01 COURTYARD HOUSING DIVERSITY OF A MODEL
The project is located in the periphery of the Maadi petrified forest in New Cairo, surrounded from one side with social and private housing and with the German University in Cairo, while on the other side a vast deserted area of the forest. The aim of the project is to integrate a coherent housing area that suits all diversities; workers, students, families whilst keeping regard to the privacy situation, the view of the forest and the public spaces. The strip is a complete urban space with building plots, traffic system, public spaces, intended uses, intended variation in densities and building heights. Access, parking lots, underground parking, and different courtyard typologies are included. Creating conditions for freedom is the main target of the building plot. Since the plot is on an inclined terrain, the project was planned accordingly. The highest apartment buildings were on the highest point whilst the smallest twin houses were on the lowest point. The concept of the design came from the basic form of a cube. The form is easily manipulated by addition and subtraction of several cubes together.

The plot has 4 different heights. The highest part +6.00m which is the main street level accommodates the 3-floor apartment buildings. The next level is +4.5m accommodates the 2-floor apartment buildings while the last two levels (+3.00m and +0.00m) accommodate the twin houses. The apartment buildings have an internal courtyard and terraces on each floor while the twin houses have their own private courtyard with external public spaces to have social gatherings.

02 MIGRATIONS
HYBRID UNIVERSITY OF CASCAIS
“Refugees don’t want to come to Portugal!” Even though Portugal was waiting for thousands to flee the country, refugees do not feel welcomed there and so they prefer to migrate to other countries. A Migration University in the small city of Cascais will benefit both the country and the immigrants by the ‘Pull’ force. As the countries push the people away, this project will be a pull force that attracts them to Cascais. Integration between immigrants and citizens will create an international platform of knowledge and both parties will be benefiting from this action. This university will not only impact the students’ lives, it will have an impact on their families through nourishing and re-activating Cascais thus job opportunities, housing, religious, sports facilities and good transportation networks will be available. The pier of the marina in Cascais, Portugal is the main campus’s site as it will be receiving students by the ferry coming from nearby cities or by land using bike lanes and improved networks. The project’s main campus site will accommodate +500 international students and will be flexible for further extensions. Additional sites will be used for parks and parking to ensure the completion and full servicing of the university.

03 CAIRO GOES GREEN AN URBAN NARRATIVE
“The dynamic state of landscape reforms according to the varying necessities of human needs and their power of controlling.” Considering how Cairo transforms throughout different periods, the project tackles how this adaptation could aid in preserving a better future for Cairo.
6th of October Bridge The bridge was completed in 1996. It runs from the Agricultural Museum in Dokki east to the Autostrad in Nasr City. It has 23 inlet and outlet ramps throughout it and has been declared as a national infrastructure project due to its important location in the city. In the recent years, Cairo has been experiencing bad traffic congestions and the bridge was part of the affected areas. The project is an urban narrative that imagines a futuristic catastrophe; Cairo Traffic Collapsing. On the 20th of January in 2026, the traffic lasted ten consecutive days on the bridge till a Governmental call was announced: Transforming 6th of October Bridge into a sustainable elevated park. Cairo’s major issues can be solved using the most powerful factor of the city, The People. People are the driving force of the project since they are the most resilient element. The vision is to create a prominent green spine that adds a new identity to the city, inspiring to reach a sustainable Egypt whilst attracting diverse communities throughout Cairo. The project’s motto is “FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE.” The project passes through three phases which are awareness, education and implementation.

04 LOST TALES FROM PROMISED FUTURES VISUAL DESIGN UTOPIA The lost tale of a utopic life is a faction of imagination yet it is inspired from the world we currently live in. The tale explains an imaginary city where they know none beyond it. It is composed of three factions of people; SPEAKERS, OBSERVERS and WORKERS. Even though SEGREGATION exists through the living conditions of each faction, yet the citizens are manipulated and perceive their lifestyle as normal and healthy due to their negligence of another world.
THE CITY There are three typologies of residential buildings. The city has a clear border to contain the city. The first residential typology is the observer’s towers; structured to serve its function of watching. They exist as radial bands surrounding all city spaces. It is also the responsible structure that protects the city borders. Workers are viewed as the inferior class. They live in the ephemeral near the city borders in underground cave-like spaces that are connected with a network of tunnels. The entrance to the stairs that leads to the circulation tunnels is situated as holes in the public garden. The elite class who live in the symmetric stand-alone villas, try to stress on their superiority and political power over others. They also live near the parliament of the city center. The parliament is in the city center banded by the vaulted working office space. Between the office building and the parliament, exists the main public events and gathering area.
THE PARLIAMENT The design of the parliament is intended to induce a feeling of agoraphobia to any visitor. The parliament hosts all events and official meetings. It is the landmark of the city.
THE TEST At a mature age, all the citizens in the city are obligated to enter the sorting test. Each individual is categorized in a certain faction according to his decisions and actions that he performs during the test. All individuals enter through the vaulted arches of the office building band in a queue. They get stamped with bar-codes that identify them individually in the city documents. 39

05 NEW GOURNA VILLAGE REVIVING NEW GOURNA, LUXOR
GREEN BELT STRATEGY After studies and interviews about Luxor, we concluded that the major problems and issues are lack of tourism and unemployment. The vision for greater Luxor is to create a green belt through the most important aspect in Luxor which is its heritage, the main monuments, museums, temples, etc. The concept of the green belt is to encourage tourism and job opportunities and enhance the economy of Egypt as a whole by creating diverse elements such as markets, public spaces, wetlands, cultural hubs, bike lanes and green walkable areas throughout this green belt
NEW GOURNA VILLAGE New Gourna village was designed and built by the Egyptian Architect Hassan Fathy between 1946 and 1952 to shelter the community of Old Gourna. It is located on the West Bank of the Nile River, within the world heritage property of ancient Thebes in Egypt. The village is strategically located on the main road for tourists leading to the ferry and the Valley of the Kings, the Colossus of Memnon and Madinet Habu Temple. The UNESCO highlighted a conservation area within the core of the village which includes the maximum concentration of the remaining buildings built by Hassan Fathy.

CASE STUDY: Al-MARIS VILLAGE Al Maris is an agricultural village at the western side of the Nile River. According to statistics of 2006, its population was 21,385, 75% of its residents work there in trading and agriculture. Al Maris suffers from various problems; lack of sewage system and its canals suffer from severe pollution causing Hepatitis C and liver failure that is common. Usual transportation in the village and to Luxor is through microbuses.

WATER CYCLE Since there is no sewage system, an incomplete cycle follows. The proposed solution would be that the Grey water, as well as the black water, be separated. Black water can be transformed to fertilizers through the system of dry compost while grey water can be treated through the constructed wetlands with different types of plants such as Bamboo and Papyrus.

ORIGINAL MASTER PLAN Hassan Fathy’s original master plan was based on 3 axes as shown, the main thoroughfare (green) passes through the main entrance of the village which is the market leading to the main public square that hosts the mosque, khan, theatre, village hall and crafts exhibition, leading north-west to the park and artificial lake. The main thoroughfare subdivides from the center into two routes. The axis divides the village into 4 main quarters dedicated for each tribe.

NEW GOURNA HOSTEL The project’s aim is to provide a hostel to encourage researchers, architects and tourists to come stay in New Gourna to promote for sustainable architecture through using appropriate materials (mud-bricks with a concrete structure) and zoning. The hostel’s form is restored from Hassan Fathy’s lost work of the original master plan that was not realized. It is a complementary function that serves the architectural center and is raised on pillars to avoid ruining the agricultural fields.

06 STILL ALICE STAGE DESIGN
https://vimeo.com/234207584 The stage design project is based on Lisa Genova’s novel which depicts the life of Alice; a university professor who finds herself dragged into early- onset Alzheimer’s disease. The performance describes the Alzheimer’s disease stages that Alice went through; starting with the EMERGENCE of the disease where the spaces are still static and familiar, her feeling of serenity is still present. Followed by the LOST state where Alice starts to see things around her differently. She’s surrounded by illusions and anxiety as she becomes discomforted. Then reaching the REFLECTION phase where the spaces around her keep shifting. In this phase, Alice starts to realize what the disease is doing to her mind and starts to be forgetful and helpless. TRAPPED state is where the spaces feel really small and suffocating to her as she is defeated by Alzheimer’s. Then comes the last state OBLIVION where Alice surrenders to Alzheimer’s. Everything becomes blurry and she loses the frustration; the abyss of mind is reached. The spaces are representing her feelings of the disease. By using the set and a static character, a statement was made; by transferring the feelings into dynamic spaces that revolves around her, we get to see how the disease spreads from unnoticed signs till reaching the oblivion state of mind.
