TATWEER MISR PROJECT BRIEF

The Project, a 30 feddans land plot with a possible extension to 50 feddan upon need, is a part of the College Town of ‘Bloomfields’ that lies along El-Mostakbal Southern Road, a strategically important road at the northern edge of the New Administrative Capital. As Tatweer Misr for Developments started the project ‘Bloomfields’ in Mostakbal City, the main concept for the project was to create the first Egyptian college town. The educational component had always been the heart of ‘Bloomfields, the educational plot is in the middle of the land.

Bloomfields project will accommodate for around 10,000 residential units, which means it will host about 40 to 50 thousand people, adding to that; this project is a part of a bigger development “Mostakbal City”, which is planned to accommodate around 1.5 million people. Thus, naturally the university campus will be one of the largest magnets in the full development. The high educational standard and the undergraduate education that will be located

within the project will also play a huge role in creating a huge synergy and a place making development.

THE VISION: College Town Concept

As the education scene is developing all over the world, TATWEER MISR is realizing that playing a role and contributing to this scene is huge addition to the market. Thus, creating a new concept in ‘Bloomfields’ project, this new concept is to prepare the full life journey in the project; and this will happen through an important connection between postgraduate life and undergraduate life. This connection is going to be formed by an entrepreneurial/ innovation hub in the educational zone, to be the first in the Middle East and North Africa.

TATWEER MISR’s

vision for ‘Bloomfields’ College Town extends beyond the educational aspect; as it integrates residential, retail and sports components to create a full journey/

experience to all users. The design exercise is to develop an innovative hub within the College Town that will include start-up companies and co-working spaces, cultural components of libraries, theaters, and art galleries, and retail and food & beverage corridor. It will be directly connected to the main plaza within the educational zone’s center. And it will also be directly connected to the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s (NJIT) labs located at the heart of ‘Bloomfields’.

GSACS COIL PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project engages students from AUC and CUNY to investigate the urban-health challenges facing university students when accessing spaces related to physical and mental health at AUC (Cairo) and Guttman CUNY (NYC). Using online platforms for virtual exchange, students build a comparative analysis of how spatial, social and economic inequalities in campuses are constructed similarly and/or differently in both contexts. Semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, non-participatory observation, community focused groups, photos of the built environment together with mapping and visual graphics will be used to analyze, synthesize and propose solutions. The project addresses the United Nations’ SDG10 that emphasizes the importance of reducing inequalities within and among countries. The experiential learning project is twofold. First, it is a cross-cultural experience with group-work and teams created across the Atlantic between the global north (US) and the

global south (Egypt). Secondly, students are challenged to explore the inherited social, economic and spatial registers facing university-campuses when dealing with the pandemic and turbulent uncertainties at each respective community. At Cairo, students will explore students’ usage of open spaces and health-related facilities to maintain physical and mental health. At New York City, students will explore the utilization of open spaces and health-related facilities at Guttman College – CUNY in mitigating NonCommunicable Diseases (NCDs). At the end of the semester, both classes at AUC and Guttman College will participate in a student conference to disseminate their findings.

Inquiry-based questions for design:

1) At times of pandemic, and beyond, what are the urban design elements for a healthy, inclusive and earthly-responsible college town to be developed at Cairo’s desert environment?

2) How is SDG10 related to urban-health

issues, depicted across universities campuses of AUC (Cairo) and Guttman CUNY (NYC)? What are the similarities and differences for the different students’ groups across class, race and gender between the two cities and the study-groups of the two courses (AUC vs CUNY-Guttman) in terms of accessibilty to spaces of workingout, fitness, physical activity, sports, mental health, relaxation and meditation?

3) How to stimulate the mind, body and soul of a student community when creating a healthy college town?

CONCEPT

The concept behind designing this area was to create a vertical village experience. The shape of the building allows for an interesting and dynamic indoor/outdoor experience similar to Nouba however, fits well with the context and architectural style of the overall project. While the design itself is humble creating a humble experience similar to ones found in the Oasis it accomodates most of the activities that people will be practicing daily. Moreover, the design allows people to shop, dine, work, train while connecting to the nature through the building’s architecture and experience.

INTRODUCTION

AUC Urban Design students of Spring 2022 participated in a collaborative studio with Tatweer Misr real estate and CUNY university. The studio was divided into 6 groups consisting of approximately 7 students each which were named Chakras, A-Node, Interact, Sprout, The Oasis, and Caper Couth consecutively. Each group from AUC collaborated with a group from CUNY to investigate the urban-health challenges facing university students when accessing spaces related to physical and mental health at AUC, Cairo and Guttman CUNY, NYC.

The main aim of the AUC studio was to design the first open-access college town in Cairo, Egypt. The site, owned by Tatweer Misr (TM), was located in Bloomfields, Mostakbal City. The students presented their work through two main checkpoints to a jury from the TM team. This comparative analysis will analyze how well each proposal tackled the inquiry-based design questions discussed in the project brief. Inquiry based questions:

• At times of pandemic, and beyond, what are the urban design elements for a healthy, inclusive and earthly-responsible college town to be developed in Cairo’s desert environment?

• How is SDG10 related to urban-health issues, depicted across university campuses of AUC (Cairo) and Guttman CUNY (NYC)? What are the similarities and differences for the different students’ groups across class, race and gender between the two cities and the study-groups of the two courses (AUC vs

CUNY-Guttman) in terms of accessibility to spaces of working-out, fitness, physical activity, sports, mental health, relaxation and meditation?

• How to stimulate the mind, body and soul of a student community when creating a healthy college town?

We will focus our study on analyzing how well the students considered the UNs’ SDG10, (which emphasizes the importance of reducing inequalities within and among countries) through the lens of mind, body, and soul, while analyzing the other SDGs tackled. We dissected the inquiry-based questions and developed a framework of how we’re going to carry out this study. We will compare the students’ work through the topics of educational facilities, physical activity, sustainable transportation, landscape, solid and void, services, community engagement, recreational activities, views, and safety. Finally, we will rank the groups based on how well they addressed SDG 10 in their design proposals.

189

MIND

In this category, we want to analyze the spaces that inspire mental growth and learning in each project. We deduced that these spaces classify under educational facilities, which include but are not limited to coworking spaces, museums, and entrepreneurial hubs.

190 Spring 2022

EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES

Having the educational district on the north side of the plot, we want to analyze how well each proposal allocates their educational facilities in response to the context. We will study how well they invited students from the educational district, while considering the rest of the community. In order to achieve SDG 10, students should accomplish a design which engages the students from the neighboring educational district, as well as the rest of the community.

Most groups were able to achieve that connectivity between the students, but few considered how to involve the community. Having analyzed the educational facilities’ distribution, we deduced that Sprout has the largest area of educational facilities amongst all proposals, while The Oasis doesn’t have any.

Sprout’s design was able to accomplish the most inviting layout to allow students to engage with the college town. Meanwhile, Caper Couth was the most accessible for the students from the educational district. However, their educational facilities act more as a barrier and don’t encourage students to further explore and engage with the college town.

As for the community involvement, Sprout and Chakras were the most inclusive, by including diverse types of educational facilities as well as spreading them across their plot. On the other hand, Interact was less inclusive in terms of community involvement due to their educational facilities being located on the edge of the plot, and the functions merely serving the neighboring students, illustrating the division from the rest of community.

BODY

In this category, we want to analyze the spaces that inspire physical health and wellbeing. We’ve encapsulated these spaces into a few main categories; physical activities, sustainable transportation, landscape, services and facilities to cover topics such as air quality, walkability, physical activity and accessible facilities.

192 Spring 2022

PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

Based on the research focus, the students should focus on the availability and accessibility of physical activities to the community, while including a diverse range of these activities for the internal and external community. Incorporating these physical activities throughout the design shows a good representation of SDG 3 “Good Health and Well-Being”.

All groups have incorporated a variety of physical activities through their proposals. However, Caper Couth has the highest concentration of these activities. In order to seamlessly connect the internal and external communities, they placed their physical activities on the main pedestrian spine and the external road. Meanwhile, The Oasis has the lowest concentration of physical activities which are located in

the heart of the college town. In spite of being located in the town’s center, it’s less accessible within the internal community as there’s no direct pedestrian path from the residential areas to these activities.

SPATIAL DENSITY

In this point of study, we calculated the ratios between solid and void for each proposal to deduce the building densities, which has a significant impact on the heating and cooling effect of the space; also targetting SDG 3.

All projects have controlled the ratios of solid and voided areas, which are well above the minimum range of 40-50%. All proposals also used similar solid-to-void ratios throughout their designs. However, Interact and Chakras have the highest percentage of voids in their layout. They both have a more uniform distribution of these voids throughout the layout, allowing for better cooling. Although the percentage of voids in A-Node is not low, it has the lowest solid to void ratios when compared to the other groups. Additionally, the density of some areas in the plot are relatively high which

could be the cause for some unnecessary heating in the space.

GREENERY

In this point of analysis, we measured the amount of outdoor greenery in the projects. To achieve SDG 10, it is critical to emphasize the space’s usability and efficiency in terms of air purification, cooling, and shading to demonstrate the impact on the users’ physical health and wellbeing which also tackles SDG 3.

The Oasis and Interact have the largest surface area of outdoor greenery in their projects. While Sprout came in second in the largest surface area, they also incorporated vertical farming as their key design element. Moreover, A-Node encompassed the smallest amount of greenery in their proposal, and while they included it along the main spine in one way or another, it wasn’t well integrated with other functions

along the site.

As for the shading of pathways, Sprout included the most amount of trees along the main and subpaths to increase shading and enhance cooling and walkability. Although Interact has the highest percentage of greenery, it has the least amount of shading throughout the design along the pathways as they relied more on green cover than trees.

SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION

Incorporating sustainable transportation in a city helps achieve SGD10. We will study the types of sustainable transportation available in each proposal while analyzing their walkability and proximity between the facilities within the town, which also targets SDG 11 “Sustainable Cities and Communities”.

We deduced that Sprout is the most walkable project, with the most pedestrian paths and bike lanes throughout.They strategically placed vehicular access on the site’s periphery, relying on pedestrian paths as their primary mode of transportation that could easily connect between the majority of the facilities. Meanwhile, A-Node is the least walkable, as it relies on vehicular roads as their primary mode of transportation, which could segment the facilities from the community.

To achieve a self-sufficient college town, it’s important to include diverse services and facilities throughout. These services include but are not limited to hypermarkets, hospitals, pharmacies and retail areas. This point of analysis also targets SDG 17 “Partnerships for the Goals” which highlights a self sufficienct city. We’ll analyze the percentage of services throughout each proposal, while discussing their diversity in that regard.

The Oasis has the highest area of services, while A-Node and Caper Couth have the lowest. However, both The Oasis and A-Node lack diversity in terms of the services they offer. Both proposals only include commercial services, whereas Caper Couth includes a mosque, food and beverage facilities and a medical

center regardless of having the smallest area.

SOUL

In this category, we want to analyze the spaces that encourage mental health. We classified them into community engagement, recreational activities, pleasant views, public-private relationship, and safety. The topics studied were porosity, communal activities, handicap access, leisure, meditation, views, stimulating senses, eye on the street, accessibility, etc.

198 Spring 2022

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Recreational activities have a significant impact on mental well-being as it promotes social interaction, which strengthens the sense of community among users and boosts their quality of life. SDG 10 recognizes how crucial it is to lessen inequality among individuals. To do this, students should encapsulate an all inclusive range of recreational activities which can be enjoyed by all. At this stage of the analysis, we measured the surface area of leisure and meditative activities included in each design concept, paying particular attention to the level of inclusion of these chosen activities.

Chakras and Caper Couth effectively incorporated the largest surface area of recreational activities in their proposals. Their design gathers diverse recreational

activities promoting better social engagement. Interact, on the other hand, contained the least amount of recreational zones in their layout with the least variety of activities. Because of this, Interact ultimately limits user interaction and engagement within the college town.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Involving the community in engaging activities is critical in regards to SDG10, minimizing inequalities and enhancing the sense of belonging within any space. Throughout each proposal, we will assess the percentage of community-driven activities, the diversity of their functions, and accessibility to the diverse community members.

Caper Couth has the highest concentration of community-led activities dispersed across the main spine and on the periphery of the plot, while also maintaining diverse activities that consider the internal and external community. On the other hand, Interact has the lowest concentration of community-led activities within their plot, which lack diversity since most of the spaces are reserved for physical activities,

which may not consider the various age groups within the community.

PRIVACY AND PUBLIC SPACE

Providing safety within a community is crucial for psychological well being. In this part of the research, we analyzed how well each group addressed safety within their open-access proposals. This will be analyzed in terms of the transitions between public to private spaces, while also analyzing their degree of accessibility and eyes on the streets.

Chakras had the highest amount of public spaces on their proposal which consequently led to them also having the least amount of private spaces. In most of their residential areas, they created a buffer zone for semi public spaces between their residential areas and public spaces, which improves safety. This semi public space is a positive approach in creating activities for the community, which provides more privacy for

users, and also results in increasing the eyes on the street within the neighborhood. Although being an open-access community, Chakras managed to create clear entry points for visitors within the public sector by using buildings as boundaries between their semipublic to private zones. Although The Oasis has the lowest percentage of public spaces, they also have the highest percentage of semi public spaces within their site. They used these semi public spaces in creating a buffer between public and private zones to enhance safety in their proposal.

VIEWS

Views can have a direct impact on the psychological well being of the community. In order to achieve SDG 10, we want to assess the students’ projects to shed light on the consistency of view quality throughout the project from all facilities. We looked at the various view features relative to the overall area of the facilities in each proposal.

The figure shows that Chakras has the most facilities with high-quality views, with a smaller area having facilities with only average views. This is a result of their inward-looking architecture and evenly spaced greenery. On the contrary, A-Node had the lowest percentage of aesthetically acceptable views and the highest percentage of blocked views due to the dense concentration of buildings in some areas on the site.

CONCLUSION

OVERALL RANKING

In this comparative analysis, we determine how well each group considered the United Nations’ SDG 10, which highlights the importance of reducing inequalities in the region. We concentrated on the Mind, Body and Soul, which was addressed in terms of mental, physical and psychological wellbeing. The topics studied include educational facilities, physical activity, sustainable transportation, landscape, solid and void, services, community engagement, recreational activities, views, and safety. We reviewed these individual studies and compiled them into one chart to rank them in descending order.

Evidently, Sprout was the most successful proposal in achieving SDG 10 and addressing the design brief. In the Mind category, they were the strongest in connecting the neighboring educational zone and including the community to the educational facilities on the site. In the Body category, they incorporated a holistically walkable design, that is well shaded, and encourages physical activity. However, they lacked variety within the services they provided, which makes the design less self-sufficient. Finally, in the Soul category, they were able to achieve a well-connected and safe community through their activities, spatial zoning, and overall layout.

On the other hand, The Oasis was the least successful proposal in reducing inequalities within the community. In the Mind category, they were the weakest proposal in connecting the community and the educational zone

to their college town. As for the Body category, they included the most services and greenery of all groups, however, they lacked variety in activities, services, and well-defined walkways throughout the design. Lastly, in the Soul category, they were able to achieve a safe environment within the community by creating smooth transitions between public to private zones, and eyes on the streets. However, they were unsuccessful in engaging the community together as a whole, which can negatively impact the psychological wellbeing of the users.

Overall, AUC students considered the SDG 10 and design brief in their proposals. In the Mind category, the students focused more on connecting the facilities to the neighboring college town but they haven’t all addressed how to involve the rest of the community through varying activities and distribution. In the Body category, most students focused on the overall walkability within their projects through adding shading, walkways and outdoor greenery. Although they included a degree of diversity within their physical activities and functions, most groups lacked diversity within the necessary services to create a successful, self-sufficient college town. Finally, in the Soul category, most proposals focused on community engagement within their proposals and including a variety of activities that involve all. They mostly contained smooth transitions between public to private spaces that control the overall safety of the college town.
