Site Analysis Conducted for: Opera Square
Program Description
Experiential and conceptual story of intervention
Transition Activities Moodboard
Experiential Model Ventilation of Opera Square Area
The site analysis and research provided invaluable information including the main reason for the transformation of site from Cultural to Commercial through the removal of the main significant nodes of the site, changed the site’s users and activity, which in turn affected all aspects including the architecture of the site.

Space Frame
This project was focused on the use of structure and customizing spaces according to the experience we wish the user to pass through and the feelings we wish to invoke: Reason for usage: V Columns for larger spans and higher support as well as experiencing the magnitude of the spatial area. Space Frame to give feeling of magnitude making user feel small within area.

04 The Nox
The Nox This project was focused more on having a physical limited space with the need to furnish it with a seating capacity above 70 people and at the same time portray the sense of a youthful, fun and energetic restaurant yet while remaining classy and emitting the sense of luxury. Hence this project allowed me to expand on my use of materials, furntiure selection, and space allocation. Portfolio

06 Resilience Hub
Resilience Hub This project was about understanding the narrative of what Egypt would go through in 2050 in terms of climate change and how to create a resilience hub that would allow its users to counter it. My center focused on targeting the water scarcity in Egypt by that time by researching and developing water collection methods and incorporating sustainable architectural practices in my building to make it as much as possible a passive building. In addition to ensuring the design was connected with the physical and cultural connection of the site and anticipating the cost of the project, producing heat maps of the activities used day vs night. In addition to analyzing the design sustainability and how to improve it further. Portfolio
