CHAPTER 1: IDENTITY
Bank Headquarter in NAC
Introduction This chapter discusses the topic of identity that can be pursued in a variety of ways. Architecture acts as a credential and, from an identity standpoint, expresses the thoughts of its own people, resulting in different architecture throughout time and space.
CHAPTER 1: Identity
Bank Headquarter in NAC
1.0.0 IDENTITY It's an expression that's frequently conceived and depicted as a historically timeless entity. Persisting in particular aspects of architectural design, heritage preservation, architectural history, and literature across time.
1.0.1 DEFINITION OF IDENTITY Identity is a term that refers to an individual's, group's, or thing's self-image, and it is formed by factors such as attitude, personality, experience, belief, and history. Time is one of the most important aspects defining identity since the variables that shape identity vary through time.
1.0.2 ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY The meaning and value, or identity, of architecture, is often conceptualized and portrayed as a historically timeless entity. Keeping on within certain areas of building design, literature, heritage preservation, and architectural history. It is commonly considered that architecture has a singular identity that does not change through time. This idea may be found in traditional architectural design, heritage preservation, architectural literature, and history, all of which take a static approach to the meaning or worth of architecture. Like the Egyptian identity, which is easily identifiable.
Fig. 1 Identity
Fig.2 Architecture identity
1.0.3 SUGGESTED RULES FOR SAVING IDENTITY The architectural precepts that give cities, or regions, their character should be respected. Buildings that exhibit creative expression and the city's traditional culture should be found in every city. We should not modify the character of cities; rather, we should renovate them (to bring the past's inherited identity into the present) in order to preserve memories, since this is our identity legacy.
1.0.4 RENOVATION OF ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY The architectural identity of an area reveals its social development level when architects integrate the region's national style in buildings that the community requires. The most important stage in preserving an architectural identity is recognising the constant and variable aspects that influence it and making updated adjustments that blend in with the environment, man-made alterations, building style, and typography. This harmony should be represented in the shape and design of the building. An example on this is the Obelisco Capitale tower in New Administrative Capital, the tower's architecture is inspired from the Pharaonic style. The proportions of the Obelisco Capitale Tower were taken exactly from the original obelisk dimensions in ancient Egypt. In conclusion, the architectural details should reveal the identity.

1.0.6 THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY •Time Organization: The surrounding nature changes over time from the beginning of life and the human have played a role in this changing with the building construction and architecture identity can tell the culture and social structure of its time.
CHAPTER 1: Identity
Bank Headquarter in NAC •Semantic Organization: There are numerous historical events, conflicts, and victories in every culture that contributed to the creation of a collective memory among the people, making every architectural space its emblem. •Form of the Building: Because the building's design represents the community's culture notions, it's critical to select a design that is culturally appropriate. •Spatial Organization: The space consists of a group of objects that has specific relation which help with defining the system. The components that help in defining the space are design and layout to determine the connection between the elements. Therefore, the difference in organization the objects cause is different in the relationships and spatial association various with different cultures •Building Material: "Original and quality materials replace surface and make a superior alternative with higher intrinsic worth," said Adolf Loos. The construction material aids in the knowledge of the space because each material has its unique characteristics such as hardness, softness, and so on. The ability to touch and see the substance justifies this function. The construction materials used in architecture may reveal information about a person's faith, values, and culture. cultures. •General Design Principles: General design principles represent the ideas and concepts that drive architecture design and give coherence in the design process.At various points in human history, ideas have played a major influence in the evolution of civilization. The architect's imagination is capable of extracting and evaluating previous thoughts and structures, which is why architecture is a thinking profession. Because a concept is a tool for solving architectural difficulties, architecture with identity requires innovative concepts that fits with the culture of the time period. •Relationship with Context: Every living organism is surrounded by its environment and interacts with it. This link helps human knowledge and control of the environment. Because the building interacts with its surroundings in three ways, it is important to pay attention to the environment while designing architecture. 1. The building with the surrounding environment the slightest shift in the surrounding nature is made to provide architecture space, as the structure merges with the surrounding nature. 2. The opposition the arrangement corresponds to its surroundings. 3. The relationship between architectural spaces and their surroundings is critical in guiding the design of a house. The unity and visual cohesion between the building and landscape may play a strong role in establishing architectural identity.
CHAPTER 1: Identity
Bank Headquarter in NAC
1.1.0 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHARACTER AND IDENTITY According to Le Corbusier, "a building should have a personality."Many of the physical characteristics and aesthetic elements that make up a building's look are referred to as character. The general form of the structure, its materials, craftsmanship, architectural elements, internal spaces and features, site, and atmosphere are all factors that contribute to its character. For example, in Islamic architecture, which is permanent and hereditary but is not added to any building, a visual feature is an architectural character that is defined over time by its specific ornaments and details. This factor is assessed using three criteria: materials, characteristics, and spaces. The architecture's physical features are a reflection of the culture's continuity, as well as a reference to a certain period. When it comes to development, there must be a hierarchy based on land, living standards, customs, and morality. The success of a location in establishing an identity is due to its unique characteristic as a visual picture. As a result, the shape differs in its components and external influences influencing its concepts, as well as its negative effects on human life, which has little aesthetical visual appeal. We can't tell the difference between perfection and an ugly picture because we've become used to ugliness.
Fig. 6 Islamic Features
1.1.2 HOW THE CHARACTER OF A BUILDING CAN CHANGE? This may be accomplished by removing a distinctive side porch, altering the surrounding landscape, altering the window sash, altering the major space arrangements, introducing an atrium, painting previously unpainted woodwork, and so on.
1.1.3 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
Fig. 7 The use of Landscape inside the building
• Functional Character of a Building: Every building has a goal, and each one is designed to serve a particular purpose. The exterior facade is in keeping with the internal plans, which explains the building's function. The exterior facade plays the most important role in determining the structure's function and the building's purpose. For example: -A museum can be identified by using skylights instead of glass, -Public buildings can be identified by using an asymmetrical entrance to a central block with a wide entrance to express harmony and flow. •Associated Character of a Building: Some elements expressed the character of the building that is associated with certain influences. These influences can be historical or cultural for thousands of years. -Cultural aspects play an important role in determining the Associated Character of a particular structure. -The features are how we determine a building that we associate with a particular structural style. Church is usually indicated by a spire on a tower by the side of a spacious building. Hindu temple is depicted by a gopuram. A crescent and a white dome is the symbol of a mosque. CHAPTER 1: Identity
Bank Headquarter in NAC -The features are how we determine a building that we associate with a particular structural style. Church is usually indicated by a spire on a tower by the side of a spacious building. Hindu temple is depicted by a gopuram. A crescent and a white dome is the symbol of a mosque. •Personal Character of a Building: A character in architecture is equivalent to a person's characteristics. Person attributes such as pride, dignity, and energy can be expressed as a necessary piece of the structure if a building is built in the right spirit. • Contextual Character of a Building: It is responsible for defining architectural spaces. Buildings, topography, site setting, scenery, and fabricated features all have a connection
1.1.4 Relation Between Identity and Character Identity and character share the same meaning; they aid in the identification of social character that is linked to location and timing. Culture is described as the gathering of a certain level of society around a common standard in order to ensure that human attitudes are preserved while preserving their beauty, as designed by particular pioneers. to enhance the architectural style by a successful human-environment relationship to cope with its spiritual issues. The transfer of symbolic architecture culture starts with the matching of its criteria to its traditional culture. To illustrate, personality is what we inherited from our ancestors that cannot be lost, while character is something an architect provides to a building by its material, facade, and several other influences, as previously mentioned, and character can be broken and modified.
1.2.0 EGYPTIAN IDENTITY 1.2.1 Identity Identity, according to the dictionary definition and scholars, is what distinguishes a thing or person. If we apply this definition to Egypt, we find that Egypt's identity has several factors that define it; this includes language, customs, geography, history, and heritage. A.Language aspect, is the real Egyptian Language, the language of the citizens which is written in the Arabic language is made as a reaction to the combination of Arabic and Egyptian Heritages. B. Tradition aspect, they are the most important thing for the Egyptian people, we are the citizens that care about their traditions and heritage. At the same Time, Egyptian people respect the traditions of their neighbors and deal with them. C. Geographic aspect, Egypt is located in Africa in a location in the middle of the world. It belongs to the Mediterranean countries and some a half European country, so it is impossible to belong it to a specific place. It is created to be a center of freedom. D. Historic Aspect, Egypt is ruled and passed by 11 different eras by different nationalities and traditions. Every era gives the Egyptians a different heritage. According to Hemdan.G., Egypt has its own character and nationality

1.2.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF EGYPTIAN IDENTITY A book by the Coptic intellectual Dr. Milad Hanna, discussing the main characteristics of Egyptian identity, because of its effective role in many civilizations, through the seven pillars.
Historic Pillars
Fig. 8 The Seven Pillars (by Author)
1. The Pharaonic Pillar: Is the first and massive belonging supporting the Egyptian identity. It is the great pride and glory that all Egyptians feel of their belonging to such a great and old civilization. It's one of the oldest and long-lasting civilizations in history. It's known for its marvelous achievements and spectacular success in many fields, such as engineering, architecture, medicine, art, statecrafts, and astronomy. The language of this era was the ancient Egyptian language and it was written in hieroglyphs letters.
Fig.9 Pharaonic Painting shows their civilization
Fig. 10 Sphinx
2. The Greco-Roman Pillar: It's the second main pillar affecting the Egyptian identity. After the conquest of Alexander, the Great in the year 332 BCE, the Greek civilization and philosophy influence affected each person in Egypt. They discovered Alexandria city and made it the learning center of Egypt, which teaches the ancient Egyptian culture and Greek culture, spreading their language and faith all over Egypt.

CHAPTER 1: Identity
Fig.12 Coptic Paintings
Bank Headquarter in NAC 3. The Coptic Pillar: The Coptic civilization is linked to the Greek civilization as it came with it to Egypt. It's the second religion after the ancient Egyptian religion of the pharaonic period. Christianity gained a rapidly powerful foothold in Egypt especially, in Alexandria, where it's the starting point for the spread of this faith. Alexandria was the vibrant center of learning and philosophy due to the Greek conquest and the spread of their culture in Egypt, and again Alexandria was the starting point for this spread. That's why in the very early Christian period Alexandria was the heart of this faith.
4. The Islamic Pillar: The Egyptian identity and the Arabic identity are inseparable. With the entry of Arabs into Egypt, gradually, the third and final change took place. The majority of Egyptian people converted to Islam and the remaining minority remained Christian. However, the people of Egypt as a whole embraced Arabic as their language, this resulted in the formation of a single united nation that spoke one language, had one culture, and shared the same human and social characteristics. This happened with two religions coexisting for centuries.
Fig. 13 Sultan Hassan Mosque
Geographic Pillars: 5. Arabic Identity Pillar: Egyptian Identity is not separable from its Arabic Identity. Egypt had changed its language and religion about three times. First, it was the Ancient Egyptian language which was written by the hieroglyphic letters, then improved to be a hierocratic language which was the language of the Priests
Fig.14 Egypt's location - World Map
Later on, it was the democratic language which is the language of the citizens and which is related to the religious aspects of the ancient Egyptians. According to Breasted.H. (1905), the democratic language is the improved source of religious statements and all the improvements in the country's state. Then, Egypt goes with the Coptic language in the Coptic era which was considered as the main language for this era till now. The Third and Last change was after the entering of the Arabs into Egypt, gradually all people started entering Islam, and Egyptians as a whole embraced the Arabic Language. This resulted in the formation of a single united nation that spoke one language, had one culture, and shared the same human and social characteristics. Although, this happened with two religions coexisting for centuries. For the Geographic State, the special location for Egypt gives it special characteristics and deep civilization on politics, investments, society, and religious States. Egypt was and always will be the heart of the world, situated in a mid-state between Libya, Marrakesh, and Tunis from the west, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq from east and Sudan and Pensuila from south and east. CHAPTER 1: Identity
Bank Headquarter in NAC 6. The Mediterranean Pillar: The Egyptian Identity rises from Egypt's attachments with the Mediterranean. All civilizations had come from this sea. The connection between the Egyptian people and the Mediterranean is quite strong though the people from Alexandria and Port Said are quite on the same psychological, customs and traditions are so near with people from Athens, Larnaca, Genoa, and Naples. This Link Between all of those countries makes most of them tend to learn Arabic. 7- The African Pillar: The African Identity of Egypt is like an invitation for a brighter future. Egypt did not appear its African Identity until it supported the national liberation movement during the government of President Gamal Abdel Nasser. According to Hemdan. G, If Egypt is an African Country by its land and water, but European by its nationality and blood, so the Egyptians are half or more than half of European. So that Egypt is half European, Third half Asian, and one-sixth of African. Europe Starts from Alexandria. Asia from Cairo and Africa from Aswan.
1.2.3 ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY The nature of Egypt required it to be like a melting pot that embraces civilizations, and as a result Egypt faces a great shortage in having a distinctive architectural identity, out of linkage absence with its inherited architectural legacy, due to the successive overlapping of different cultures. On the other hand, Egypt succeeded in bringing out its own mixture with an Egyptian touch, and it can be touched through the different cultures and architectural styles of the same civilization in two different countries such as Egypt and Turkey, for example in the Ottoman era. However, this couldn't save the Egyptian identity and have a clear and distinctive one. The Egyptian architecture style lasted till the native Pharaonic dynasties ending with the conquest of Alexander the Great in 332 BC. After that Egypt has had many architectural styles, starting with the Roman, Greek and Islamic, such as the Mamluk, Ottoman, European, modernist and postmodern, for example, and all of these styles made some Egyptian architects wonder, which of them represents Egypt? and after many discussions and struggles about the Egyptian identity, they did not find a pure and distinctive civilization to represent Egypt other than the ancient Egyptian civilization. So, many architects considered the pharaonic architectural identity to be the only one that represents Egypt. The reason behind why other civilizations are excluded is that most of them turn to have a copy of their local styles in Egypt away from its traditional architectural style, without trying to link it to the buildings they built. Nowadays architects are trying to save our architectural identity by implementing historical revival and by linking modern architecture to our ancient civilization, and they have agreed that the two civilizations that have the most influence on the Egyptian architectural identity, with a strong reference to history, which are Pharaonic, and the Islamic. However, Islamic Architecture is not only an Egyptian Style but is a result of many integrated backgrounds to cope with the different values and urban contexts around the Middle East. Even though Islamic Architecture was a dominating style since the beginning of Islam in Egypt in the 17th Century, every culture adds its own cult and religious practice as Umayyad, Abbasid, Ikhshid Dynasties, and Ottoman later on.
CHAPTER 1: Identity
Bank Headquarter in NAC The Islamic Architectural Style ends up by the beginning of the French campaign in the 18th Century by the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte, which reflects the architectural style differently. After the coming of Muhammed Ali, he copied the European features to Egypt without integrating it with the existed identity to balance it, the copying of the same features and architectural elements, as Moorish arches from the Italian architecture in Alexandria.
Fig.15 The Doge's Palace in Italy
Fig. 16 Little Venice apartment block, Alexandria
The added new public places in Egypt, such as theatres, opera houses, public gardens, and modern infrastructure are all inspired by the renovation plan of Paris made by Haussmann. Both Cairo and Vienna opera houses were built in 1968 which had the same features of the architectural style of its era, which proves that the identity turned to be global, not local.
Fig. 17 The Old Cairo Opera House
Fig.18 Vienna Opera House
The new researchers and architects aim to develop new architectural identity definitions and categories in a modern way, as well as in the sense of Egyptian culture. Egypt's foreign affairs ministry building is a good example of various ethnic or national identities by using ancient pharaonic lotus flowers.
1.3.0 CONCLUSION
Fig. 19 Egypt's Foreign affairs ministry building.
In the end, identity is the totality of features that distinguish something from another, or a person from another, or a group from others. Each carries several elements in its identity. Identity elements are a dynamic moving thing that can emerge one or some of them at one stage and the other at another stage. And the identity undergoes civilized changes as a result of the invasion of a number of different civilizations, and thus the architectural identity is also affected by all these changes.

2.1.0 BANK HEADQUARTER INFORMATION What is a Bank Headquarter? The headquarter is the main building of every big company . It is usually responsible for the overall success of the corporation and ensures corporate governance. It is the place where many of the key business decisions are made ,and where where the executives of a business work. It is sometimes referred to as the head office.
CHAPTER 2: Proposed Project
Bank Headquarter in NAC
2.2.0 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND By 1976, a new office building design had begun in Cairo, which had been well-known around the world for many years. These office buildings were constructed with advanced features that were completely new to the Egyptian market, such as air conditioning, interior false ceilings, aluminum curtain walls, private parking spaces, security, fire alarm, and telex. This type of building was so successful and had a great demand at a time. The Egyptian investment market has transformed by 1980. The cost of renting or purchasing space in these already-built office buildings was too expensive for banks and Egyptian investment firms. To minimise extra cost, many buildings were already under construction by the end of 1980. For example, the office buildings “the Nile tower” and “Cairo plaza.” These two instances were improved in terms of structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC repairs, as well as new cladding for the exterior envelope. During this time, the majority of the structures were planned by consultants or foreign architects.
Fig. 20 Cairo plaza towers before applying new cladding.
As the cost of power and energy has risen, investors have begun to focus on ways to reduce energy usage in buildings. Also, there has been a significant increase in public awareness of climate change and the need to reduce GHG emissions. At this time the community started to accept the green building concept, it started spreading worldwide , and consequently in Egypt as well. A great increase in number noticed for the buildings that has registered green building rating systems such as “LEED”. Through the years 2007 and 2016 , 15 buildings acquired LEED certificate in Egypt. “HSBC Bank” located in the smart village - Cairo Alexandria desert road, is the first certified LEED gold office buildings in Egypt in 2010 . “The Egyptian Mud Engineering and Chemicals Company - EMEC headquarters” located in El-Shorouk city, is the latest LEED certified office building in 2018.

The site lies in a strategic position along the corridor between Cairo and the red sea. The city will become a focal point to the eastern Cairo region. The future city would be a complementary expansion to the wider metropolis area and will be completely integrated within greater Cairo with the new intercity rail-wailing. CHAPTER 3: Location Selection
Bank Headquarter in NAC
3.1.0 BACKGROUND OF NEW ADIMINSTRATIVE CAPITAL The New Administrative city will cover 715 km2 (170,000 m2), have a population of 6.5 million people, and provide 2 million jobs. Additionally, the Egyptian government has decided to relocate government departments, parliament, and civic institutions to the New Administrative Capital.
Why is Egypt Building a New Capital City? Egypt is constructing the New Capital to have a variety of accommodation and job options, bearing in mind that Egypt's population is expected to nearly double in the next 40 years. The aim is also to eradicate suffocation, which is now one of Cairo's most pressing issues due to the city's growing population. The city seeks to solve Egypt's challenges while also providing a unique quality of life. The government is looking for a way to respond to the changing demographics and society. Egypt economy is now growing again this project is going to be a catalyst for forward progress. The country's population is young and dynamic.

2- Vertical circulation refers to how individuals travel from one level to another, such as through stairs, elevators, and escalators.
Fig.108 Horizontal Circulation
Types' Spaces for Circulation:
Fig.109 Types's Spaces Circulation Sketch.
The two types of circulation according to the use in building: 1. PUBLIC CIRCULATION Spaces that are generally utilized and apparent for general society in a structure, similar to the anteroom or chamber. These spaces are frequently greater than the private flow and all the more extravagantly planned. 2. PRIVATE CIRCULATION |These are the space that are not apparent to the general population. They are ordinarily at the rear of a structure for the specialists or staff. The plan of these spaces are not significant seeing as general society isn't permitted to enter these spaces, similar to the staff workplaces or the extra spaces. CHAPTER 5: Design Issues

5.3.2 CIRCULATION Purpose: - Walkways should be close to main roads - Streamlining of employee movement paths to reach the competent rooms, and the places where workers enter their offices are private only to them. - Separation between the different entrances to highly secures and efficient spaces for the building with the distribution of escape and emergency exits by separating the movement of armored cars and securities (banknotes) and between the movement of dealers and any direct means of communication related to the upper floors of the building, by providing a closed place for the parking of armored cars. In the basement and a direct special elevator for transferring securities to the intermediate floor safes between the basement and the ground. - The elements of vertical movement and services must be combined in a single transitional space
Fig.111 Circulation inside banks.
- It is necessary to define the lines of movement in terms of control, whether by security or through administrative officials in the bank to monitor the movement of customers and employees in the bank and follow it through suspended cameras in all corners of the bank. - The vertical extension of the hall for dealing with the public and its overlap with the office spaces of the mezzanine floor and the general administration required for this hall. - Roads to counters or easy cashiers can be easy and front without obstructing traffic.

5.4.0 IDENTITY AND DESIGN 5.1. IDENTITY General Definition: An individual, a position, or a thing is defined by certain characteristics and traits.
Architectural definition: Identity refers to the state of being one of a kind, distinct from others, and possessing distinguishing characteristics.
Project Examples: However, the design's organizational and architectural virtues aren't the only things that make it a winner. Despite the high-density surroundings and the scale of the house, residents can enjoy bright rooms and an unobstructed view of the region. It is also beneficial to the city. The building's construction and recognizable functions help to break up the city's huge skyline. The building's silhouette would be a city eye-catcher as well. Identity by density transforms the field of tension between identity and density into a fruitful co-existence.
Conclusion:
Fig.114 The building's silhouetter Skyscraper
Use of Unique elements will allow the building to relate by the Egyptian Identity according to its seven pillars of Egyptian Architectural Identity.
5.2. DESIGN General Definition: Before a building, garment, or other item is made, a plan or drawing is created to demonstrate the look, purpose, or workings of the building, garment, or other object.
Architectural definition: Is the process of constructing a structure that you can step up to, under or around. It's possible that architecture will have the same effect as evoking feelings of safety and comfort. The elegance, look, and manner of style are all factors in the external design of the headquarters, which may be divided into two categories:
CHAPTER 5: Design Issues
Bank Headquarter in NAC
5.4.1 IDENTITY AND DESIGN - The Traditional direction: It is the closed block design, the entire facade is clad with marble and granite, giving a sense of strength and confidence, in addition to making iron grilles.
- Modern direction: It depends on the plastic competition with the showrooms and shops surrounding the bank, and the facades are fully opened with glass walls.
Conclusion: Fig.115 Alahli Egyptian Bank
Applying a structure to react with the environment and fits the context.
5.5.0 HUMAN COMFORT General Definition: It is the state of being protected from hazards and accidents to safe and healthy environment.

5.5.2 HUMAN COMFORT 6.3. VENTILLATION General Definition: Is the way toward providing outside air to an encased space to revive/eliminate/supplant the current environment
Architectural Definition: Shown for structures in climatic zones with higher temperatures, the framework permits steady changes of the air inside the structure, restoring it and still, significantly decreasing the inward temperature. Controlling the air without moisture or heat is what industrial ventilation entails, and the design of the tubes through which the ventilation air travels must be taken into account. When it comes to natural ventilation, the first factor to consider is the building's shape and orientation. Fig. 122 Heating Diagram.
Project Example:

BUILDING MASSING:
Fig. 153 Futian Tower Shot.
The goal of this design was to maximise panoramic views of the Min River while also screening the roadway on the east side of the property and establishing a park on the west side by linking the site to the nearby canal. The eventual solution was to divide the required services among three blocks: two interlinked office towers, and a lower block housing the amenities for the primary auxiliary areas. The outcome is three volumes that define the project on the city's skyline, as well as the horizontally dispersed banking hall spaces at the tower's base. The design has evolved in response to its surroundings, with new paths and links pervading the surrounding areas, optimizing interconnectedness and providing a strong feeling of place.
Fig. 154 Infograph shows the building's zoning and its percentage (By Author).
Fig. 155 Form and Zoning of the building (By Author).
By increasing the building's breadth and extending the tower to its maximum permissible height of 100 metres, the circular shape is converted to a rectangular form to enhance views across the river. CHAPTER 6: Case Studies
Bank Headquarter in NAC
6.2.2 Futian Tower, China Staking of the program: There are three elements to the structure: two interlinked towers and one building that houses all of the utilities. Because they require less sunshine and more seclusion, the offices have been orientated to the south, facing the river, while the auxiliary spaces have been shifted to the north. The VIP banking and CMB offices have been gathered together at the top of the building to maximize views, while the banking hall has been extended horizontally over the podium to maximize frontage and Fig. 156 accessibility.
Zoning of the Building's Program ( By Author).
Cores: Vertical circulations and supporting areas have been placed to the sides of the structures to maximise the floorplane efficiency of the office skyscraper. This technique allows for large column-free rooms with plenty of natural light and river vistas.
Sustainability:
Fig. 157 Cores of the Buildings and its location (By Author).
The east and west facades have cores that shelter the structure from solar heat gain and act as a noise barrier from the roadway. In addition, the tower's top is gently tapered to create self-shading.
Fig. 158 Sustainability Teechniques used in the project (By Author).
Facade: The mix of opaque natural stone and a transparent facade with louvres to reduce solar heat gain will result in a dynamic building with reduced energy use.

Introduction This Chapter explains the meaning and main pillars of sustainability and how it affects the architectural design.
CHAPTER 8: Sustainability
Bank Headquarter in NAC
8.0.0 MEANING OF SUSTAINABILITY DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABILITY: According to the UN World Commission on Environment and Development, the definition of Sustainability means "meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of next generations to meet their own needs". Another definition by UCLA Sustainability Committee is defined as: the integration of environmental health, social equity, and economic vitality to create thriving, healthy, diverse and resilient communities for this generation and generations to come. The practice of sustainability recognizes how these issues are interconnected and require a systems approach and an acknowledgment of complexity. Sustainable practices reinforce ecological, human, and economic wellbeing and vitality. Sustainability presumes that assets are limited, and should be utilized conservatively and carefully with a view to long-term needs and consequences of how assets are utilized. In addition to natural assets, we need social and economic assets as well. Sustainability is not just environmentalism. Inserted in most explanations of sustainability we further discover concerns for social equity and economic development.
8.1.0 HISTORY OF SUSTAINABILITY 1713
Coined in German, the original Team was Nachhaltigket, meaning "sustained yeild" was used to mean never harvesting more than the forest can regenerate.
MID 1800s
The translated term appeared in English begining in the mid 19th century
1980
1987
2000
PRESENT
The word susUN definition is Sustainable develtainability began formed "sustainaopment has three to be used more ble development" goals; economic in terms of how meets the needs of development, humans live on the present without social development the planet. compromising the and environmental ability of future development. generations to meet their own needs. Fig.213 Historical Timeline of Sustainability
For something to be sustainable by today's most common definition, it must be balance how it meets human needs without degrading the natural environment.
The concept of sustainability has its origin in all cultures. An example in South America a lake called Manchau gagog changau gagog chaugo gagog amaug, with the meaning of: "We fish on our side, you fish on your side and nobody fishes in the middle." (Schreiber, 2004). this is apparently a simple statement for the sustainable use of resources. Another example related to rural cultures includes a serious understanding of the concept of sustainability which was initially coined in forestry, where it implies never harvesting more than what the forest yields in new growth. The German term for sustainability which is the word Nachhaltigkeit was first described with this meaning in 1713. Although some would argue that sustainability as an idea is purely new, this is inaccurate. Sustainability as a movement can be found established in social justice, conservationism, internationalism and many more all along the history. At the end of the 20th century, ideas and thoughts that brings sustainability into light began to merge and form what is called"sustainable development." In 1983, the United Nation hired Gro Harlem Brundtland to run the new World Commission on Environment and Development. After many years of hard work to raise the standards of living through industrialization, lots of countries were still dealing with poverty. It was clear that economic development at the expense of ecological health and social equity did not lead to long-lasting prosperity. It was obvious that the world needed to discover a way to harmonize both ecology with prosperity. After four years, in 1987 the final report was released by Brundtland Commission with the title of "Our Common Future". The Commission effectively bound together environmentalism with social and economic concerns on the world's improvement agenda. Sustainability is a holistic approach that deals with ecological, social, and economic dimensions, recognizing that all must be considered together to discover enduring prosperity. CHAPTER 8: Sustainability

8.2.0 THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY THE THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY: The three main sustainable development problems are economic growth, social equality, and environmental protection. Therefore, three powerful pillars were established to define these serious issues and they are the economic pillar, environmental pillar, and social pillar. If any of them is unstable and weak the whole system becomes unsuitable. So, to achieve a sustainable system, the three pillars should achieve sustainability at an equal level.
Fig.214 Overlapping of three Sustainable pillars
Environmental Pillar: Environmental sustainability tents to enhance human wellbeing through the conversation of natural assets (e.g., land, air, water, minerals, etc.). Initiatives and programs are characterized as ecologically sustainable when they guarantee that the demands of the population now are met without risking the needs of the coming generations. Environmental sustainability places emphasis on how trades can accomplish positive economic results without causing any harm or damage to the environment not in the short or long term. Business the seeks to achieve sustainability integrates all three sustainability pillars, and to reach this goal each pillar should be treated equally.
Economic Pillar: Economic sustainability focuses on preserving the capital intact. If social sustainability aims to improve social equality, economic sustainability focuses on improving the standard of living. In the context of business, it points out the proficient utilize of resources to preserve company profitability over time. According to the UK Government (Yearly Report 2000, January 2001): Sustaining a higher growing economy is one of the crucial objectives of the sustainable development and ignoring this can lead to failure. Keeping in mind that the quality along with the quantity of this growth matters equally.
CHAPTER 8: Sustainability
Bank Headquarter in NAC
8.2.1 THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY Social Pillar: Social sustainability focuses on preserving the social rights of the people in the community by offering them services and opportunities. This means that social sustainability as a concept perceives society, cultural backgrounds, and globalization in its view of the world. This will lead to preserving the rights of the next generations by emphasizing our current actions and pointing out the impact these actions have on the world and in the future. The concept of social sustainability focuses on enhancing social quality by addressing concepts such as cohesion, reciprocity, and honesty within people's interactions and relationships. This can be upheld by-laws, awareness campaigns, and general brainstorming sessions that would discuss fairness, equality, and rights.
8.3.0 SUSTAINABILITY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Sustainability has added a new form to architecture practice nowadays. Sustainability in Architecture has a very wide impact on environment and society. Development of sustainability in Architecture could be reached by design methods, materials, energy and development spaces to suite the surrounding ecosystem or communities. According to UNESCO and International Union of Architects (UIA), architecture contains a ways and methods to build a humane environment by planning, designing, making, using, furnishing, landscaping and maintaining. According to Brundtland Report (1987), "the concept of sustainability development is to meet the need of the present without comprising the ability of future generations to meet their own need". According to K.Charles, the main principles to a sustainable construction: -
Use Less energy. Less cost to operate and maintain. Use natural resources. Create places for people to improve health and productivity.
Increasing the use of energy worldwide causes many difficulties and problems, as; exhaustion of energy resources and heavy environmental aspects as: ozone depletion, global warming and climatic change. The global contribution from constructed buildings toward consumption of energy has been increased by 20% to 40% in developed countries. Most of this energy is consumed in lighting, heating, cooling and air conditioning. Sustainable Construction has many advantages throughout the environment, society and economy. As for the environment, through saving water, energy and other resources, use of reusable, natural and local materials, reducing pollutant emissions, increasing life cycle waste and increasing building durability. For society; improving users health and comfort through indoor air quality and acoustics comfort. For economy; it has benefits in the long term of life.

8.3.1 SUSTAINABILITY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Economic: It is important for owners/occupant to safe energy, water and maintenance costs.
Environmental/ Social: - Reduced local air pollution: Location of the building impact on the transportations needs and the distances travel. When it is near so the need can be reduced, then population can also be reduced. - Less waste from the landfills, so it is better to use local building materials. - Reduced global building footprint to reduce need of energy, water and materials, so the emission of CO2. - Better indoor environment: by better lighting conditions and thermal comfort.
Technology/features and sustainable categories: Technologies that improve building performance and reduce its negative impact on the environment in order to make building that highly respond the particular environment. Sustainable Site Location: should be near the public transportation at least by mile to improve the environment and reduce its pollution. Site Orientation: Provide opportunities for passive solar heating, solar heat gain during cold time, natural ventilation and daylighting, Building Insulation: Using double skin roof and insulation on walls which reduce energy costs for heating or cooling.

8.4.0 FUTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY Meaning of sustainability is different for people according to its development of not being harm to the environment. According to the definition of sustainability, it is not defined what is the sustainability looks like. The problem is unawareness of people of sustainability and its importance for the society and people. Only architects and designers have a well understanding of the benefits of sustainability and its effect on society and human being and it is the only way to make a better future. As they also believe that this trend will continuing in development. Buildings' durability is the most important factor for a better environment. To move through the sustainability in future, here are some steps to increase the performance and awareness of its importance:
Eliminate the need for replacement: the best thing to do as designers to make a product that couldn't harm the society, has a long-term life cycle, has a high performance and high durability.
Reduce, reuse and recycle: Creating sustainable goods by reducing wastes remaining from manufacture of materials. For example, in the industry of flooring materials, many remains excess and result in waste. These remains and chemicals leftovers could be reused as an energy and heat source by post manufacturing.
Embrace Transparency: designers nowadays use materials and resources which are the most sufficient not only what they know by doing more researches and more knowledge from the third parties. They realized that the best product may not they usually use.

Sustainability: To obtain economic sustainability in the project during the construction phase ,using the careful planning for the site , building design and using renewable energy in building which reduces the building coast.
Pavegen tiles: Walking over the pavegen tile , renewable energy is generated from the pressure of the footsteps, and this pressure generates kinetic energy which is converted into electricity through pavegen technology. Pavegen tiles could be used in outdoor spaces ( pedestrians and in site vehicular streets ) to power the outdoor lighting . it could also be used in indoor spaces to sustain energy inside the building.
Aqua-cell Grey water system: Due to the current water crisis in Egypt, one of the solutions to preserve water is the aqua cell grey water system (categorizes the used water into black water (Solid wastes from toilets) and grey water (from basins, showers and clothes machines), where black water is non reusable while grey water can be treated and re-used.

Modern Mashrabyia: It's a wooden shade feature from the Islamic architectural era that's been updated for the twenty-first century. It's so adaptable that it may be built in a variety of patterns to fit the project's theme.
Smart Glass: Eco switchable glass that controls privacy by turning the transparent glass to opaque by one touch; it also helps in making the building lighter because glass is weightless so it helps in creating a sustainable building.
Solar cells Using the California Academy of Sciences as an example, A solar canopy around the circumference of the Living Roof comprises 0,000 photovoltaic cells that provide about ,000 kWh of clean energy per year (at least 5% of the Academy's normal energy consumption) while also preventing the discharge of more than 405,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year. Throughout the structure, we also harvest energy in a variety of smaller ways. Sensor faucets in bathrooms, for example, charge themselves with each use (flowing water triggers an internal turbine to create electricity and charge the battery pack), while heat recovery systems catch and utilize heat produced by HVAC equipment, decreasing heating energy use.

Perforated kinetic facade is a type of perforated metal plate used as a shading device and as a decorative facade, with a distinct ornamental impact than standard metal facade. It's kinetic, and it automatically opens and closes. Buildings that are decorated with it may give you with not only a pleasing aesthetic experience, but also a relaxing atmosphere. They might be utilized as decorations, shading, or as part of the shade and shadow play in the project. Natural Systems Nature and ecosystem services are needed to not only support life, but also to improve it. Ecosystems preserve and even repair natural systems, resulting in increased ecosystem services and environmentally resilient populations.
