OMAR HASHEM - FRESH GRADUATE

German

HELLO!

I’m Omar, a recent GUC Architecture graduate , I strongly believe that both the urban context and the users’s needs should be the main driving forces behind every design , regardless of architectural style . With this philosophy, I am excited to showcase my academic portfolio, featuring diverse works ranging from low-tech desert buildings to high-tech futuristic structures.

In Collaboration

with: Mountain Camp Siwa, Egypt 2024 | 10th semester Mai Mahmoud Kenzy Mohamed Rahma Fawzy

High atop the revered Dakrour Mountain in Siwa , a new architectural landmark is poised to emerge – Ighri n’Ifran, meaning “Cave of the Stars” in Amazigh. This project isn’t just for stargazing ; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the Amazigh heritage that thrives in the heart of Siwa.

Cave of the Stars honors this legacy by creating a space for locals to stay during the 3-night holiday , as well as be used by tourists throughout the rest of the year as a resting/camping space after hiking up the mountain.

1) Placing the project in a central Position between the 2 peaks

2) Defining the axis according to the geometry of the contours

3) Amazigh star sign placed to be the main gathering space, symbolizing unity & guidance

4) Defining the borders

5) Creating the four main masses to House the 4 main spaces

6) Altering the geometries to follow the entrance from the cracks

The building form draws inspiration from the symbiotic relationship between sharks and remora fish , embodying the harmony of aquatic life. 1.

The design hierarchy and zoning are influenced by this dynamic interaction, creating a fluid, zigzag form that echoes the natural movement and grace of these marine creatures.

Rising from the heart of Hurghada, this iconic aquarium , perched atop a scenic hill, will become a landmark destination for both visitors and locals , by immersing visitors in the wonders of the Red Sea, as well as hosting outdoor bazaars and community events prepared by locals, creating a vibrant social hub for the city.

Prof. Hisham Gabr

Situated in Knowledge City , in the New Adminstrative Capital , EVO-BUILD is a research institute meant to innovate and experiment with new adaptive & kinetic technologies in building design, bridge the gap between academia and the construction trades through a labor training center , and educate the public about the potential of kinetic architecture through permanent and seasonal exhibitions. I suggest a grid-like building that is modular, modifiable, scalable, and open-ended to allow for adaptability in the short-term and metabolic growth in the long-term.

1) Suggested Footprint

2) Create Courtyard for Outdoor Exhibition

3) Shift using 2x2 & 3x3 modules to highlight entrances

4) Identify main cores & flatten the rest

5) Detachable structure added for kinetic modules 6) Kinetic modules added

The project’s site lies inside The Knowledge City, which is a pioneering project in building Digital Egypt, the project will be able to make use of and integrate with the surrounding innovative environment. Collaboration with professionals in the digital and technological industries will be facilitated
