THERE SEEMS TO BE A MISSING LINK… LEADING TO A BACKWARD CYCLE…
INTRODUCING A NEW TYPOLOGY OF RECONCILIATION….
THEN I RESEARCHED THE JUVENILES RIGHTS IN AND HOW THEY ARE REHABILATED….
THEN I RESEARCHED THE JUVENILES RIGHTS IN AND HOW THEY ARE REHABILATED….
I WENT BACK TO HERITAGE FOR INSPIRATION….BOTH CONCEPTUAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL
PRECEDENCE
I was also inspired by the elevations of Hassan Fathy, how he uses just a floor or 2 but delivers a strong architectural language through them, an other modern Islamic architecture examples.
FORM GENERATION
EL-REFAI MOSQUE SULTAN HASAN MOSQUE
CITADEL
The building form is responding to the surrounding heritage context (monuments) by being2 storeys above ground to allow their visibility in the skyline. It also has a courtyard in front of the Mostafa Kamel meuseum divided by a Mashrabeya, and open green platform facing El aSultan Hassan and El Refaie mosques. The courthouse is the highest point in the project and is placed next to the citadel as a response to it being the highest point in the site (and probably Cairo) and responding to its connotative meanings of fighting evil and protection. The building form is responding to the community by having its main spine in alignment with the 2 main streets around.
MOSTAFA KAMEL MEUSEUM
The building mass is penetrated with many open spaces to allow for ventilation coming from the North/Northwest direction. Also the courtyards allow for self shade throughout most of the day (The shadow presented here is at 1 pm summer solictice.) The green platform at the tip of the site is a green island avoids being a heat island, and brings in ventilation to the rest of the building, and higher oxygen levels which is healthier for the juvenile. Finally, all entrances are ADA friendly with ramps (except the judges entrance due to lack of space but there is a nearby ramp for the public if needed)
Outdoor Circulation Enhancing Integration This diagram shows the outdoor circulation of my project. On the ground level. The interconnectedness of the whole project, both on the x and y directions, is Intended for a more welcoming, public, integrating and wholesome experience for the children and their community.
It also gives a chance of good light and ventilation to all spaces.
Figure Ground
Mini Reflection: This picture is from 3 months ago‌I’m actually quite surprised at how my project ended up looking like the Lego trials I was playing around with at the beginning of the semester! Makes me feel accomplished that my product is close to my initial vision.
