‘‘
Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

[ Steve Jobs ]
Graduated with Honours from The Faculty of Fine Arts Architecture Department -Alexandria University 2013 [Overall Rank : 1st ] Throughout my work and education I have gathered experience in Architecture working in various scale projects and installations, as a result, I now possess a wide set of skills and therefore I consider myself ready to cope with new challenges. Being involved in various types of projects over the years has helped me become an effective & efficient individual, with the advantage of being curious and a fast learner. I am constantly improving my skills and trying to adopt different approaches used in the design process. I’ve completed several courses on BIM, parametric modeling and sustainable design.At this stage of my career my goal is to focus all my energy and time on work. My priority is to successfully complete my given task, while learning new design methods and exposing myself to global design trends and issues.

Pu ALX Performing Arts Center 01 Type : Graduation project Degree : Excellent [1st] Year : 2013 Place : Alexndria ,Egypt
Based on the Strategic Planning for the west area of Alexandria, it’s planned to be the new city extension; the area of Menat Al Basal will transform from an industrial area to a cultural and touristic one [like The Bilbao effect] And therefore its intended that the project will be a new landmark added to the heritage of modern Alexandria as it will be an attraction point for the region; it will be a new kind of performing arts center which can interact with the visitors. The site is located in an industrial zone which is characterized by simplicity and large scale buildings. Despite the project’s modern style which will create a dynamic space and get the visitors’ attention., it still respects the main characteristics of the surroundings in terms of; scale and urban fabric.

CommercialCenterProject at Al-Raml area, City Center. In accordance with the development project of Al-Raml area, it was decided to transform the site from a range of shops into one commercial center in order to serve the region and be a new landmark. Taking into consideration the historical and cultural value of the area and the surrounding buildings with maintaining the main characteristics of the area which is, in this case, height, this had a great effect in the design process. The project is composed of two parts: The front part was designed in order to fit the heritage nature of the place and respect the height allowed and the rear part was the modern part where it took advantage of the waterfront, which has not been taken advantaged of before.

Museums in Egypt now adays always looks closed on itself, making the museum culture, and especially this kind, no longer exist in the Egyptian society. Because of the nature of our busy lives and lack of time and motivation to see art works, the idea behind this project is to provide a new type of museums; more open and welcoming. People can see through the glazed walls part some of the art works inside in-order to increase their curiosity, and attract them inside, to see the rest of unfamiliar and exciting art works. Also this project was to focus on finding a relationship that achieves balance and harmony between the museum and the context, where it overlooks one of the most important and historical parks in heritage areas in the city.

One of the main goals of this project was to focus on providing the right environment that achieves correlation between students and faculty members by providing architecture spaces that meet all needs, for example; workshops for practical experiments, plazas to display their work for inspiration, and finally social and entertainment spaces for active social relations among students.

Egypt urban nature is no longer suitable to create an environmentally suitable housing, it was necessary to escape from it and the solution was to rise to the top, where there is less pollution, noise, more privacy, nature and comfort. This project presents a model of a sustainable vertical community which is designed to provide an appropriate social and environmental climate to create a whole society based on human social relations which no longer exist, especially this kind of buildings. And, of course, preservation of the environment in terms of energy consumption and sustainable green architecture.

Mi ICE CUBE
14
Type : Workshop Year : 2011 Place : Alexandria , Egypt
(Design and assembly) For five beautiful days, a workshop theme “ICE CUBE” was held at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of architecture , Alexandria University .ICE CUBE is simply an installation experiment located somewhere between art, architecture and communication design. It was located at the main exhibition hall at the main old building of the faculty itself. The exhibition itself contained researches and models for the “Theories of architecture” subject done by the students themselves. ICE CUBE is an attempt that focuses on the development and practices of innovative computational tools processes, theories and applying these in creative, socially meaningful responses to challenging design problems. It is all, about the planning of interpretive spaces. Rather than the additive process, where the design is a simultaneously networked, dialectical process, one which develops a dialogue
between verbal-conceptual and visual-representational rhetorical techniques. The intention is to create a complete playful parametric model which defines the relationships between design concept and fabrication in addition to implementation of a 1:1 model within a space where theory can be translated into practice through experimentation of an economical material (12*12*12cm Plastic cube “ ICE CUBE” ) . This is relatively new ‘low tech – high concept’ approach in architecture where digital media and material is a playful method that opens up the design process to spontaneity and surprise. ICE CUBE attempt address the Egyptian architecture community to adopt further workshops that discuss digital Design ideas, technical innovation and fabrication techniques, in addition to creation of a digital design community node.
