SEVA Socio-Ecological Visual Analytics: A visual analytics environment for interdisciplinary decision making linking Human Biometrics and Environmental Data
This dissertation presents a novel approach to to determine the limitations and challenges of the visualization, sharing and analysis of a more extensive array of data types and models, from structured data and knowledge management to live streaming. Critically, the contextualization and semantic annotations of data quality and significance are automatically integrated into the uploading of information to the visualization environment, so that vital contributions to the analysis of meaning and the inference of knowledge are preserved with the provenance of the data. The Socio-Ecological

Visualization Analytics (SEVA) environment was designed to incorporate multiple techniques with a focus that allows the user to explore, analyze, and share the data and knowledge findings. This research uses two use cases that incorporate both human factors and environmental data in order to demonstrate how SEVA accommodates a far greater range of users, in comparison to existing visualization and modeling environments with a significantly extended array of interdisciplinary datasets and methods that can be combined.

Improving Buildings’ Energy Performance by Defining Optimum Shape Geometry of SunBreakers Window Shading Abstract Sun-breakers are commonly used as external shading devices in buildings. They are composed of protruding surfaces around window edges to block solar rays from entering into the spaces to reduce energy cooling loads Good design of sun-breakers blocks solar rays during hot summer months to reduce cooling load, while passes them during cold winter season to decrease heating load. However, this design method may be over-simplified for global use. There are many locations where winter solar access generates cooling loads. Also, months that are similar in solar path location -e.g. August and April- cannot be similarly treated, as their climatic thermal conditions are different. Current design methods may use geometrical analytic Approaches to design sun Breakers, others are based on energy saving, usually are search methods. This paper reports on a research that aims at enhancing current methods for defining the optimum shape geometry of sun breakers. By providing energy based cut-off date that can be used with geometrical methods for design of shading devices for each geographical location. Cut-off date is defined according to optimum annual energy performance, including heating and cooling, and lighting loads. The energy performance of a typical building space was modeled using Energy Plus software. Sun breaker edge profiles were defined to fit around this window by geometric modeling of the solar rays for monthly time periods. Annual energy performance of series of edge shapes was simulated. The optimum edge profiles and cut off months and hours were defined for different locations. Results demonstrate that the cut-off date depends on both Latitude and climatic Condi-
tions, using the method can lead to the design of sun breakers with significant energy savings.

Effectiveness of External Wall Shading in Reducing the Energy Consumption of Desert Buildings Abstract Shading has been always recommended as a way for solar control and reduction of heat gain in buildings. It blocks direct solar radiation of the hot desert environments, where cooling loads are significant. A number of publications addressed the effect of shading wall openings, such as windows, on energy consumption. However, a limited number of publications addressed the effectiveness of the shading of the solid parts of walls under extreme desert conditions. This paper investigates the energy saving potential of the shading of external solid walls of buildings. Simulations were conducted using the EnergyPlus Software. Annual energy consumption was calculated for two types of wall configurations and different wall shading alternatives. Values were derived for different cities having different climatic conditions. Conclusions were drawn on the best utilization of external wall shading methods.

Being a good neighbor is a concept that was implemented in the historical development of the Arab cities as shown by a number of scholars. This concept that is deeply rooted in our urban culture is of immense importance and relevance to the issue of the so called contextualism today in our cities. It will also help reorient the many conflicts taking place in our cities in a way that is more life enhancing. This will also help to preserve collective memory of certain community through certain approach to surrounding structures. Whether this help in bringing about the maximum good to the community. More over, we will move beyond the shallow attitudes that emphasize externalities irrespective of their relation to the inner quality of the building and relevance to users and the context in the broadest meaning. A thoughtful reading of our cities and their origins should help in the development of more valuable visions for the future. Political context The youth center is part of the national institution for the youth which is a central body that oversees the youth centers all over Egypt and one of the manifestation of a central state. This present a conflict with what the state advocates of free market policies which requires a sense of decentralization and a degree of democracy. Economical context The considerable portion of poor people as well as the rising unemployment especially among the youth is one of the economical facts of both local and national economy. Social context The prevailing of conservatism as well as the level of education and loosening bonds of local communities and among families.

The intense work and research on the down town areas world wide as well as local needs and challenges has led to revive the awareness of Cairo down town area. A grand plan for Cairo 2050 is well under way. Part of this plan is the most recent international limited competition organized by GOPP to develop the down two area. The winning project developed a vision for the down town that was celebrated by the government officials. Yet it needs more to be understood and analyzed. Parallel to this grand plan for Cairo and its down town, are the recent efforts by the AUC to revive the down town campus and convert it into a cultural hub in the down town in addition to being a center for community education. This studio will be concerned with some of the architectural action that can be proposed in order to envision an influential contribution to the rebirth of Cairo’s down town.
