MAISON PROUVÉ -Nancy, France. -Studio Architecture as a product 2014 -2nd semester, Master program. -Supervision: Jasper De Haan, Jelle Feringa
Traditionally, architecture provides design as a service, being far removed from the materialization, far from the act of building. The Architectural robotics provides a means to anew the profession, taking upon a more central role in the building process. Can we think of architecture as a product, rather than the mere service of design? I chose to redesign the house of Jean ProuvĂŠ in Nancy, ProuvĂŠ is a self-taught Architect who is known for transferring manufacturing technology from industry to architecture.

Redesign of a linear house Jean Prouvé decided to build his house in 1954, he bought a steep plot of land where he was only able to design a linear house with all the spaces viewing the southern façade, He built his house in the
course of few weeks and with limited resources, he got the help of family members, friends and some craftsmen, the house prefabricated panels are leftovers from his closed factory in Maxéville.

SEIL DESIGN HOTEL -Marsa Alam, Egypt -Tasmimat (Architects) 2012 - Role: Design development, 3D images. The hotel is inspired by the drainage pattern created by flash floods that flow through the land. (Seil stands for flash floods in arabic). These floods have left an imprint on empty streams, tributaries and rivers that contour the land and create natural pathways for human flow. The directionality of the floods left us with a grid of 45 degrees to the edge of the plot and the vast horizontality of the nature around us inspired a design that
er
ow
Sh

was very rigid in its directionality and strived to keep very visible clear horizontal lines. Strong prevalent north-east wind paired with noise from the generators and chillers of the neighboring hotel led us to take shelter in the hill and build into it as opposed to above it. Rooftops were integrated into the design for a number of the hotel units around the bend in order to catch the sea view.

INTERNATIONAL LAW SCHOOL IN BERLIN -Berlin, Germany. -Studio International law school 2013. -1st semester, Master program. -Supervision: Johannes Kister
The school is located in a block where most of the buildings were destroyed during WWII, now a historical and touristic spot where the wall remains, various museums and exhibitions are located. The school’s program doesn’t only contribute with the diversity of its space uses, but also with a rich experience to the existing urban condition, where the
34
pedestrian experience around the block is a fenced garden on one side and tourist hotels on the other. The blocks of the school form paths that connect the street to the outdoor exhibition where “Topographie des Terrors” building is located, at the same time providing a self-defining spatial constellation of buildings and public space.

UNDERSTANDING GROWTH -Cairo, Egypt. -Master Thesis Project 2015 -DIA (Dessau international school of Architecture) -Supervision: Gunnar Hartmann, Regina Bittner, The change happening to cities today is not dictated by planners, municipalities, architects or even its dwellers. The real-estate market has become the main motor for the change of the city. This has become increasingly obvious in Cairo, where the formal (planned) neighborhoods of the city are being collectively reshaped by micro processes of real-estate investment on the scale of apartment buildings. Nasr city is a neighborhood in Cairo that was planned in the 1950s by Sayed Karim, a Swiss trained Egyptian Architect and
40
planner, inspired by modern concepts of city planning at the time. Nasr city was planned as a grid of main streets 50 m width, dividing it into a number of sectors (districts). It contained many land plots for private development as apartment buildings. Until the 1980s, the culture of extended family dwelling was prevalent within the apartment buildings of Nasr city. The extended family acquired a piece of land and developed a low-rise building to live in its apartments. As a result of the transformations that occurred to the housing market in Nasr city, the extended family dwelling stopped taking form in the built environment, and started recently to disappear within its low-rise buildings. To be demolished and replaced by high-rise buildings driven by investment plans.
Building heights in Nasr city illustrated.

The informal growth of the apartment buildings in Nasr city.

43
1- family dwelling (1959 - 1980s) Low-rise buildings were being built until the 1980s, rising up to a maximum height of 4 stories according to the regulations. While the infrastructure was developed by the publicly owned „Nasr city company“, land parcels were sold privately, mostly for families seeking extended family dwelling as
a prevalent mode of development. Until the 1980s, living in Nasr city was dependent on its connection with the city center, as a constellation of family housing that is lacking services, described by older generations as „the desert“.
2- Investment (1976 - 2000s) High-rise buildings rising up to 16 stories started to be built following the “unified building laws” first issued in 1976. The law allowed apartment buildings to rise up to 36 meters height; raising the value of the land plots as an opportunity for real-estate investment. Consequently, the building processes started to be increasingly driven by investment plans
rather than family dwelling needs, the apartments within the high-rise buildings were sold according to the speculative real-estate market to many separate nuclear families. This transformation of the housing market has collectively changed the family structure within the apartment buildings of Nasr city.
3- Migration and Displacement (2000s - current) Replacement of Low-rise buildings with Highrise buildings started to occur in the last two decades, accompanied by the displacement of extended family modes of dwelling that characterized the demolished buildings, and their replacement with multiple nuclear families within the developed apartments of the high-rise buildings. The case studies detected a rising wave of urban migration of the extended family dwelling patterns towards the recently constructed desert developments on the outskirts of Cairo. 44
Influenced by the extension of the formal city of Cairo, the development of “New Cairo” in 2000 as the most remarkable with its scale and its proximity to Nasr city, extended families are relocating outside the overcrowded Nasr city, where the plots of land that are empty for development have become scarce and over-priced. As a result, more and more low-rise buildings are being demolished and replaced by high-rise buildings, the investment is shared between informal developers and migrating families.
