No Time to lose, Reduce, Recycle, Reuse recycling provides an attractive option since it eliminates some disposal requirements with the additional benefits of reducing pollution, conserving energy, creating jobs and building more competitive manufacturing industries. In addition, through the utilization of a well-designed materials recovery facility and collection system, recycling can be a very economical waste management opportunity specially during the current financial crisis the country is passing through . According to the Deputy Executive Director of the Saudi Environment Society (SES) Majidah Abu Ras “Saudi Arabia is losing annually approximately SR 40 billion for its lack of garbage recycling projects while other countries in the world are making huge profit from such projects,� Furthermore, With population of around 29 million, Saudi Arabia generates more than 15 million tons of solid waste per year. The per capita waste generation is estimated at 1.5 to 1.8 kg per person per day which shows the importance of such projects.
5
The Research Problem • •
To strengthen the recycling concept in Riyadh, more education and awareness campaigns need to take place. People need to get involved and feel like they are making a difference in protecting their environment. In Saudi Arabia, garbage is collected from individual or community bins and disposed of in landfills or dumpsites. Saudi waste management system is characterized by lack of waste disposal facilities and absence of tipping fees. Most of the landfills are expected to reach their capacities within the next 10 years.
Dumping of wastes in deserts is a common sight in the Middle East

Project Description The Project basically is a recycling complex that consists of three main parts. First, it will have a cultural part which contains exhibition halls, lecture halls, and a store. This part is important to raise awareness among the young generations. Also, it has a research part that will consist of research labs and offices. And finally, is the recycling plant. This part will have mainly the factory and the part where the solid waste will be collected and processed.
9
Riyadh city is rapidly growing and developing throughout each year, with this development there are some consequences concerning the environment. For instance, air pollution coming from vehicles and factories also the huge number of solid waste disposed every year by every resident. However, people are getting more eager to learn about ways to protect their surroundings to have a cleaner, healthier and more comfortable city to live in with their families and unfortunately these information aren’t easily found or not interesting enough to motivate them to do something.
Riyadh, KSA

14
What is the scope of the project?
This center will be targeting school kids and college students since they are the next generation as will as the builder of the future.
Also, scientists who are interested in this field of researches will find a place that will adopt their projects.
Finally, workshops will be held for the public to raise awareness about the importance of recycling and different ways of doing it to maintain a more sustainable environment.
The study is not comprehensive of all waste streams but assesses the costs and benefits of recycling some of the more important materials by volume. These are: • paper • plastics • glass • organic waste (kitchen waste and greenwaste)
15
Methodologies
• After studying and analyzing similar case studies I will decide on the program of the project and figure out the different components the project consists of. • Also I will go through different articles regarding the importance of recycling here in Saudi Arabia and the different consequences for the lack of similar projects to form a stronger case and help raise more awareness. • I will visit the site to know the typography of it which will help me to design the building later. • Moreover, I’m going to collect data from the government to find the exact numbers of solid waste that needs to be recycled in order to help the environment and with the financial crisis.
16
Challenges
• Find ways to reduce the pollution the factory part might cause, since it will be located in the city. • Convince people with the importance of the proposed ideas. • Make the building design attractive but as will apply to the different requirements to make it environment friendly and functional at the same time.

Concept and Design Objective the design focuses on energy efficiency. Renewable and recycled materials are incorporated throughout the facility. A green roof and open plaza, which serves as a connection to nearby buildings, will be landscaped with draught resistant and native plants.
Form & Style of the Building The Building has a simple and basic cuboid Form with straight line from all sides, but what makes it interesting is the Faรงade treatment (irregular window openings in the upper floors and Curtain wall in the ground)
24
Facilities Distribution Chu Hall has three architectural components, each situated on one of the building’s three levels.
Level 1 is the subsurface “Plinth”, which takes up more than 50 percent of the overall square footage and designed to be an ultralow vibration space to house laboratories sensitive to light and vibration. Level 2, located on the ground level, is the “Breezeway.” Designed to foster interdisciplinary interaction, it is the location for the main door and entrance lobby, shared office space for principal investigators, cubicles for Theory researchers and small and large conference rooms. Level 3 is the “Corona,” a simple rectangular form that houses wet lab spaces as well as research to develop technology needed to assemble nanoscale components into active systems.

PUBLIC ZONE
Educational Lobby/Exhibition Gallery 2,000 sq ft
Public Recycling Dropoff/Loading Dock 500 sq ft
The exhibition gallery should be designed as a flexible, columnfree space that can be divided into smaller galleries as needed. A minimum clear interior vertical dimension of 12-15 feet should be maintained throughout the space. The gallery should allow for the display and installation of non-traditional art and exhibits.
A drop-off area for simple recyclables such as: papers, plastic, glass, aluminum, electronics (computers, televisions, cell phones), paint, and batteries.
29
PUBLIC ZONE
Public Recycling Pre-sorted Drop-off Exterior
An exterior drop-off for large and chemical recyclables from the residential public such as: construction waste (copper, metal, dry wall, steel, wood, concrete, brick, block, marble), motor oils, pesticides, and tires.
Reuse/Collection Center 1,000 sq ft
Restroom (2 at 500 sq ft) 1,000 sq ft
A collection area for clothing and household goods. The Recycling Center will have regularly scheduled pick-ups of these clothing and household goods from local charity groups such as Goodwill and Salvation Army. This will provide the public with one simple destination to drop-off all recyclable items.
30
NON-PUBLIC ZONE
Loading Dock (4 truck minimum) 4 ,000 sq ft
Commercial recycling haulers dump incoming materials onto a tipping floor, which also serves as a preprocessing storage area. Materials are then moved to conveyors for sorting.
Private Recycling Presorted Drop-off Exterior
This drop-off area is similar to the public recycling presorted drop-off area, but equipped for dump truck size deposits.
Sorting Area 20,000 sq ft
This area will be the heart of the recycling center where most goods will be sorted, cleaned, and categorized for re-use. Materials are first sorted manually along conveyors to remove bulky items and plastic bags before feeding into a mechanical sorter.
Processing Area 30,000 sq ft
Once recyclables are sorted they are stored in large containers until enough material is accumulated to bale. Materials are then fed into balers. Bales are compacted and bound cubes of recycled materials that reduce the volume of recycled goods and facilitate transportation.

Adequate lighting should be provided. Good lighting is less fatiguing for staff and also makes tasks easier to perform (eg better waste segregation, faster blockage clearance meaning less plant downtime etc).
Floor materials should be suitable and fit for purpose. In MRFs, they should be sufficiently durable given the work carried out, and minimize the slip/trip risks. It should also be remembered that open steel grid work is not always the preferred option since it can make the consequences of any fall more severe. Anti-fatigue flooring materials should be considered where a substantial part of the work is done standing.
A ‘reasonable’ working temperature should be provided at workstations. Where the work involves physical effort then the temperature should be at least 13 degrees Celsius and at least 16 degrees Celsius otherwise.
Consider the quality and location of toilet and washing facilities. They should also be designed to be easily cleaned because of the amount of waste, dust and other residues that will be deposited.
Provide adequate education and training to ensure workers understand the importance of hygiene and use the facilities that are available.
Good personal hygiene is vital for waste and recycling workers to prevent infections and other ill health that may be caused by working with waste. The quality of the washing facilities should reflect this need and be of a high standard. 41

Design Concept My idea revolves around how Factory machines have a smooth process from one part to another with clear, defined & different function for each part. this idea in accordance with the sun orientation and wind direction led to the buildings distribution and forms in my design. Moreover, the use of the sharp edges and acute angles in the buildings shapes’ was inspired from the machines, and to reflect the complicated recycling process yet give the project an industrial touch.
