PROJECT STATEMENT & CONTEXT: The tower of SEDRA acts the necessary seed that will adverse the shortcomings of desertification. The term SEDRA is the Arabic name of the Ziziphus spina-christi, which is a native tree to northern and tropical Africa. Its potency to survive in harsh environments is what inspired this project. The tower is situated in Lake Karun in the city of Fayoum, Egypt. Lake Karun is located in Wadi El Hitan or Valley of Whales. This Site represents an excellent example to place this tower because of the rare wildlife that this area hosts and the migratory birds that come its way.
The aim of SEDRA is to act as a prototype of a “Vertical oasis”. The archetype of an oasis in itself is part of Africa’s desert ecology. It’s symbol of abundance in a vast and empty space. Like an Oasis, SEDRA’s role as a “Vertical Oasis” would be that of an asylum that houses endangered wildlife ,rehabilitates its environment, and provides sustenance for man to live on.
Desertification is especially problematic for African countries, since they are economically fragile. This is the underlying problem behind why we incorporated flora and fauna elements into our project.
This incorporation is done to apply real value to its context by introducing environmental tourism and bridging the gap between man and nature. With the projects replication across Africa, it would provide a network of stops for migratory birds as well and protect them from extinction.
TOWER COMPONENTS BIRD SANCTUARY The concept behind the bird sanctuary was inspired by local Egyptian practice of raising pigeons. Local residents would build tall pigeon houses that would eventually become homes to these animals. Even though wild birds might not be domesticated, the idea of constructing a home for birds to find shelter in is an indirect method of attracting migrating birds. This provides a humane way to keep track of these animals and enrich the tower’s biodiversity.
Water Wheel The design of this water-wheel’s functionality is inspired by local fauna. It’s paddles mimics the functionality of webbed feet found in bird-life, which gives the wheel added functionality of being more hydrodynamic and energy efficient. The function EL SAQIYA is to provide a steady supply of water to the “Vertical Park”, the hydroponic farms, and the bird sanctuary.
MOSS ARCH To power this building, a new system of bio-photovoltaic called Moss voltaic will be placed on the walls of SEDRA’s arches. Moss was selected because of how its commonly found on building walls and between cracks on pavements. This system uses the natural process of photosynthesis to generate electrical energy. The electrical circuitry runs through the building to the ground to be conserved
MOSS DRONE This drone was biomimetic-ally engineered to perform like local fauna. Its design and shape follows the aesthetic of local birds. Each drone has a fixed tank filled with Moss mixture that will be sprayed onto the walls of the arches. This functionality allows moss to be planted on far and high places.
Architectural Symbiosis We as a species have managed to surpass the speed and context of the evolutionary process that pushed us into the 21st century. Even though we are entering a new era, humanity is still behaving with a 20th century mindset. The question here is this: How will we frame architecture contextually and environmentally in the 21st century? The project of SEDRA attempts to be in a “constructive” dialogue with such questions. The design process behind SEDRA was to augment a symbiotic architectural organism. The aim was to construct interconnectivity into the building’s framework. This was achieved by assembling different functions that act symbiotically its surrounding ecosystem. The building’s functions are integrated to provide a connected cycle of sustainability. In a continuous cycle, the building would provide shelter to migrating birds, hydroponic farming for the region, and a research center to conduct studies on present day environmental conditions.

Construction Method
Object of Imbalance
The Object of Imbalance is a product of the ECCENTRI-CITY summer school program that aimed to explore the “eccentricities” of London. It was an installation that symbolized the changing urban landscape in East London’s community.
Collage
Gillet Square
Dalston Market
Dalston Skyline
Our podium of display was the Gillet Square in Dalston area. Dalston is considered to be at the center of East London. It is home to vibrant Markets, and a diverse community of local residents. Resting Imbalance
Oscillation
We envisioned our piece as an example of the changing tides of East london’s Urban Landscape. This shift is made apparent through the models oscillation, and the uneven balance between each side. One side representing the power of the individual vs the power of the city. The “Imbalance” rose from the recent shift in power in public spaces between the market and the residents.

CAIRENE
A SOCIETY FOR ECLECTIC CREATIVES, LIFESTYLE CHANGERS & NEW DOWNTOWNERS
Brief & Concept Cairene was a conceptual project for a proespective location on the Alexandria Desert Road. It was a blank slate project. So that gave an opportunity to create a unique brand fand architectural characterstics for the compound. My proposal was to reinvent Downtown Cairo’s Modern Art Deco style into a Residential Compound. As of now, This is a personal and to be continued on my own time.

Potential Views
Depending on the positioning of the towers it could optimize view potentials directed at "Marakez Towers", "ZED Towers" and the "Palm Hills" area with it's well designed landscape features. As a consequence of consistent commercial profit earnings land value could potentially grow parallel to the main roads of plot region. Main accessibilities are provided along main connections from "26th of July" and "Waslit Dahshur Rd."

Site Context The area of the given plot is dence with residential districts and gated communities, hence the original concept of 6th of October. Despite the already increased resitential zones, the area lacks the typology of high risers and towers. The competition for this certain form of architecture can be narrowed down to "ZED Towers" and "Marakez Towers". 6th of October is also famous for it's commercial hot-spots providing leisure and reatil opportunities to the public. Some of which are located along the road leading up to the plot such as "Arkan Mall", "Americana Plaza" "Galleria 40"and the neighbouring "Mall Of Arabia". Multiple educational facilities are provided in the area potentially hosting students from abroad and local academicians, such as Nile University, MUST University and Cairo University.
T-Towers was a conceptual proposal to what a tower complex, which consisted of apartments, hotels, office spaces and a mall would look like in complex space. This exploration of masses was an experimetent on how the towers Nearby Universities would affect the public space.
