Rish Gate is deemed as one of the important Islamic monuments of this region. This region depends in its services on the city center. It is about 25.5 acres with a density of 170 people/acre.

4. Services area: It is located in the north-east of the city, and it is where most of the city's services are concentrated, including educational, health, and administration facilities. Old housing of different materials exist due to the increasing population. It occupies 30 acres with high population density of 350 people/acre.

Urban Studies 2.2 Urban Development: 5. The Western region (Slums area): It is the random extension as a result of the population increase, located at the west of the city. This region is divided into two parts, the eastern high level part, which causes problems in the infrastructure networks, and the western low level part, where modern buildings are extended. There are some vacant lands and there is a lack of all types of services, such as educational, health and social services. Its housing is divided into two parts: the old traditional buildings located in the eastern part, consisting of 3-4 floors, and the modern buildings with one floor located in the western part. This area occupies about 60 acres with density of 70 persons/acres. 1 Floor 3-4 Floors

6. Abu Mandour Region: It is located at the southern end of the city. It was classified as a private housing belonging to the Reconstruction Bank and Public Housing. Buildings are built out of with modern materials and this area is considered as one of the planned areas. It occupies about 41.6 acres with a density of 60 people/acre.

Fig.2.3.2 Diversity of Urban Patterns (Authors, 2019).
1. Orthogonal urban fabric: It appears in the coastal areas on the Nile and in the Southern part in Abou Mandour region. It has experienced a gradual process of replacement, which resulted in a good urban conditioned area, that is planned to some extent (El-Ibiary, 2006). 2. Irregular urban fabric: It appears in the regions of modern urban extension, which is unplanned and located in the Western part of the city. It exits also in the Northern extension “Abou Al-Rish”, where the random rural housing exits.
Urban Studies 2.4 Road Hierarchy: As mentioned previously, the street network of Rosetta is not constructed according to a grid, contrariwise roads are random and not organized to a fixed pattern. As shown in (Fig.2.4.1), main arterial Roads are few unlike the narrow secondary roads.

Fig.2.4.1 Rosetta Road Hierarchy map, Data source (General Organization for Physical Planning, 2016), illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
Fig.2.4.2 Rosetta Road Hierarchy Percentage, (Author, 2019)
Rosetta is accessible from the main roads, which are “Al-Bahr Al-Aazam” road at the Western side of the city aligning the Nile River, with width of 15m, “Abdelsalam Aref/ Rashid-Alex” road, passing through the center of the city, and “Madrab Al-Tahrir” road, both of width 20m. However, the majority of the city’s streets are collector streets and Alleys. These are irregular in pattern, specially in the old region, and their width do not exceed 3-5 m. Secondary roads have a very poor existence and they are mainly branching out of the main roads. 22
Urban Studies 2.4 Road Hierarchy: Concerning their condition, the further away from the main roads approaching the center of the city, the worse the condition of the streets. The main roads are properly asphalted and have the best condition compared with other roads. Secondary streets are asphalted as well, but not in a very good condition. However, other streets, represented in alleys and collectors, are of a bad condition as they get narrower approaching the city’s center. Some of these are poorly asphalted while others are rugged and sandy roads.

Urban Studies 2.5 Transportation Analysis: Since the main roads are asphalted and are the only access to the city, they are suitable for the heavy and main transportation vehicles, these include trucks with their different types, such as delivery trucks, factories trucks..etc, micro-buses for visitors and residents of other cities and cars. The number of cars decreases gradually as we head towards the city center, where the markets and souq are located, as the condition of the streets is not suitable and they keep getting narrower as mentioned previously. Locals frequently use the toktok for transportation, as large percentage of the locals cannot afford purchasing a car. Alleys between buildings are walkable to some extent, but yet not very pedestrian friendly.

Urban Studies 2.6 Solid and Void: As shown in Figure (2.6.1), the fabric of the city is very dense and the solid to void ratio is clearly high within the built up area, as the solid ratio is about 85% to 15% of void. While surrounding the current urban clusters there are large void spaces bordering the city and they are in risk of decreasing due to the random extend.

Commercial buildings are few compared with other categories, representing 4% of the total buildings and located mainly on the main road “Alex-Rashid Road”. Cemeteries, illustrating 2% of Rosetta’s total area, are positioned at the center of the city, surrounded by residential buildings. Industrial facilities are gathered, to some extent, occupying a strategic location at the connection of the two main roads . Other building types such as educational, religious,..etc represent very small percentages of the total area. 26

Three to four floors buildings are mostly residential buildings and Historical Ottoman houses. They are not condensed in certain regions, contrariwise they are scattered among the whole city, forming about 49% of the total area. The percentage of one to two storey buildings is less, 39%, and represented mainly in public services and certain facilities, such as educational, historical, religious buildings, workshops and industrial facilities.

Buildings of moderate condition constitute the highest percentage, they are represented mostly in residential buildings scattered all over the city, educational buildings and the hospitals or health buildings. Deteriorated buildings, not with a small percentage, are buildings either neglected by their owners or by the government and are not being maintained or renewed. Poor conditioned buildings are mostly markets, souq and public central services.

Urban Studies 2.12 Landmarks Map: As previously mentioned, Rosetta has a considerable historical value and is rich with monuments, specially those dating back to different old islamic eras. Figure (2.12.1) illustrates the main landmarks in Rosetta City, including mosques, houses, museum,.etc.
Fig.2.12.1 Rosetta landmarks map, Data source (General Organization for Physical Planning, 2016)
Most of Rosetta’s monuments are represented in islamic houses, reaching about 24 houses, dating back mostly to the Ottoman era. Islamic houses are mainly condensed in the Western part of the old region. The city is also famous of its mosques, such as Abou Mandour mosque, Abou Al-Azayem mosque and many others. However, Rosetta suffers from the lack of museums and exhibiting facilities, as it has only one museum, which was anciently a historical house, and this is located at the center of the city in the eastern part of the old region. Another gigantic monument is the Qaitbay Citadel.

PROJECT SELECTION
47
Project Selection 3.1 Common Problems According to site visit and some of the interviews conducted there, it was clear that Rosetta is a special city with unique characteristics due to many things including its valuable resources, agriculture, culture and heritage, so if these resources were thought of properly, the suitable project will be found and will succeed. So the common problems are listed briefly then accordingly we reach the main problem we chose to focus on and the project suitable for it. Red Brick Industry
Palm Trees Industry
Unemployment
Ship Production
Heritage Deterioration
Immigration Fig.(3.1.1),Common Problems illustration, (Authors,2019)
3.1.1. Problem of ship Production Even though there are over 40 workshops for boat productions, only one of them has a license to operate, which highlights the lack of governmental supervision. Moreover, the expenses of getting the license is 250,000 LE, which is unreasonable and restraining to the owners, in addition, the cost of the materials used in the productions (wood, steel, ‌) has increased greatly, to the point where there is almost no profit for the business owners (Teresa, Ahmed & Mohamed, 2018).
Fig.(3.1.2), Ship under construction seen in Rosetta, (Authors,2019)
48
Project Selection 3.1.2. Unemployment Lack of jobs due to seasonal jobs like fishing, ship production and agriculture. 3.1.3. Palm Trees Industry The palm trees industry is also deteriorating, as the expenses needed to plant the tree are much higher than the profit it gains, through either the palm industry or using the palm leaves to create handcrafts and pieces of furniture. This could be traced back also to the lack of awareness of the value of their industry (Teresa, Ahmed & Mohamed, 2018).
Fig.3.1.3, Palm Trees in Rosetta, (Authors,2019)
3.1.4. Red bricks industry The red bricks industry is negatively affecting the climate and is harming the environment, as it is formed from the burning of the clay which leads to pollution problems and other environmental problems. Fig.3.1.4, Red Brick Industry seen in Rosetta, (Authors,2019)
3.1.5. Immigration In a new disaster for illegal immigration witnessed the city of Rosetta on Wednesday 21 September 2016, the sinking of an illegal immigration boat in the area of north-eastern Rashid, carrying about 400 illegal immigrants of the nationalities of Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia and Egypt. The Coastal Guards and Border Guards forces with the help of Rashid people rescued about 164 people of them 117 Egyptians, 43 of different nationalities, 4 crew of the boat, and 42 bodies have been recovered.

Project Selection 3.1.6. Sea Level Rise The rate of erosion at the cape of the Nile in the city of Rosetta has reached its peak compared to other Egyptian beaches where it erodes 60 acres annually, and the eroded areas of the same area reached 733 acres from 1987 to 2000. As a result, the Rosetta Wall was established in 1990 to protect the city with length of 5 kilometres. 1600 1700-1800 1900

Fig.3.1.7 , Coast evolution from the 17th to the 20th century, (Belgacem, 2009)
3.1.7. Transportation Problem Traveling to Rosetta is not very easy due to the lack of public transportation to the city, as the only way for tourists to come to the city is from Alexandria and most of the time they come with the travel agencies' buses because there is only a single railway track connecting it to Alexandria and it is very poor.
Fig.3.1.8 Photo of Public Transportation in Egypt, (Google, 2019).
3.1.8. Heritage and Culture Problem Rosetta is considered the largest city containing Islamic monuments after Cairo. Rosetta varies in historical sites, including 22 historical houses, 12 mosques, the mill of Abu Shaheen, the gate of Abu Rish, the bath of Azzouz in the city of Rosetta and Qaitbay Castle in the village of Burj Rashid and the King's Palace in the village of Edfina.
50
Project Selection
Also, Burj Rashid is considered one of the most important historical places out there, as it contains Qaitbay castle which follows the design of Alexandrian Qaitbay castle and is the place where Rosetta stone was discovered. All of that besides the monuments that are stored because there’s no place made for their display. So this is the main problem that concerned us because Rosetta is now very neglected by the government, thus losing the title of being one of the most touristic cities in Egypt. 3.2 Problem Statement
Fig.3.1.9, Landmarks around Rosetta, (Authors, 2019)
So the main problem we decided to focus on is the heritage deterioration in Rosetta, as it has lots of monuments and one of the richest history and culture which has been gained from the ancestors of the city throughout the ages, so it already has a strong identity. But this identity was weakened by the negligence and lack of marketing which caused the culture to fade away with all its history. So our vision is ensuring the continuity of heritage by preserving culture and history and promoting tourism. Despite Rosetta’s historical and geographical value, tourism is very weak and does not contribute to the city’s economy. 3.3 Scope According to what was mentioned before, the proposed project is mainly dealing with the heritage deterioration in Rosetta and trying to save monuments and display them in a presentable way by creating “Rosetta Heritage Complex” that is going to make people explore Rosetta’s history in an interesting way through interactive spaces and galleries and then participating themselves in activities related to Rosetta. This will encourage the people of Rosetta to develop their work and give them a sense of belonging to the project.

Project Selection 3.5 Project Approaches Culture Approach: The project aims to ensure the preservation of Rosetta’s culture and heritage through the past ages, with focusing on creating different spaces that covers different activities of Rosetta. And focusing on user experience with an interactive way. Also focusing on documenting the culture heritage of the social life, traditions, products, cuisine and rich history. Touristic Approach: Our Goal is to let people know how beautiful and rich Rosetta is, after all it is the city where the famous Rosetta stone was found. In this complex, people will be able to see Rosetta from different aspects and understand its heritage and not only historically but also culturally. Social Approach: Spreading awareness and knowledge within local residents by participating in different activities and communicating with different types of people. As tourism will raise the economy of Rosetta and will help people sell their products as well as expose the people to different cultures. 3.6 Target Groups Tourists: External and internal tourists are the main support of our project, so targeting them ensures the continuity of our heritage and save the identity of Rosetta. Which will also help in Rosetta’s economy and make it an iconic spot locally and globally. Craftsmen: Will act as the working hands of the project, running all the workshops and product making. Youth: The Youth are considered the strength of the community and by targeting them we ensure the continuity of heritage by raising their sense of belonging through realizing the quality of the heritage they have.

The scheme of site selection criteria consists of : 1. Residence: One of our main objectives is to create a continuity of Rosetta’s heritage by providing intangible support for its people to delay its decrease over time. So that through our project locals will know their cultural heritage and it’s important, how invaluable, and touristic goal should be. For this reason it should be located in visual access to locals. 2. Landmarks: The chosen sites are mostly surrounded by attractive places that will help in magnetized people and make them more familiar to our project by making project a touristic destination. 3. Views: For a specific needs our selected project will have a good location with a good view of Nile, so the project can achieve the desired interaction between visitors and surroundings. 4. Accessibility: Since the inaccessible location will have a weak influence on number of visitors, so the project should be successfully accessible. 5. Flexibility: Most of public projects are probable have significant strain for future expansions that will have an influence on the selected sites locations.

Types of security: 1. Passive security: The design feature prevents threats whereas remaining mostly invisible to its users like using a smart design to feature a layer of privacy. 2. Active security: The traditional ways of providing security as Electronic gates, fences, barbed wire, security cameras, Finger print ,and armed security patrols. Level of security: 1. Minimum Safety Level: This type of security mainly depends on regular fences and used in open and public spaces. Application: 1. Play Grounds. 2. Public spaces for festivals and street events. 3. Piazzas & squares.

Design Issues 5.1 Security: 2. Medium security level: It is used to a large extent in all buildings and areas. This kind of protection depends mainly on the circulation which identify the buildings’ entrances and exits. Application: 1. MPU and Seminar halls 2. Public Centers 3. Markets 3. Maximum security level: This system is used in buildings that owns valuable things or places that need maximum control and high privacy. This type depends on police investigation cameras, alarms and security guards. Application: 1. Museums & Exhibitions 2. Libraries 3. Airports 4. Jails

Conclusion Our program contains museum which means we need the maximum security level of control and high privacy to protect the valuable collectibles in it, so we should use cameras, alarms, laser detectors, and security guards to achieve this level of security.
5.2 Safety: General definition: State of being protected from accidents and hazards to safe and healthy environment (WBDG Whole Building Design Guide, 2017) Architectural definition: Issues to be considered so as to reduce and prevent accidental injuries or death among users of such buildings or sites. Types of hazard 1. Physical hazard

2. Chemical hazard
Fig. 5.2.2: Chemical Hazard illustrated by (Authors,2019)
82
Design Issues 5.2 Safety: Requirements for safety achievement in a building: 1. Fire Protection System In The Building Planning for fire protection for a building involves a systems approach that permits a complete analysis for all the buildings’ parts by the designer as a complete fire fighting system package (WBDG Whole Building Design Guide, 2017). 2. Users’ health and safety protection Some injuries and illnesses are related to unhealthy or unsafe building design and operation. These can usually be prevented by taking into account issues such as indoor air quality, electrical safety, fall protection, ergonomics, and accident prevention.
Fig. 5.2.3: Safety Requirements illustrated by (Authors,2019)
3. Mitigation of natural hazards effects The building should properly be able to withstand the danger or effects of natural hazards that will affect health and safety of users. Fig. 5.2.4: Safety Requirements (Earthquake natural hazard And Flooding Risk) illustrated by (Authors,2019)
3. Users’ security protection Effective secure building design involves implementing countermeasures to block, detect, delay, and reply to attacks from human aggressors. It is additionally a way for mitigating measures to limit hazards and to prevent dangerous injuries and supply resiliency for the building.
Fig. 5.2.5: Safety Requirements illustrated by (Authors,2019)
Conclusion: Safety precautions should be taken into consideration while designing the building, to achieve the most safe building for users. We should take care of fire fighting system, egress management, clarity of egress paths, sufficient lighting and emergency plan requirements.
5.3 Circulation: General Definition: Movability to, from, around or within a space, especially that of flow in a closed system (Portico Space, 2016). Architectural Definition: It is the movement of users through the spaces of a building. (Ching, 2017). Circulation routes are the network that connects the outside of the building and the inside through vertical and horizontal paths ( Veronica Estremadoyro, 2008).
83
Design Issues 5.3 Circulation: Types Of circulation: 1. Horizontal Circulation: It includes paths, corridors, hallways, lobbies, atria, travelators, entries and exits. It is usually affected and controlled by furniture layout or other existing objects in space, such as columns trees, etc. Patterns of horizontal circulation: Linear
Axial

Fig. 5.3.5: Escalators, Data Source (Archdaily, 2019), illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
84
Design Issues 5.3 Circulation: Use: - Public circulation: The most widely and easily accessible areas of the building. Visibility issues, how users move, and lucid escape paths are critical. (Portico Space, 2016). - Private circulation: Represents the more intimate locomotion within the building that require a degree of privacy. ( Portico Space, 2016). Applications: 1. Stairs are mainly used in all buildings as the main vertical circulation system. 2. Escape/Emergency stairs are used in all the buildings exceeding 10 storeys. 3. Ramps and elevators are used for handicapped, and their usage depends on the available areas. Examples of circulation: 1. Guggenheim museum in New York, USA: Ramps are the main circulation system in the museum, going in floating spiral form flowing from one level to another without breaking. The goal of using this type of circulation is to emerge up towards the light in a pilgrimage-like journey.

Fig. 5.3.10 Horizontal and vertical circulation in Etihad Museum, Data Source (tribe-vibe.net,2017)
Conclusion: Circulation in museums, exhibitions and heritage-related projects is very important, as it is the main factor affecting the exploration of the space by users and linking all the spaces together, so it should be well designed to provide the visitors with satisfying experience. Visitors generally like to keep in contact visually with familiar space. There are many other factors affecting the circulation of visitors, the most important are: 1. Landmarks: Placing an attractive object in the center of a gallery will make people walk toward or around it. 2. Inertia: People often tend to continue in the same direction unless there is a force that tends to change their way. 3. Right turn bias: When coming to a choice, people generally tend to take the turn right unless there is stronger forces or attractions.
5.4 Flexibility: General definition: The quality and ability to be modified and changed, without damaging or breaking (Cambridge Dictionary, 2019). Architectural Definition: It is the capability of a building to adapt or change its function, space layout or even structure, when external change occurs or when modification is required to evolve needs (Geoff, 2007).
86
Design Issues 5.4 Flexibility: The flexibility mainly represented in 4 types: 1. Adaptability: The ability to change the materials or components of a building, in response to external stimuli (Geoff, 2007).
Fig. 5.4.1: Sketches showing adaptability, illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
2. Movability: The ability of relocating and repositioning building elements to renew elsewhere mobile buildings (Geoff, 2007).
Fig. 5.4.2: Sketches showing Movability, illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
3. Transformability: The capability of adding and removing some the building’s components (Geoff, 2007).
Fig. 5.4.3: Sketches showing transformability, illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
87
Design Issues 5.4 Flexibility: 4. Responsiveness: The potential of the building to respond to external influences, including energy/environment interaction, and usage or occupation (Geoff, 2007).
Fig. 5.4.4: Sketches showing responsiveness, illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
Examples of Flexibility: 1. Movable Puma City/ Multiple global ports: 24 shipping containers are grouped together to create a store of 3 storeys, with area 11,000 sq., including 2 decks and a lounge area. This store is transportable and act as a global port. It is currently at The Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009. It is transported to each location (Alicante, Boston, Stockholm) and it is congregated quickly (Archdaily, 2008).

2. Flexible and adaptable urban habitat/ India: Architect achieved flexibility through space modules, that can be reconfigured, fitted as required and changed easily in future. Changes can happen without any kind of disturbances to the above and below occupants.
Fig. 5.4.6 Sketches showing adaptability and flexibility, illustrated by (Authors, 2019).
Conclusion: The project’s spaces should be adaptable to cope with the diverse capacities and to be effectively adjustable in future keeping the same quality. The more flexible the building, the increased building immortality and reduced waste. Flexibility can be found in the project in the merging of different areas as MPUs, Exhibition halls, etc. Flexibility will also be taken into consideration as if further future extension is needed. 88
Design Issues 5.5 Interaction: General definition: The success or impact of things on the observers (J Reich, 2017). Architectural Definition: A batch of behaviours of an individual or group represent based on planned or arranged zones (Usman Haque, 2011). Types of interaction: 1. Interaction between the users: It is the social interaction between two or more users, through sharing ideas, speaking and trusting each other. 2. Interaction between the users and the building: Interaction between a buildings and its users increase its value. This type of interaction results in exploring and understanding the building function by users, as well as participating in indoor and outdoor activities. 3. Interaction between the building and the surrounding context: Relation between the building and the surrounding environment should be strong, so that the building can last for longer period of time and can achieve the harmony with nature to not to be odd. Social Interaction: Orientation of two or more users in each other by actions, acts and practices. Group Interaction: The act of sharing and participating in activities under concern of training, learning and gaining experiences and skills. Types of social interaction: 1. Non-verbal communication: A type of communicating by delivering and receiving wordless messages. In architecture, this type can be represented by maps, signs and other instruction panels (lumenlearning.com,2017). 2. Social-exchange and cooperation: Cooperation between users or individuals through certain spaces, such as open spaces, plazas, entertainment spaces, etc., so they can realise their mutual interests, exchange and enhance their concepts, information and Fig. 5.5.2. Social Exchange, Fig. 5.5.1. Cooperation, cultures (lumenlearning.com,2017). illustrated by illustrated by (Authors, 2019) (Authors, 2019) 3. Competition: It is a contest between group of people within agreed rules for control over certain resources. This type needs a well defined space to take place (lumenlearning.com,2017).
Fig. 5.5.3. Competition, illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
89
Design Issues 5.5 Interaction: 4. Conflict: It is the struggle for power or for proving the efficiency of a certain point of view. Conflicts due to the interaction should be controlled by enhancing and providing fair and healthy methods of interaction for all the parties to get the extreme benefit result from this conflict (lumenlearning.com,2017). Examples of Interaction: Singapore Indian Heritage Center Shows the process of empowering people in design process.
Fig. 5.5.4: Conflict Diagram, illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
Fig.5.5.5 Outdoor interactions, Data Source (urbanarchhow.com, 2015), Illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
Conclusion: Interaction can be achieved in the project by applying some spaces that will help in social and groups cooperation, such as open spaces, plazas, the interactive museum, bazaar, etc. The target of the project should be the achievement of correspondence between people, surroundings and the atmospheric nature, in addition to enhancing their impact on each other in a positive and productive way.
5.6 Maintenance: General definition Actions made to conserve or keep the initial state of a resource as long as it could, or its the method of conserving one thing in its state. Architectural definition It is the state of keeping the building at its best either by utilizing it as it is or by changing it to be flexible in the face of different circumstances.
90
Design Issues 5.6 Maintenance: There are two main types for the maintenance: 1. Unplanned Maintenance Emergency maintenance: Technique of taking rapid actions once the problem or issue occur, it may be to prevent bigger issues from happening Corrective maintenance: Work on the structure must be done to achieve an appropriate standards for users. 2. Planned Maintenance Technique used to reduce cost of managing the power and its parts so as to reduce potentialities of major issues occurring instead of waiting for the problems to occur. Preventive Maintenance: One of the most important maintenance types, as it is the way of preventing future hazards or risks from affecting the building and make it able to last longer.
Fig. 5.6.1: Maintenance Activities Illustrated by (Authors,2019)
Conclusion: Building should have proper planned maintenance as it is the scheduled type of maintenance, so as to keep the building in its finest condition and to be adaptable with any upcoming circumstances.
5.7 Durability: General definition: The capability of a material, equipment, or machine to have a long useful life and be able to face pressure, damage and other stresses, without the need for maintenance (Oxford Dictionary, 2019). Architectural Definition: It is the capability of a building to perform and provide functionally important areas over a long period of time and to withstand pressure, environment, damage and other external factors (Celadyn, 2006). The durability of buildings is assessed as a measure of sustainability. According to Celadyn (2006), the following can be considered when discussing durability from a structural and architectural point of view : 1. Technical Length. 2. Functional of longevity. 3. Aesthetic Longevity.
91
Design Issues 5.7 Durability: Factors affecting building’s service life: 1. The purpose/ function of the building: Longevity of the building’s service life is mainly determined/expected according to its function. For example, Very long lifespan, up to 500 years, is desired for monumental buildings, while public buildings are expected to last for 100-200 years, whereas private buildings are not expected to last for more than 50-60 years (Celadyn, 2006). 2. Materials Characteristics: The selection of construction materials is a critical step, as it has a direct impact on the lifespan and the rate of deterioration of a building. As some materials have less confrontation power against external environmental factors, they tend to deteriorate faster (Celadyn, 2006). 3. Design, detailing and the exterior envelope of a building 4. Degree of maintenance
Fig. 5.7.1: Life Cycle cost analysis (Pinterest, 2018).
Fig. 5.7.2: Durability diagram ,(Pinterest, 2017).
Examples of Durability: Guggenheim museum, Spain: The exterior surfaces of the museum are made from 3 elements, which are: Titanium, stone and glass. Each of these is positioned based on form and functional reasons. Treated glass was used for the administrative facilities, to provide illumination for the internal spaces while protecting them against radiation and heat. Three layers of glass were applied to achieve acoustic and thermal insulation. Limestone cladding was used for the public facilities, to avoid checkerboard effect and to achieve variety in elevations materials. Fig. 5.7.3: Titanium Cladding, (Authors, 2019)
Fig. 5.7.4: Guggenheim museum, Data Source(images.adsttc.com, 2016), Illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
92
Design Issues 5.7 Durability: Conclusion: Durability is important in projects located on waterfront, due to the natural environmental conditions such as high humidity, acid rains, moisture, etc. Durable materials that are sun protective and water resistance should be used. Durability is also critical in heritage-related projects to achieve longevity of building’s lifespan.
5.8 Environmental Impact: General definition: The changes that affect the surrounding environment or individuals. Architectural definition: The impact of the building on the environment, and also it could be the impact of the environment on the building.
Fig. 5.8.1: The building is more like a boat from underneath recalling Bilbao port’s past industrial life The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, (Gehry Partners, 1997)
Types of Environmental Impacts: 1. Environmental on building: It is the impact of the environment on the building shape, to adapt with the environment, so as to achieve user’s satisfaction. 2. Building on environment: The building tends to be environmentally friendly and sustainable with a good impact on the environment, as we should use sustainable materials achieving a sustainable building doing its function perfectly. Conclusion: The building should be merged with the surrounding environmental context, interact with it, deal with it as an environment friendly building .
93
Design Issues 5.9 Energy Efficiency: General definition: The efficient use of energy to achieve user’s needs, with no wasting of the energy Architectural definition: The ability to reduce the amount of energy used in the building, For example insulated building materials minimize the amount of heat gained by the building to minimize air-conditioning usage. Approaches leading to energy-efficient building: 1. Minimize amount of energy the building will need to operate 2. Use renewable sources of energy in operating the building 3. Use sustainable technical systems
Fig.5.9.1:Sketch showing ways of energy Efficiency, by (Authors,2019).
Conclusion: The use of sustainable techniques in the building to optimize the usage of natural energy is a must, as using solar panels for generating energy, recycling of construction waste, etc.
5.10 Mood/ Ambience: General definition: A feeling or a state of mind that a person have for temporary time. It can be positive or negative (Yalanda Williams, 20). Architectural Definition: It is the feeling and impression that a user gets when entering a space or a building with a unique atmosphere (Ardehali, 2017) Factors affecting mood: 1. Physiological factors: Colours: They have influence on the feeling and psychological mood of an individual, they can change the people’s level of energy and health. Fig.5.10.1 Colors mood, Data source (Oliver,2013).
94
Design Issues 5.10 Mood/ Ambience: Lights: The source of illumination can be natural or artificial. studies showed that sufficient sunlight enhances the focus of an individual, and artificial lighting can help in achieving certain moods.
Fig.5.10.2: Sketch showing how lighting affects the user, illustrated by (Authors, 2019).
Views: Positive views improve the concentration level of the user and enhance his/her health and quality of work.
Fig.5.10.3: Sketch showing how elements affect the user, illustrated by (Authors, 2019).
Ceiling heights: Different levelling of ceiling influences the space occupants, and can be applied to achieve different tasks. For example, Low ceilings can be used in detailed tasks, while higher ceilings can be used in spaces of creativity and abstract thoughts.
Fig.5.10.4: Sketch showing how ceilings affect the user, illustrated by (Authors, 2019).
2. Physical factors: Materials: There are naturally like and artificially like materials that help delivering a specific mood to the users, as well as can give the feeling of happiness, depression, etc. Fig.5.10.5: Types of materials, illustrated by (Authors, 2019).
Scale and Form: Proportions and form of the space have direct affect on the nervousness, stress, comfort and happiness levels of users. They also can be used to achieve a certain message related to the visited space.
Fig.5.10.6: Sketch showing how ceilings affect the user, illustrated by (Authors, 2019).
95
Design Issues 5.10 Mood/ Ambience: Examples of Mood and Ambience: Tunis Village/ Fayoum, Egypt: All factors starting from colours, shapes, styles, textures, materials reaching the smallest decorative elements were applied and oriented to reflect the identity and to highlight the unique mood of the village.
Fig.5.10.7: Tunis Village, illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
Fig.5.10.8: Tunis Village, illustrated by (Authors, 2019)
Conclusion Factors affecting the mood should be taken into consideration, to be able to reflect the desired concept, and the remarkable culture of the region and its individuals.
5.11 Image General definition: An impression that a person, a product, or a concept of place reflects to the public. Architectural definition: Vision of any project by architect or owner that describe building message & represents city culture.
Influence of geometry on image
Fig. 5.11.1: Image geometry, Data source (Authors,2019)
1. Fluid geometry Curved and organic structures are considered the modernist architecture type of buildings. It shows the concept of freedom just by looking at it.
Fig. 5.11.2: Fluid geometry appears in the elevation of Heydar Aliyev Center, (Zaha Hadid,2012)
96
Design Issues 5.11 Image 2. Rectangular geometry The most common type of buildings as it reflects power and stability. It identify order and system in structures. It consists mainly of regular shapes as squares, rectangles, triangles, and any form of straight lines. Fig. 5.11.3: Rectangular geometry appears in the elevation of Falling Water building, (Frank Lloyd Wright,1935)
3. Pattern geometry It is a way of enhancing the building in the most aesthetic way. This type of geometry reflects different feelings to the users according to the type of pattern used and what is the concept behind it, so it is a flexible structures that gives a certain message and boost the image of the building. Fig. 5.11.4: Pattern geometry appears in the elevation of Al Bahr Towers, (diarconsult.com,2012), illustrated by (A Authors)
4. Classic structure Type of architecture that reflects the feeling of formality and authenticity of the old. It usually gives the observer/user the impression of a historical and valuable feeling of the space
Fig. 5.11.5: Classic geometry appears in the elevation of Versailles palace, (AndrĂŠ Le NĂ´tre & Louis Le Vau, 18th century)
Conclusion The buildings achieving the good image reflect the Uniqueness of the design and the architecture style. As a result, our building should be a remarkable structure to reflect ancient Rosetta's identity, revive the history of the place and bring back the long gone forgotten history of the city.
97
Design Issues 5.12 Legibility General definition: The quality of something to be clear enough (Oxford Dictionary, 2019). Architectural Definition: The aiding level of a designed building in producing an effective mental image of the relationships of spaces within a building, and the ease of way-finding for users. Factors of legibility 1. Layering It is a concatenation used to attain a success of the project for being usable as the desired function (Bird, 2013). The layers represent: Site, skin, structure, services, space and stuff, arranged from the outside to in with, and each layer has its period of time (Bird, 2013).
Stuff Space Plan Services Structure Skin Site
Fig. 5.12.1: Layering Data source (darkwing.uoregon.edu, 1994)
2. Orientation The movement of users is properly oriented starting from the main point “Entrance” as the beginning of the story (Koseoglu and Onder, 2011). Factors: - Sensory/ Psychological: Views, Privacy, Street activity, Noise reduction, etc. - Local Patterns: Street direction, Land use, Accessibility requirements. 3. Orientation The movement of users is properly oriented starting from the main point “Entrance” as the beginning of the story (Koseoglu and Onder, 2011). Factors: - Sensory/ Psychological: Views, Privacy, Street activity, Noise reduction, etc. - Local Patterns: Street direction, Land use, Accessibility requirements. 4. Plan recognition The clearness and easiness of a plan to be designed and used according to its function.
According to Kevin Lynch (1960): There are five main elements that make any building or urban fabric legible for people and easy to be read and found (way-finding) within an environment. Those are: Paths They are the main routes along which individuals move throughout the layout of a city, complex, Etc. Nodes They are the strategic focal points that help in the orientation of users, such as: squares, junctions, etc. 98
Design Issues 5.12 Legibility Edges They are borders and breaks in continuity, their penetrable level vary according to their function and the area they surround Landmarks They are physical objects acting as external orientation points for users, they often have special characteristics, such as: height, colour, etc. Districts They are medium-sized areas or grouped items that have common characteristics Examples of Legibility Siwa Cultural Community Center/ Egypt The project was divided into five main zones according to the type of users, to achieve clear circulation and legibility (Barakat, 2006).

5.13 Comfort General definition It is the state of feeling relaxed, worry and pain free (Dictionary.cambridge.org, 2019) Architectural Definition It is the manner one feels comfortable particularly in a space physically and physiological (Saberi, Saneei & Javanbakht, 2006) Physical Comfort The state of mind expressing satisfaction with the thermal environment, because thermal comfort varies for each individual Physiological Comfort Architectural psychology is the study of the interactions and interrelationships between humans (individually and collectively) and their physical environment.
99
Design Issues 5.13 Comfort Thermal comfort Thermal comfort is a state of mind expressing satisfaction with the surrounding thermal environment and as a result of subjectivity, thermal comfort is different for every individual (Raish, 2006). Thermal comfort is achieved by correctly matching internal thermal conditions and projections, based on past experiences and architectural standards (Brager, 1998). Visual Comfort It is approved that creating a comfortable visual satisfaction for users is to provide natural lighting than artificial lighting to give a feeling that the natural lighting is the main source of illumination. Acoustic comfort The way in which the structure of the building or the space affects the quality of sounds spoken or musical qualities, also the building should be designed to control and absorb all kinds of sounds.

Introduction King Abdelaziz center for world culture is a breath-taking massive project in the heart of Dhahran in the Eastern Province. The modern luxurious cultural center is built by Snøhetta and this firm was chosen especially because it provided a design that reflected multiple layers symbolizing the geological area of Saudi Arabia. The Cultural Centre, on a regional ,national and global perspective, will coordinate various activities that support the community and will become a cultural landmark. A new initiative project by the Saudi Aramco oil company to enhance cultural development throughout the country that resulted in a building never designed or built before in such a way: 5 separate buildings, including a library and concert hall, with cultural amenities that glow in the sun like luminous “pepples stones”. The stunning, free three-dimensional forms reached up to 90 metres height coated with a steel facade.
113
Case Studies Concept The design focuses on the kingdom's geological nature, using a variety of "rocks" with various sizes, symbolizing diversity. These rocks rest on each other to illustrate solidarity, demonstrating that all the different disciplines to be explored in the building are mutually dependent (saudiaramco.com, 2018). Regarding the design of this culture centre, the main approach was the chronological dimension, since the structural zoning is layered by period. The concept also extends to the materials used as; • The underground zone was influenced by the past in the underground rocks which was reflected in the museums and achieves. • The ground surface level represents the present with the performing art spaces. • The highest structure -which is rising up into the sky-; represents the future in the knowledge tower by the learning spaces and activities. Concept Development Sketches
The concept was mainly made up of 3 main rocks symbolizing the 3 main buildings in the project and they are reflecting the present, the past, and the future

Case Studies Design Issues 1. Circulation Circulation in museums is the main factor affecting the exploration of the space by users and linking all the spaces together. The circulation vertical and horizontal in KACWC achieved the clearance for the movement of users. As was shown in the circulation plan, there are 2 types of nodes public and private which are significantly clear and leading to the targeted places. The vertical circulation is clear in Fig. 6.2.14 and the main horizontal entrance in Fig.6.2.15

Case Studies Design Issues 3. Environmental Impact & Energy Efficiency The building should be merged with the surrounding environmental context, interact with it, deal with it as an environment friendly building and this should be reflected in the Building’s image and concept. 1. Environment on building was reflected on : The building’s concept was designing a desert icon as the building main concept was inspired from the geological nature of the desert. As the structure is made up of 5 pebble shaped forms each represents different main zone in the building and they are connected and resting on each other to reflect solidarity and dependency of the structures.

Case Studies Design Issues 3. Environmental Impact & Energy Efficiency KACWC is one of the most eco-friendly constructions in the world, connected to the desire to protect and revive the sustainability of the planet. 50% of building's waste -wood, steel and paper- has been recycled and most of the finishes used in the wood have been obtained from the sources that are sustainable. 2. The Building on the Environment “Sustainability” was reflected on : The Used material in construction was brought directly from the surrounding environment as Snoehetta started using local materials like rammed earth which is made up from clay, sand, and gravel. There were a number of challenges for the project team owing to the complicated design of the iconic building in the tough environment of Saudi Arabia and this was solved by many sustainable techniques to resist this problem.

Introduction The museum of Aga Khan displays a wide range of Islamic cultural and scientific achievements dating back to as far as ten centuries of history. This building is a temple-like house for a broad range of artifacts designed by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki working together with the local corporate Moriyama & Teshima. It includes areas specified by the lighting conditions. Portrait paintings, miniatures, textiles, manuscripts, tiles, ceramics, medical texts, books as well as musical instruments, which portrays the history of Muslim civilizations over the last 1,000 years, are featured in this collection. The museum’s site is within a big park (designed by the landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic) that includes numerous water features and gives the city of Toronto new green area. Ismaili center nearby, a novel prayer hall designed by Charles Correa complements the museum site.

Case Studies Concept
Maki, pictured the building as a configuration of a set of white folding surfaces that has a light-filled courtyard in the middle, inspired by a contemporary explanation of the Chahar bagh -the Islamic courtyard (Maki, 2018).
Fig.6.3.3 Agha Khan Museum Exterior Shot, (Maki, 2018)
The Museum design was inspired by his highness the Aga Khan, by a vision statement of “Light�. The concept of "light" was inspired by many human faiths and was called enlightenment for centuries of history. The Aga Khan had hopes that this building and the areas around it will be viewed as a celebration of light and the mysteries it holds illustrated at every moment of our lives by nature and the human soul. The main concept is especially reflected in Islamic sciences and writings. The project aim is to promote understanding and awareness within the Muslim community itself and between this community and other communities around the world (Maki, 2018).

Case Studies Site Challenges There was an existing building on the same site, The Ismaili Center, a religious, social and spiritual building and a prayer hall. So the main challenge was to make sure all of the pieces fit together and that the two buildings don’t contradict each other with respect to the materials, colour palette and form. Fortunately, light was the theme used in the design of the two buildings, but this theme was especially important to the Aga Khan Museum, as it was built on the concept of light celebration ("Islamic Cultural Spaces Come to Toronto | ASCE", 2019).

The museum is located at 45 degrees from true north, so it works as a big sundial, creating various shadow effects. Both buildings, sacred yet secular, are brought together through the gardens and landscape, with the aim to achieve a feeling of harmony in a park environment within the whole site ("Islamic Cultural Spaces Come to Toronto | ASCE", 2019).

These two sections through the museum’s auditorium shows the shape of the roof and shows that in order to attain optimal natural acoustics in the space with the particular genre of music into consideration (Sufi), the space volume had to be remarkably increased to reach higher reverberance, and the room shape was designed to have exceptional musical clearness. The origami dome roof was constructed seamlessly with the exterior in a successful way, while being extended higher than the rest of the building. The floating, slanted, isolated roof was constructed on two levels, isolated from each other and from the building itself. The dome roof consists of pre-finished aluminium panels that have the ability to change colors in varying light conditions, from almost white to red, to black and to champagne gold- their true color ("Islamic Cultural Spaces Come to Toronto | ASCE", 2019). 128
Case Studies Materials The architects thought about using limestone at first but then found it “too creamy”. They next considered marble then again they found that it is not hard enough to use as a cladding material. Anyhow, a type of Brazilian granite, its name is "margarita white", extracted from the Amazon jungle, was the most suitable for cladding in the northern climate and delivered the desired white colour.

Case Studies Design Issues 1. Circulation Circulation in museums is the main factor affecting the exploration of the space by users and linking all the spaces together. The building is only 2 floors so it has visible and clear circulation. Vertical circulation through stairs and elevators. And the horizontal circulation through the main corridors surrounding the courtyard.

2. Interaction At the center of the building, there’s a double-height courtyard. It's surrounded by four glazed walls, double-layered and imprinted with an ornamental pattern drawn from the eight-pointed star inspired from the Islamic “mashrabiya”, creating a three-dimensional effect on the smooth white interior walls animating the spaces inside as the sun moves during the day (Frearson, 2019).

Case Studies Design Issues 3. Mood and Ambience The building is focused on precision to the tiniest detail. As you enter the building you see that it has a very straightforward and clear language, with every element connecting to the other. This simplicity in design is not as easy as some might think, the building details is about simplicity, precision and cleanness. It is reflected with every material throughout the building, from the curtain walls to the smooth dry walls, to the metal panels, to the stone tiles in the flooring ("Islamic Cultural Spaces Come to Toronto | ASCE", 2019).

Case Studies Design Issues 5. Image The museum is positioned on a small hill that is noticeable visually at the intersection of two important, crowded artery roads north of downtown Toronto, the Don Valley Parkway and Eglinton Avenue. And a panoramic view of the city’s skyline can be enjoyed from the site. The building is located at 45 degrees from the true North in order to have a different shadow effects. But having a straight and forward vertical surface will make the shadows will be only cast on the adjacent ground, with no shadows on the building. That was how the shape of the building started to change, the lower half of the building angles inward, while the upper half angles outwards, giving the building the shape of an hourglass, which gave the desired outcome of having the building cast shadows upon itself, granting the effect of a sun dial.
The angular shape also gives a natural expression of the two level building. The building’s exterior is covered with white Brazilian granite. When somebody touches the facade, they find every angle polished and finished in a very accurate way.

Context The "worked" quality of a Palestinian landscape has all its elements and a history of intervention and production, culture, environment and trade has been touched on. As in the city, its history is embedded in the terraced landscape. The Palestinian Museum's approach draws on this terraced landscape story, integrates the museum into its nearest site and draws a wider history of a diverse culture from this site. The site consists of a series of cascading terraces formed by stone walls of fields that trace the area's previous land terraces.

Introduction The Grand Museum of Egypt is the world's largest museum that will contain most of the Egyptian artifacts as it is one of Egypt's largest museums, located on the first desert plateau outside Cairo, between the major Pyramids of Giza and Cairo. The Museum will comprise a conference facilities, multimedia facilities and library as it is a cultural complex of activities devoted to Egyptology. The resolution of various activities and support services, which met the needs of visitors of public, private, tourism and academia, the museum and the conference, achieving a complicated and demanding brief. Exhibition space is 30,000 m2 and there is an auditorium for 800 persons. The visitors to the world of the Pharaohs require 4,8 million visitors per year to have a clear and smooth feeling of movement while giving them an equal quality of experience, whether old or young, capable or disabled, as they use the Great Stair. The project seeks to set up a state-of - the-art museum complex with facilities and access to a wide range of data. The complex offers a unique, educational and cultural experience for all its visitors. The design of a new museum has been challenged by architects to fulfill the huge collections and to enable visitors to' investigate ' the many routes which a modern museum can offer. In the context of displayed artifacts, an evocative thematic and cultural-sensitive approach is displayed.

The Grand Egyptian Museum proposal starts with the creation of a new "edge" to the Plateau, forming a thin veil of textured stone structured by geometrical pattern, a gentle incline that opens and closes like pictured in the desert sand. From Cairo, a dynamic identity is built in the newly registered surface of translucent stone, yet the surface traces a new visual path toward the Pyramids from the museums. The museum wall can be understood as an architectural and an intensifying structure of (physical) and spatial (effective) folding within the face of the Plateau. Relation between museum & pyramids The museum is positioned in a space inscribed by number of visual axes from the site to the three Pyramids in a 3-dimensional framework. in plan, the structure lines of the museum are drawn along the same visual lines. in section, the entrance and its parks of the museum is constructed along the ascent to the plateau level.
Site Challenges The 50 hectares site comprises a broad range of gardens, which provide the local community and visitors with park facilities. The GEM also has an auditorium for 700 people and a smaller theater with a meeting place. The aim is to provide local activities on the west side of Cairo and also to extend the museum to not only a repository but also a learning center.

This museum is constructed as a complex that gather different activities together in one place which contribute about Egyptology. The ancient Egyptian heritage can be explored in different perspectives. Therefore, the museum is both has cultural resources and interactive cultural artifacts On the western edge of the museum the CCEC buildings are located overlooking the Remayah house and separated by the GEM road from the house. A buffer area of trees is planted to provide privacy and security for the transportation of artifacts from external interference. The building has been lowered ten meter below the road level to improve safety, which also allows efficient techniques for the construction of a retaining wall with the whole east side of the access road and the delivery yard of the Conservation Center. In addition, Exhibition galleries, storage archeological studies and education center, library and media library, museum for children, outdoor schools and playgrounds, cultural and educational museum for special needs, workshops for adults and children on the theater and on the art and crafts; retail stores, restaurants, beverages, and recreational areas. 145

The façade forms the plateau's edge by day, with the surface fractured and geometrically structured. The Translucent Wall echoes at night the accuracy and shimmer of the glass-like polished surface of the pyramid-spreading steel veneer. 146

Case Studies
Fig.6.6.1 Exterior Faรงade of Etihad Museum, Data Source (archdaily.com, 2017)
Introduction Around the Union Historic Building, where the unification document of the country was signed in 1971, the Etihad Museum is constructed. The Union "Etihad" Museum was constructed to celebrate the signing of the United Arab Emirates document in 1971, honouring its unique culture and history. Most of museum is located under the ground containing theatres, permanent galleries, temporary galleries, event spaces, and archives. The entrance is emphasized by resting lightly on a big plaza and pool, consisting of parabolic curves which symbolizes a floating paper on which the unification agreement was written on. Seven rows of golden pillars are representing the writing act which united the 7 emirates in the unification. Etihad Museum's permanent exhibition consists of eight storytelling sections focusing on the Emirates history before and after unification and the union of the 7 Emirates into one single federation.
153
Case Studies Concept The Main concept was focusing on representing the paper and the pens by which the paper was written by. The parabolic roof which defines the main shell of the building represents the paper on which the unification document was written on. The form and the angle of the pens appearing to be in motion, with reference to the writing action the formed the 7 emirates in the unification paper was expressed by a set of 7 rows of embossed bronze columns.

Case Studies Site Challenges 1. Concept and Studies Challenges 1.1. This project involved a number of stakeholders 1.2. Different contractors ' and consultants ' nationalities result in complicated connection between them 1.3. Difficulty in the access to the historical documents needed for initializing the designing stage 2. Design challenges 2.1. Several updates and improvements to the architecture design to reflect the historical eras 2.2. Renovate and Restore the surrounding historical buildings as Etihad house and Guest house 2.3. Difficulty in design stage due to the high water flow near the project's site as it is next to the beach (Jumeirah Beach) 2.4. Regarding the storytelling concept in the museum, the design considerations focused on the availability of historical artifacts. 3. Construction challenges 3.1. Strict tight timeline (18 months) for project completion. 3.2. The deep excavation that will be digged around the Etihad house was a great concern as this house is a historical one as the total volume of excavation is 172,400 mÂł . 3.3. Renovate and Restore the surrounding historical buildings.

Case Studies Plan Zoning The zoning in the plans was focusing on the main concept of storytelling of the history of United Arab Emirates and the history of Unification. The Etihad Museum is composed of three essential parts which are The Union Building (Zone 14 Fig. ()), the Guest House (Zone 22 Fig. ()), and the Visitor's Pavilion (Zone 1 Fig. ()). Those three parts includes temporary and permanent exhibitions, auditorium, library, timeline with interactive videos and maps to show UAE history, educational facilities, and recreational spaces. The total number of exhibition halls is 10 halls, each one designed in different way to suit the type of artifacts that will be shown inside it.

Case Studies Plan Zoning The Pavilion tourists are taken to a luxurious storytelling experience through a wide staircase and ramp whose forms are expressed in the superb and fluidity of Arabic script calligraphy. When descending, tourists enter once more the iconic circular shape of Union House by way of a newly established foundation wall paved with carved stone like a dune. This recognizable feature (Union House) is a central guiding factor in the museum's flow of circulation and offers tourists a permanent reference point as they explore the massive open exhibition and its supporting spaces.

Case Studies Design Issues 1. Circulation Circulation in museums is the main factor affecting the exploration of the space by users and linking all the spaces together. Etihad Museum had made a great achievement by a new designing way for the circulation to achieve the main goal of connecting between the new pavilion – Etihad Museum- and the 2 Historical buildings –Union House & Guest House-. The New way was designing the Main floor plan underground with and interactive way of storytelling in a way to make the visitor be involved in the whole experience of the museum ending this by reaching the connections that will lead them to the historical buildings from beneath.

Case Studies Design Issues 2. Interaction Interaction helps in achieving the cooperation between individuals and groups such as open spaces, plazas, and interactive museum. In Etihad museum, the main goal was to narrate the story of the UAE unification in an interactive way. All the exhibition zones in the museum have an interactive way of telling the history of the country. Multimedia displays are spread out across the area to achieve an engaging historical and cultural hub with educational content. The most famous section is the Seven Founding Fathers’ Exhibition, which includes huge photos of each founder with and interactive screen under it telling the visitor historical information about each one and some special videos.

Case Studies Design Issues 3. Mood And Ambience It is the feeling and impression that a user gets when entering a space or a building with a unique atmosphere and can be achieved by different colours and sources of lighting. The plan of the museum was based on the lack of natural light within areas which would not benefit from its exposure like the Exhibition sections that depends mainly on displaying screens. On the contrary, there was spaces that needed natural lighting as library, classrooms, administrative spaces, praying room, and cafeteria, so this was solved by the integration of two sunken courts and four skylights that are directly connected with the plaza above the underground plan. The charm of the golden fresco can not be ignored, elegantly decorated with sentences from the constitution with a silver combination and is used in many spaces of the museum like the Main Entry Hall and in The Constitution hall.

Case Studies Design Issues 4. Comfort Psychological Comfort as the interactions and interrelationships between humans (individually and collectively) and their physical environment is suitable ( due to the appropriate ratio of natural lighting, the connection of the outdoor and the indoor, the light colours and the open spaces). The scale and human ratio is suitable to leave a strong impression with the visitors, without being too intimidating and this was achieved successfully in the Etihad Museum by respecting the human ratio and making a comfortable space meeting the building’s goal.

5. Image Recognizable for its unique form of paper, which symbolizes the Constitution's parchment book and the 7 rows of golden columns which refers to the pens in action of writing, the Building has reached its goal of being UAE’s cultural landmark and is one of a kind building with this design style.

• The floor area needed for a vertical filing system is 5.2 m2, and the aisle space should be 4.6 m2 (100:90). For flat filing systems, the floor area is 3.2 m2 and the aisle space 3.6m2 (90:100, ratio reversed). • The filing room should be centrally located, and the best window grid module is between 2.25m and 2.50m. Since a clear height of only 2.10m is required, three storeys of filing could be fined into a space which would only take two storeys in normal offices. • Narrow shelves with hanging files and a writing surface can provide a functional connection between workstations. 355 (644)

• Illumination should be between 300 and 500Lx, and glare from lights must be limited. • Matt surfaces in the room should have the recommended reflection factors (ceiling approx. 70%, walls approx. 50%, movable partitions approx. 20-50%). It is necessary to install blinds to control daylight at visual display workstations. • Follow local recommendations for environmental control and noise protection. The increased use of heat-generating electronic equipment in offices tends to result in the need for additional cooling to maintain a comfortable temperature. 2. MUSEUM AND ART GALLERIES • There are institutions such as heritage centers. Exploratorium and some cultural institutes which are types of museums. •
To show works of art and objects of cultural and scientific interest, the institution should provide protection against damage, theft, damp, aridity, sunlight and dust, and show the works in the best light (in both senses of the term). This is normally achieved by dividing the collection into (a) objects for study. and (b) objects for display.
• Exhibits should be displayed in a way which allows the public to view them without effort. reception filing research lecture theatre

• It is necessary to allow 3-5m2 hanging surface per picture, 6-10m2 ground surface per sculpture, and 1 m2 cabinet space per 400 coins. • Calculations for museum and art gallery lighting are highly theoretical; the quality of light is decisive. Recently there has been a steady increase in the use of artificial lighting instead of daylight, which constantly changes even if north light is used. • According to experiments carried out in Boston, a favorable viewing space is between 30° and 60° up, measured from a point in the middle of the floor.

• In art galleries there is generally no continuous circular route, just separate wings. Both museums and art galleries need side rooms for packing, dispatch, administration, a slide section, conservation workshops and lecture theatres. Disused castles, palaces and monasteries are usually suitable for housing museums. • Spaces must be available for permanent and temporary exhibitions, libraries, media rooms and lecture theatres. • There should also be places for relaxation and refreshments, as well as space for transport, storage, conservation, workshops and administration. • Technological innovations are having a big effect not only on museum function, but also on the design of exhibits. 3.

• Grid for structure and fittings: For adaptability of use, a reinforced concrete frame structure, pre-cast or poured in-situ, is preferable. The main structural grid is a multiple of the typical planning grid of 120 x 120cm (decimal system). A convenient structural grid for a large proportion of rooms without columns is: 7.20 7.20m, 7.20 x 8.40m, 8.40 x 8.40m. Storey height normally 4m, clear room height up to 3.0m.

• Space requirements (for examples shown): an average of 70-80 m2 per employee (without open storerooms) An extractor system is required in virtually all cases to tensest wood chippings , sawdust and wheel dust, both for the sake Of regulations on health and safety at work and on economic grounds. The arrangement of machines is determined according to the sequences of Operations. Rubber bonding to metal mountings can reduce high levels of machine nose. • In small companies with up to ten employees, general production flow can be in a line or L-shaped. In medium-sized companies with more than ten employees, a U-shaped or circular (or square) arrangement gives a better flow. In the latter case functions are combined: gate, load and unload, ramp, supervision, checking, goods in, dispatch. • Work sequence: timber store, cutting area, drying room, machine room, bench workshop, surface treatment, store, packing. Machine room and bench workshop is divided by a wall with doors. Office and foreman's room are glazed, with view of workshop. Workshop floor: wood, wood-block or composition flooring. All workstations should face the light. Continuous strip windows, high sills (1.00-1.35m). 2.

• Aisle widths in storage, preparation and production areas are different according to whether they are purely traffic routes, or if they also lead to service areas. Working aisle widths should be 0.90-1.20m, local traffic routes with (occasional) additional usage 1.50-1.80m and main traffic routes (transport and two-way through traffic) 2.10-3.30m. Aisle widths of 1.00-1.50m should be enough for small to medium-sized restaurant kitchen areas. • More than 100-200 meals or with more than 30 m2 of space available, In even larger kitchens, over 50m2, finishing groups can be arranged as double blocks. Storage space and working surfaces should be conveniently placed between the units at the end of blocks. 7

• About 10-15% of the kitchen area should be reserved for offices and staff rooms. Kitchen staff must be provided with changing rooms, a washroom and toilets. If more than ten staff are employed, rest and break rooms are required. Changing and social rooms should be close to the kitchen to avoid the staff having to cross unheated rooms or corridors (there is an increased risk of draughts in hot workplaces). More than 6m2 should be provided for the changing room, with four to six air changes per hour as well as visual screening. Provide a well-ventilated, lockable cupboard for each worker. In large kitchens there may be cupboards for street and working clothes. Other guideline values for toilet systems are 5-6m2 per WC seat and wash basin unit, and about 5.5m2 per wash basin and shower unit, for five or more male or female workers. • Large kitchens must be equipped with a mechanical ventilation system. Waste air must be extracted at each cooking point, with extraction pipes to the outside via a ducting system. Fresh air must be drawn in, i.e. recirculated air is not permitted. 6. PLAYGROUNDS • Requirements of play areas: traffic safety, no pollution, adequate sunshine, ground water level not too high. • Play areas should be focal points within residential areas and should be connected to residential and other areas by simple networks of paths. • Guidelines for planning playgrounds table:

• A basis for calculating the size of all public playgrounds can often be found in planning regulations. • For example, 5 m2 play area per housing unit, minimum size of playground 40 m2. Open spaces for play must be enclosed by a barrier at least 1 m high (dense hedge, fences, etc.) to protect them from roads, parked cars, railway lines, deep water, precipices and other sources of danger.

• The depth of water in harbors and marinas depends on the types of boats to be accommodated, dinghies and yachts require a depth of 1250 mm whereas fixed-keel boats need 4000-5000 mm. Constant water levels are obviously preferable for the safety of boats.

• The construction of breakwaters, sea defenses and landing stages, and the means of transport and storage for boats, have a fundamental influence on the type of use that can be made of the harbor or marina in different climatic conditions. • As protection from waves ,breakwaters (also called moles) also prevent the harbor from filling up with silt carried by the sea currents.

• Stone breakwaters are built from natural stone boulders, precast concrete units and sheet-pile walls which are commonly used. These are made from framed steel sections and have a life expectancy of 20-30 years. 2. HARBOR/MARINAS: • Harbor entrance position and breakwater design which protect interior of harbor from waves is determined by direction of prevailing wind and waves. • Entrances and exits must be at least equal in width to the length of the mooring spaces for the sailing boats, or one and a half times the maximum boat length thus the harbor should have a turning area, with a diameter of 3560m, behind the entrance.

8. CHANGING ROOMS AND LOCKERS • Changing rooms are amenities used by staff to change from outdoor clothing into work clothes and store their belongings. They should be between the entrance to the work and the working areas and be easily accessible. Changing rooms with a floor area of up to 30 m2 must have a clear height of at least 2.30 m2 and at least 2.50m if the floor area exceeds 30 m2. The basic floor area of a changing room should be at least 6m2. When changing rooms are not required provision should be made for hanging clothes and a locker provided for each employee. 50

• Proportions of the classical auditorium: Maximum distance of last row from the proscenium line (start of stage): for playhouse - 24m, for opera - 32m. •
Width of auditorium: spectators sitting to one side should be able to see the stage clearly. The comfortable proportions and often good acoustics of the classical theatres are based on special rules of proportion. A

• Example: 99 seats x 0.6 m2 needs a stage area of 60 m2 (2/3) + 30m2 (1/3) i.e. 90-100 m2. A room proportion of 1:1.6 is the best option for multiple use. • Elevation of seating is obtained from the lines of vision valid for all seats in the auditorium (stalls as well as circles) when spectators sit in 'gaps', only every second row requires full sight elevation (12cm).

• Complete vertical section through auditorium : The aim of determining proscenium height is to reflect sound from the stage or apron to be equally distributed throughout the auditorium, with ratio in a stall's theatre of proscenium height to width should be 1:6 as shown in the golden section then determining the apron height, the banking of the stalls and the volume of the auditorium; the lines of the ceiling are obtained from the acoustic requirements. In the case of circles, it should be ensured that the full depth of the stage can be seen, even from the upper seats. This might require an increase in proscenium height.

• The proportions of experimental auditorium: Neutral or open theatre auditoriums permit different arrangements of spectator seating and stage areas is achieved in two ways: (A) mobile staging and mobile spectator stands with a fixed auditorium floor: is technically more complicated and more expensive and used only in larger auditoriums for at least 150-450+ people. (B) movable floor consisting of lifting platforms is suitable for smaller theatres and unused rooms which normally have insufficient subspace. 2. STAGES: STAGE FORMS : There are three stage forms: • Full stage: stage area more than 100m2 .Stage ceiling more than 1 m above top of proscenium arch and an iron safety curtain which separates the stage from the auditorium in the event of an emergency. • Small stage: Area no more than 100m2, no stage extension (secondary stages), stage ceiling not more than 1 m above top of proscenium. Small stages do not require an iron safety curtain.

• Stage proportions : Principle design of traditional full stage are developed from the lines of vision from the auditorium. The stage area is the playing area plus walkways (around the back of the stage) and working areas. Mobile set areas are formed from height-adjustable platforms or lifting podia. Variable shapes are achieved by splitting the area into individual elements. Basic dimensions 1 m x 2m.

• Public areas: Self-contained emergency stairs, separate for each level. the foyers are subdivided with an area of foyer 0.8-2.0 m2/spectator and 0.60.8m2/spectator. Theatre performances must be considered during planning: room height, wall, ceiling and floor configuration. • Cloakrooms: Minimum: 4m per 100 visitors, often have lockers: 1 locker per 4 visitors. The foyer is also the waiting and queuing area. WCs are installed with respect to the foyer in the normal ratio (i.e. 1 WC/100 people: 1/3 men, 2/3 women): there must be at least one men's and one ladies' toilet. The entrance hall (lobby) contains the day and evening ticket offices. which should be opposite each other. • External access and emergency routes: depend on the location: - prestigious location in an urban square - location in a park or on a main street - as part of a large building. 194

• Avoid crossings and overlapping of routes for users, staff and book transport. Access to reading rooms can be through control gates equipped with book security equipment and, if possible, only one entrance and exit. For functional reasons, the control gates should be near the lending desk/central information desk. • Avoid direct sunlight, since UV and heat radiation destroy paper and bindings. Reinforced concrete and steel-frame buildings with a structural grid of >7.20m x 7.20m have been found to be suitable owing to the flexibility they allow in fining out. Room heights should be 3.00m. The area required for a simple reading/workplace is 2.5m2; for a PC or individual workplace is 4.0m2. 1.70

• The archive store is best situated in the basement because of the high floor loads and the more even climate. • Facilities inside the controlled area should include reading room information, bibliographies, on-line catalogue terminals, the issue and return of books which can only be used in the reading room, copying equipment (in separate rooms), open-access bookshelves, workspaces and, if necessary, the openaccess book stacks. • Facilities outside the controlled area should include cloakrooms or briefcase and coat lockers, toilets, a cafeteria, a newspaper reading area, an exhibition room, lecture and conference rooms (possibly for use outside library opening hours), an information desk (central enquiries), card and microfiche indexes, on-line catalogue terminals, book return and a collection area for ordered/reserved books. Building design should be based on climate, and internal environmental control should be based on the building. • Stacks should be kept at 17-22°C in summer and 17°C in winter, with 50-60% relative humidity and six to seven air changes per hour. •

• Shelf aisles should not be more than 3m long and can also be used to produce niches and exhibition stands. Book transport should be with book trolleys 920mm x 990 mm x 500mm (0x H x W). The goods elevator should be at the service entrance, and larger libraries should also have book conveyors. • Floor loadings in public libraries should not exceed 5.0kN/m2, in archive storage and similar open access areas with closely spaced stacks they should be 7.5 kN/m2 maximum, and with compact storage (mobile shelving) 12.5 or 15.0 kN/m2. 12. TOILETS • Toilets should be approximately 100m from each workstation; 75m in the case of work at conveyor belts. In large companies it is useful to divide them into smaller units (e.g. on each floor next to the stairs on the landing). A lobby is not required if there is only one WC per toilet facility. If ventilation is through windows on one side only, an area of 1700cm2 is required, or possibly 1000cm2 if space is restricted. Area served ≤ 100m WCs

SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability 8.1. Sustainability in General: There was so many arguments about the definition of sustainability through time. In 1987, a report was released called “Our Common Future” by the prime of the UN, he defined that sustainable development is: “Development that meets the needs of the current generation without consuming the ability of the next generations to meet their own needs.” (Emas, 2015).
8.1.1. Sustainability in Architecture: In 2017 the Build Abroad stat that the philosophy of sustainable architecture is: ensuring that the current actions and effects of buildings do not have any negative value or result in the future generations by using design methods, materials, energy, and development spaces that should be presented and complied with the principles of social, economic and ecological sustainability.

Sustainability 8.2. Social Sustainability: Society's ability to improve methods and structures that not only achieve the needs of its current generation, but also supports and take part in saving and maintaining the ability of future generations to have a healthy community. • Social sustainability always have combination between physical realistic design and social design that obtain the citizen engagement, social enjoyment and open space for citizen (Woodcraft et al., 2012). • In 2011, a report of how to design a social sustainability stated that “ designing framework, creating effective societies. (Woodcraft et al., 2012). • As shown in (fig.8.2.1.) he four main elements that were discovered in the previous report integrate to lead to a social sustainability by using new buildings and effective communities.
Amenities & Social infrastructure support services in place early in life of now community – emphasis on social spaces & community workers Social & Cultural Life Shared spaces, collective activities and social architecture to foster local networks, belonging and community identity Connection to local and regional economy
Voice & Influence Governance structures to represent future residents and engage new ones in shaping decision-making
Green building, environmental innovation, incentives for proenvironmental behavior
Space to grow Flexible planning; housing, infrastructure and services that can adapt overtime; meanwhile use of public buildings and space

Sustainability 8.2.2. Social Sustainability Approach in Our Project: Creating a utilize spaces, zones, and designs along with a considerable cultural facilities, will lead to an interaction places, these places could be located in small vacant lands or spaces in buildings, all this will help in achieving social sustainability. The main approaches will be: • Creating Buffering zones: By the analysis and the observation of Rosetta’s city data we concluded that the people don't have any buffering zones. The proposed project will provide this buffering zones for the people of Rosetta enhancing the productivity and the quality of the products. • Inclusive environment: An inclusive setting is one in which members feel respected and connected. Both members help to shape the group's goals and accomplish the group's objectives. The project aims to create an inclusive environment for the people of Rosetta. • Provide employment: For the local people to participate in the workshop and bazars that will be provided in project that will help in saving the heritage and increasing awareness. • Sustainable consumption: Develop and implement mechanisms to track the impacts of sustainable tourism on sustainable development which create jobs and promote local culture and products. So this will be indicated in number of sustainable tourism policies and plans with agreed monitoring and assessment instruments.

Sustainability 8.3. Environmental Sustainability: Environmental sustainability can have a clear indefinitely by saving the rate of renewable resource harvest, pollution creation, and nonrenewable resource consumption so the environmental sustainability will become strong. • Making sure that consuming the natural resources with a reasonable rate, will help in reaching a sustainable environment and ensure current and next generation have what they need, these resources may be energy fuels, soil, water, wind, …etc. • The general sustainability should not be conflict with balance of economic and social.
8.3.1. Environmental Sustainability in Architecture: There is always an integration between the buildings and surrounding environment, through the past time it was always negative effect. So that in nowadays, the architecture act as a guide to reduce these negative effects from materials, energy, development of spaces, and save use of eco-system. • Socially sustainable architecture is achieved by ensuring the comfortable, healthy, safe, and secure environment with easy accessibility that carried out users needs.

Sustainability 8.3.2. Environmental Sustainability Approach in Our Project: The idea of sustainable environmental conditions is to make the buildings and surrounding environment look as good and integrated as we can for the comfort, health, performance of current and future generations. According to a definition, human activities can only be carried out or maintained indefinitely with environmental sustainability, without any damaging effect on natural resources or nature. The main approaches will be: • Green Roofing: Implementation of green roofs to the buildings improve the project’s environmental envelope, and to sustain better climate condition for the occupants of the buildings. • Vernacular Techniques: Use the vernacular architecture techniques to maintain indoor quality, help n reducing the effect of high temperature inside the buildings specially in hot arid climate countries like Rosetta. In addition to that not negatively affected surroundings, all this is achieved by using for example CEB blocks, or Rammed Earth. • Affordable & Clean Energy: Indicated Energy efficiency investment as a share of GDP and foreign Direct Investments as a financial transfer to sustainable development services for infrastructure and technology, by using solar panels, and green roofs.

Sustainability 8.4. Economic Sustainability: In general economic sustainability means the ability in maintaining a high rate of economic product without any limitations. In addition to that have zero impact on the community in its cultural, social, and environment aspects. â&#x20AC;˘ Sustainable economy also mean that community is in a stable balance of consuming the natural and non-natural resource without any negative impact on current and next generations. â&#x20AC;˘ Another way to achieve economic sustainability is to take in mind the regional factors, social needs, and environmental values.
8.4.1. Economic Sustainability in Architecture: The intervention of architecture in the economy has made it so much efficient in several way such as, low in price, and low construction cost, as well as, it inclusive all the needs of development and growth, so that it become environmentally sound. In addition to that it reduce the poverty line by building shared profitability for the population along with the consideration of future needs.

The Bullitt Centre: • The world's greenest corporate building. It
used around 32 kWh per sq, located in the district of Seattle's Capitol Hill. In its first full operational year, meter. Even among the greenest buildings in the world, the Bullitt Centre produces more electricity from solar rooftops than it consumes in the kilowatt-heures a year.
Fig.8.4.3.2. Concept of social sustainability, Data source (Hall Pete, 2011), illustrated by (Authors, 2019).
• The Bullitt Center has been planned for a
life span of 250 years. The Bullitt Center generated almost 30 times more power from the solar panels on its roof in 2016 than it used for all needs. This makes it one of the world's largest "net positive" energy structures.
• The energy generated on the roof of the
building consists of a large range of Solar Panels (composed of 575 panels) and energy retention measures, which cut the energy consumption of the building to about 15 percent of a typical office building of similar size. • Although it is linked to the electricity grid and sometimes absorbs more power than it consumes (particularly in rainy winters in Seattle), it also creates adequate excess energy to offset such losses, resulting in a positive annual net energy.

Ahmad Gamal 9.1.2 concept II Statement: Rosetta city is a city fall of green areas. Farming is most common craft in this city. Spicily palm trees. The city is known for “ the city of the million palm trees”. So planting palm trees is something unique about this city. Therefore this concept is impaired from this craft; farming. To try to connect between the project and the city with something that users can feel and see.
Fig 9.1.2.1 Rosetta city’s farms. (Authors, 2019)
Inspiration: One of Rosetta city names is “the city of million palm trees”. This is known for Palm planting. Agriculture is the main craft in Rosetta city. More than a half of the population is working in the agriculture. There for this concept was inspired from shape of the palm leaf. And hwo this shape can influence in designing the project’s plan.

Fig 9.1.2.4 green wall, data source (nbs.net,2020).
â&#x20AC;˘ One of the sustainable solution is using the local materials in the building process. One of the local materials in Rosetta city is the Palms. When the palm get old the citizens cut it and use it in a deferent ways. Some People use it to build a small houses. This material can be used in this project too. Designing a shading devices made of palm leafs and palm trunk. Helping to shade the project and recycle the waste.

Ahmad Gamal 9.1.3 concept III Technological Studies: • Using of the Pavegen tiles in the walkways and inside the spaces such as: the museum .The Pavegen technology is a multifunctional custom flooring system. Pavegen’s tiles are electro-magnetic. As people step on the tiles, their weight causes electric-magnetic induction generators to vertically displace, which results in a rotatory motion that generates off-grid electricity. Additionally, each tile is equipped with a wireless API that transmits real-time movement data analytics, whilst directly producing power when and where it is needed. Pavegen is also able to connect to a range of mobile devices and building management systems

â&#x20AC;˘
The concept inspired from historical background of Rosetta, where the story of the discovery of hieroglyphic from Rosetta stone opened knowledge of pharaonic heritage, The buildings pentagon shape were inspired from the 5 points of the Rosetta stone that is split in half and linked with ramp bridges to resemble an open book of hieroglyphics knowledge, where each activity housed in a specific building.To honour the heritage of Rosetta , the stones writings were added to the design in the buildings ceiling and reflected on ground due to sunlight for people to observe while walking. By Using complex main design issues circulation, also inspired from history of Rosetta, where the path of circulation represent the duration of era and size will vary due to this duration, the longest era the tallest, and the openness and closeness due to dark and enlighten of eras. This will make people feel the Rosetta history durations while walking. Illustration:

Individual Work 9.3. Alshaimaa Osama Ahmed: â&#x20AC;&#x153; Culture itself is neither education nor law-making: It is Atmosphere and a Heritageâ&#x20AC;? - H.L. Menken Mission Rosetta is one of the cities that have a lots of monument, these historical monument reflected the islamic heritage in cultural, social, and natural resources. So that Rosetta is called the second islamic city. The potential of all these features make very strong focal point to the site of Rosetta on the scale of worldwide. But after all the neglected through the time pass these heritage (cultural, social, natural) began to disappear and these monument became deteriorated, which become the major issue in Rosetta. Wherefore, the project aim to revive the heritage of Rosetta and focus on community needs and raise the awareness of the locals. Along with this it should respect and consider the surrounding environment: through the architectural design to be in harmony and achieve sustainability goals with adding modern technologies. As well as creating a touristic destination in Rosetta to encourage tourism by applying interactive spaces, and marketing to integrate the traditional aspects.
Objectives
Fig.9.3.1. Collage show all sides of Rosetta, by (Authors, 2019).
Revive deterioration of heritage monuments in Rosetta. Create a touristic destination to attract and increase tourism. Development of community and increase awareness. Creating an integrated design that reflect identity & culture of Rosetta. Adding sustainability techniques to ensure preservation of environment and building. 235
Alshaimaa Osama 9.3.1. Journey to Rosetta:: Statement: • Main circulation will act as story teller to define Rosetta and its strategic location, so the main idea came from the second urban pattern “Irregular”, which located in a very dense area at the city center. the shape of the land lot help to form the project masses.as well as, connection of main spaces of the project will ensure visual continuity and provide flexibility, journey, and experience. It will be provided with stairs and ramps to leveling that will be interactive. So that, the target groups and the requirement needs will be defined and achieved the project well.
Fig.9.3.1.2. Show Green Zones, by (Authors, 2019).
Each mass represent a certain era and has a different ways in interactive the first way is through the circulation in main and sub axes, and the second is sharing and interactive spaces inside masses. Also in each level of the building project main circulation will has the ability to be accessible to green roofs and some main functions as shown in section and 3Ds.

â&#x20AC;˘ Green Roof System: Cause the main objective of our project is to revive the heritage, which include the agriculture, so that the green roof is used. Two main reasons of using it first, the roof gardens must lower the building's temperature. Second, it will be used as a buffering zones to share experiences either with locals or tourists. Therefore, in order to protect the building from the effects of the roof gardens, it should have multiple layers.

Alshaimaa Osama 9.3.3. Urban Pattern : Statement: Rosetta has passed through many different islamic eras, by taking its characteristics and adding it to the plan, the “form” will appear. Also taking in consideration urban pattern of the center city is “Orthogonal pattern” by adding it to site, and creating solid area that inspired from context form of the city. The first map intent to show the urban pattern of Rosetta:
Orthogonal Pattern
Stage 1: Choosing the orthogonal pattern from the urban pattern of Rosetta as it looks like straight line but it is not. The areas will be divided so it can be in well orientation by ensuring function of the spaces after that adding it in the site. Stage 2: Then adding the lines of this urban pattern on the site to start creating solid and void that will lead to certain open spaces and enclose spaces. Stage 3: After the insurance of solid and void the next stage will be adding the circulation to the site between spaces and courts by using the correct circulation the entrances and exits will be identified . Stage 4: The reflection of the islamic characteristics that will represent the islamic eras is “COURT & OPEN SPACES” these characteristics will act as buffering zones that will be a way of interactive between tourists and locals , also will increase awareness of heritage in community and attract tourists.

Individual Work 9.4 Ashraqat Khaled: “ As an architect you design for the Present with an awareness of the Past for a Future which is essentially unknown ” - Norman Foster
Mission Egypt has always been a major icon in the middle east and the whole world known for its historical background, events and monuments. As the definition of heritage and culture can varies from a topic to another, people with no heritage background are as similar as a tree with no roots. However, when it comes to architecture the power and the function of the building speaks silently defining the story needed to be observed. Consequently, reflecting the identity of the place on the building in order to visualize its heritage. Rosetta, the second city after Cairo to retain Islamic monuments has witnessed significant era’s that added to its cultural and historical value throughout the ages. However, nowadays all these historical monuments are neglected and needs to be preserved again. Therefore, reviving its culture. Leading to different aspects that need to be achieved thus, to be able to follow the sequent of this process both the community and touristic have to be involved in one project. Rosetta Heritage Complex, a place that gather among heritage culture and knowledge about Rosetta’s historical background. This project will act as a catalyst not only in Rosetta but also in Egypt and the Middle East as it will target touristic groups from different ages to enhance the people’s knowledge on Rosetta, as it turned out to be a rich city full of stories, events, monuments and traditions that differ uniquely from any other city. Objectives • By having a heritage complex in Rosetta as a main catalyst in the city, touristic approach will be the main direct objective needed to be achieved as the project will be full of galleries, activities, narrative story telling space, sunken monuments center and bazars that will target huge number of visitors. • Aiming to enhance indirectly both the labor workforce and economy in Rosetta as people participating in this project will have the opportunity to enhance their knowledge on the city they live in, create handmade crafts from what they are known for “ palm trees’’ for the bazars and preserve their own traditions. • Raising the city’s economy as being part of a sustainable process where a catalyst will attract tourism leading to economy enhancement that will later on affect the city positively where more enhancement could be achieved. • Reviving and preserving Rosetta’s neglected historical Islamic buildings in a resilient way in order not to be forgotten again to gain back its true cultural identity.

9.5 AYA ISMAIEL GHOBASHI
Individual Work 9.5 Aya Ismaiel Ghobashi: “ A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” - Marcus Garvey Mission The target and mission is to save Rosetta’s Heritage and try to make it closer to being an international touristic city with its existing potentials in cultural, historical and social resources, as it already has a distinctive background but lacks good use of it. So the main aim is to revive the heritage in Rosetta through designing a project that will leave the visitors with full experience of the significance of this city throughout the ages. Also raising awareness of the heritage resources and its significance for the resident.
Fig. 9.5.1
Objectives Reassure the strengths of Rosetta and try to make it a focal point in Egypt. Document, preserve and ensure the continuity of Rosetta’s heritage. Leaving the visitors with a whole experience of Rosetta. Raising awareness about the importance of the history of the city and how to preserve it. Helping the economy by bringing in local products in the projects’ bazars. Involving the local residents in giving workshops on the local crafts. Social interaction between the residents and different cultures. Make an adaptive building with the environment that has responsive design. 253
Aya Ismaiel Ghobashi 9.5.1 The “Barzakh" Statement: The Concept is inspired from the “Barzakh" which is an Arabic word mentioned in Quran which means the adjacency of sea water and fresh water without their waters being mixed. Which is the same phenomenon in Rosetta at the tip as the nile meets the mediterranean sea.
Fig. 9.5.1.2: Section showing the massing (Authors, 2019)
Fig. 9.5.1.1 Barzakh (google.com, 2019)
Fig. 9.5.1.3: Conceptual Plan (Authors, 2019)
This will be represented in the project with a main axe/functional wall separating between the masses of the project as one side will have dense, compacted forms representing sea water molecules and then the masses will start to expand fading into the nile, framing it along the way representing the fresh water molecules being less dense.
Fig. 9.5.1.4: (Authors, 2019)
Fig. 9.5.1.5: Difference in water molecules (Authors, 2019)
The main idea of this concept is to translate the concept of the “barzakh" both metaphorically and literally having two different sides of the project but at the same time similar in content and use -like salted water and fresh water, both are water but slightly differ. Also, there’s a perk of the site location as it is on the nile shore and we can make use of that picturesque view and use it in the design by framing it through the masses and landscape elements.

By abstracting the shape of the ship and reaching some architectural elements, we create a couple of forms that may have a sloped terrace representing the deck and the tower will act as an observation tower or a vertical museum. The building will give the sense of something coming out of the water, creating visual connectivity with the sea.

And as the people step on the1surface the generators below the tiles sense the weight and start to rotate, generating1power by electro-magnetic induction. The generators then produce about 3 joules1per1footstep or about 5 watts of continuous power while there is someone walking. The energy1produced can1be either stored in batteries or used to power local1applications like sensors or lighting.

Maram Ahmed Enany 9.7.1 Reclaiming the city: Statement: This concept is based on the prioritizing the city, and using it as the main inspiration for the design. Inspired by Rosettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban fabric, the Ottoman facades, Rosettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skyline, and urban height pattern, creating height hierarchy from the center of the project to its sides, maintaining the visual axis to the city and the view. By analyzing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban factors, it is found that the urban fabric is condensed, with an irregular grid dominating the city, getting more condensed towards the Nile. The urban height pattern analysis shows that the majority of the buildings on the Nile coast are short, with the taller and larger buildings behind them, creating a visual axis and height hierarchy.

Hyper Curved Shell Structure A hyper is a two way curved surface, that can be constructed as a shell or a twisted lattice. Usually, the edges of a hyperbolic surface are covered by steep hollow beams that accumulate and pass roof weights to the foundation. The structure strength comes from the hyperbolic shape which distributes the load to the footing, no need for columns. It is also resistant to earth quakes and fires. The actual structure consists of triangular wooden modules that can be quickly assembled on site; all these components are created by a CNC milling machine. Without the need for special locator equipment and highly skilled operators, the complex shell geometry could be designed quickly and precisely. A series of hyper-curved shells can be easily created using a flat structural feature. Typically they are used to build thin â&#x20AC;&#x153;shell" roofs. It can then be formed using covered wood or steel sections or using concrete. The use of hyper curved shells as a thin structure is light and efficient. The form is used to minimize materials. The curvature in the shape reduces its compressive tendency to buckle and can achieve exceptional rigidity. They experience no bending by being forced in two directions and are able to withstand unequal loading, whether dead or live.

Individual Work 9.8 Marwa Alaswadi: “ The Heritage of the Past is the Seed that brings forth the Harvest of the Future”” - Wendell Phillips. Mission Seeking to help in retrieving the touristic value of Rosetta city, as it is rich of Heritage and has a considerable history, that had been degraded due to the negligence and misuse. This mission will be done through creating a project that will work as a catalyst to attract international and national tourists and will help in making Rosetta a touristic destination once again. Moreover, the three concepts ensure the edification of users about the heritage of Rosetta city by having them experience a joyful journey by the means of storytelling of the city's history, starting from its earliest eras, represented in the sunken monuments and the lost undersea city, reaching the modern eras.
Fig. 9.8.1 Collage showing some of Rosetta’s Heritage, (Authors, 2019).
Objectives Rosetta’s Heritage Complex aims to: Enhance the visibility of the city as a touristic destination.
Increase awareness locally and Globally about Rosetta’s historical value. Ensure social interaction and communication through interactive spaces, galleries and museum. Provide the users with knowledge concerning Rosetta’s heritage and the sunken monuments via storytelling, integrating Past and Future. Engagement of community in the process -workshops and other activities- to raise their sense of belonging. The touristic activities of the project will provide job opportunities for the locals, especially the skilled ones, hence raising their income. 278
Marwa Alaswadi 9.8.1 Rosetta between Past & Future: Statement Rosetta city has experienced and passed through a lot of historical eras as was mentioned previously in the historical timeline, each era has influenced the city in some way, leaving its marks on the city’s heritage, architectural style, monuments,..etc. The idea is to take the users in an experience to get to know all the historical events that rosetta has gone through, this will be done by the hierarchy of masses serving the storytelling concept. The further down you go, the further back in time and the deeper your knowledge. Figure (9.8.3.1) shows the sequence of the exhibiting masses starting from the modern eras back to the sunken monuments undersea “Diving Center”.
Fig. 9.8.1.1 Hierarchy of masses, (Author, 2019).
Since our selected site is overlooking the Nile, the main axis will help in respecting the view. The main axis will be a sweeping staircase visually connecting Nile view with the accessible roofs of the masses, in order to increase the interactive spaces and get benefit of the whole built up area.

Marwa Alaswadi 9.8.1 Rosetta between Past & Future: Technological Studies Interactive Facades: Interactive materials will help reflecting the concept of the interaction and the on the exterior of the building. Translucent facades will be used to maximize and control the natural light that enters the building. It will also emphasize the idea of continuity and the image of the building, specially at night time, since the interior lights will be transferred to the outside through the translucent facades. This will be achieved by using Light glazing panels that will help to protect the exterior facade from weather, humidity, erosion,..etc. These panels are made of Polycarbonate microcells of which a certain colour and brightness can be chosen (Archdaily, 2019). These help in preventing the harmful UV rays from entering to the inside, reduce energy by reducing thermal conduction and using natural light to illuminate and heat the Fig. 9.8.1.11 A building with translucent panels at night, interiors of the buildings. Other advantages (archdaily.com, 2019), illustrated by (Authors,2019) of these materials are: I. Air and Water Tightness: They provide perfect balance between solar and thermal dynamics, this is due to the snap-lock connections of the glazing panels. The connections do not allow the water and air to penetrate into the building. II. Durability: They withstand the effect of unwanted elements.

Marwa Alaswadi 9.8.2 The Twist: Statement Conveyancing the users from one historical era to another, to have them living the experience as if it was real, and as if they were contemporary to this era of Rosetta city's history. To achieve so, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twisted Transitional Zonesâ&#x20AC;? are made to transfer users between the different eras and spaces. These zones will help the users to travel through time. Interior design will help emphazising the concept by using architectural features of each era in its exhibiting space, to inline with the spirit of its history. Further, landscape elements will have the same idea of twisted zones in the exterior exhibition spaces. The Simple twists done between the main masses will help lifting the users from the lower to the upper masses achieving their hierarchy towards Nile view. The torsions between masses create passageways underneath to ensure public activity continues in outdoor areas. Spatial fluidity will be studied carefully to ensure that the visit inside is dynamic as the outer shape indicates

Marwa Alaswadi 9.8.3 In Pursuit of Interaction: Statement Since the selected site is directly overlooking the Nile River, the view is respected along with the prevailing wind direction. There will be two main axes, the first is inspired from the flow of people heading from the main street aligning the Nile River, forming the main entrances and exits, serving the view visuality, and it's on which the main masses will be distributed. While the second axis, is inspired from the wind direction, to maximize the penetration of wind within the masses of the project. The intersection of these two main axes will form the central plaza around which the masses are gathered. To maximize the Visual and Social Interaction among the users the roofs of the masses are sloped towards the plaza, leading to the Accessible Roofs maximizing the site are and the no. of users in addition to providing more Fig.9.8.3.1 Sketches showing the main interactive spaces.

9.9 MOHAMED ALAA SAMI
Individual Work Mohamed Alaa Sami â&#x20AC;&#x153;To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate itâ&#x20AC;? - Daniel Libeskind
Mission The main mission of the following concepts is to merge the contemporary Rosetta and to resurrect the old Rosetta, by using the iconic symbology the ancient Egypt had in their methodology. the pharaonic era was very rich in their cultural heritage and the very unique shapes and forms , that had a great meanings. this concept proposals aiming to reuse these things in our daily life .
Objectives These proposals going to be achieved by taking the concepts from the heart of the pharaonic methodology specifically the sympology part. -
Making the complex distinctive from the surrounding area. Using the features of the pharaonic architecture while integrating with the contemporary architecture. Making the building sustainable and efficient for the users. Providing new user experience different from the ordinary museums in egypt. providing a handicap friendly museum
287
Mohamed Alaa Seba: Statement: The second concept will be Seba which is the stars were called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the followers of Osirisâ&#x20AC;?. The pattern of the stars will cover the building like the goddess of night.to prevent the direct sun rays from entering the building causing high heat gain and over exposure distracting the users from the shown heritage , this method will provide illumination without direct sunlight , and mimic the sun rays passing through the palm trees in the famous one million palm tree heritage complex. the figure of seba itself will be used with different positioning and transparency to form the shell to achieve the goals previously mentioned.
Inspiration:
288
Mohamed Alaa Seba: Technological Studies: â&#x20AC;˘ The main idea here is to make use of the sun light to enhance the sustainability of the project minimizing the use of artificial lighting , blending with the place itself in everything mimicking the sun rays passing through the mesh of the stars â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sebaâ&#x20AC;? like the sun in the palm trees field giving an authentic and environmental perspective to the project. reusing the idea that was used in the Egyptian temples with the forests of the columns and the effect of the illumination of the clear story windows this was made in most of the temples to mimic mother nature itself . This will be achieved by making a structure of steel to maintain the weight of the shell itself the fabricate the shell with the intersections and the variety in transparency of it to fix it on the steel chase.
289
Mohamed Alaa Precious secret : Statement: The pharaonic civilization throughout the history always believed that they have a secret to their greatness they represented it in all form of art and even they had a thing called beit al hayah which they made to prepare the knights to carry on protecting the secret. the idea of this concept is to blend with the surrounding context to represent that this complex reflects the true identity and the heritage of the city and the people of the city itself, to mimic the idea of the sacred secret of the pharaonic civilization in a building that will absolutely blend in with the surrounding environment to hide this secret using reflective facades.
Inspiration:
290
Mohamed Alaa Precious secret : Technological Studies: â&#x20AC;˘ The main idea of mimicking the preciousness of the preservation of the sacred secret explained in the concept statement can all be used to create a more efficient and sustainable project by making all the wall double walls outside is mirror to reflect the heat and also help the building to blend in the surrounding environment stating that its from the people and represents the people â&#x20AC;&#x153; the heritage is not only artifacts or monuments its part of each and every one of usâ&#x20AC;? and making the circulation of air to cool down the building envelope all the time, also for the electricity we can install in the gap between the double walls the anti solar panels which is panels works just like the idea of the regular ons where it uses the heat difference between the sun rays and the earth to generate electricity the darkness panels generates the power with the same concept but inverted it produce the electricity from the heat difference of the cool environment of the air circulation gab and the facade it self to help reducing the building energy consumption. also the broken panels on the facade will be used where it faces the city itself to distort the heat and reduce the heat gain increasing caused by the mirrored facades .
291
Mohamed Alaa Scarab: Statement:
This concept we will use the great symbol scarab which represents the sun, recreation of life it self and the resurrection of the great Legends of the distance past are talking from their graves to give us their wisdom and great transformation in the current statues , the main idea of the building is to show these ideas to the users of the heritage complex.
Inspiration:
292
Mohamed Alaa Scarab: Technological Studies: â&#x20AC;˘ The main technologies used in this concept is the double facadeing system where the first layer from outside to inside is an eco friendly shell made of the compression applied to the waste to remake a module that will format the shell itself with repetition of it just like the modular origami. and the inside layer of the facade will be covered in a pattern and the layered glass shown in the figure to maintain the sunlight to be diffused to minimize the heat gain of the building , reducing waste and energy consumption.

9.10 MONA HASSAN SAKR
Individual Work 9.10 Mona Hassan Sakr: “Our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our nation” Nelson Mandela Mission The Heritage of the city is the only way to identify and recognize the importance of the Historical artifacts and monuments that should be maintained as long as it can be for the upcoming generations to have the chance to know and see what they missed before. The construction of a building that reflects the history of the city is aiming to empower the visitors to link themselves and their feelings to the past by offering historical Interactive displays and activities that will make it easier for all people to understand and be involved in their present and future through their past. Rosetta Heritage complex's mission is to bring the public into a dynamic interaction with the building that focus on the different historical eras of Rosetta, preservation labs, learning zones, interactive zones, diving center for the journey to the Sunken monuments in Edku and research zones reflecting the long gone history of Rosetta city.
Fig.9.10.1 Collage showing Heritage of Rosetta, (Authors, 2019)
Objectives Cultural Approach: Ensure raising awareness among people of Rosetta about the importance of the city’s Heritage. Touristic Approach: Work on encouraging tourism in the city through different interactive ways to bring the city back to life. Reaching the Sunken Monuments by having a diving center to offer the opportunity of seeing the forgotten underwater city. Interactive Communication between the users through the Museum’s zones Narrative section for achieving the main goal of the story-telling to be involved in the whole experience. 295
Mona Hassan Sakr 9.10.1 City Under The Roof: Statement: Can you imagine how exciting it is to discover a historical Egyptian Drowned town that was 1200 years forgotten under the sea, and find out that many of its treasures have been in a very good condition after so many decades. This city is between Rosetta and Edku and was discovered by the French archaeologist Franck Goddio in 2000 and the work took 13 years to reach this discovery.
Fig.9.10.1.1 A Stele with hundred nighty meter height was discovered in the historical drown city in Edku , (franckgoddio.org, 2013)
So, the idea was inspired from this drowned historical city between Edku and Rosetta -Thonis Heracleion- forming all the main buildings to be scattered but unified under one structural shell to act like a small city gathered under the same roof. The shell will act as the surface of the sea and the shattered buildings under it will be the artifacts that was found under the water. The concept of being scattered is to give the feeling of the city with streets connecting the buildings with each other but all under one surfaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;The Shell. Concept Development

Mona Hassan Sakr 9.10.1 City Under The Roof: Technological Studies Ultra High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete Over recent decades, there has been a significant increase in developing compression strength, ductility enhancement, and improve the workability in the composition of the concrete. This resulted in the improvement of regular concrete to the High performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete. Ultra High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete mainly consists of cement, water, fine aggregates, super elastic plasticizer, and metallic or polymer fibers. Such components contribute to form a concrete that is more efficient, with high bearing capacity, more durable and more resilient compared to standard concrete. The addition of fibers increases the tensile strength considerably, which results in high deformation level (above 1%) with new age-plastic process and improvement in tensile ability (multi-cracking) leading to the ability of making irregular shapes and shells with high level of complexity. It is used mainly in prefabricated components as to decrease the percentage of any errors. This will be the main material to be used in this concept to construct the shell that will cover the whole project-The City Under the Roof.

Mona Hassan Sakr 9.10.2 Spicing up The Ruins: Statement: It is the way of generating a simple and effective design by blending the sense of local material and traditions of the city to produce the feeling of being in old town of Rosetta. Rosetta city is famous for palm trees vegetation as its called The City Of The Million Palm Trees. But once the palm tree reaches a certain age it stops to produce dates and starts being useless. In this concept, I’ll use palm trees as the main structure system besides the Karshif as the main building’s material. The main circulation will be inspired from the old town’s streets and defined by palm trees.

The axis inside the building is identified by different massing or colouring. Audio and graphics are used to tell the story of the era of the building, surrounded by artifacts from the time being told. Each building will be designed as a scene from the era being told. The interiors will be entirely made of wire mesh so it feels like a figment of our own imagination of the time. Artifacts and historical findings will be displayed on wireframe stands to conclude the story with real-life proofs.
