CONSTRUCTION APPLICATIONS
Gabion Walls
• Its purpose is to surround the site from the borders to act as a sustainable shield that will protect the building from surrounding railway harm.
Gabion wall is designed from recycled stone cages and rocks that can prevent pollution, noise coming from nearby railway to enter the site.
• In foundation (rubber bands)installed to prevent vibrations in gabion wall.
Construction considerations
Gabion wall is designed to be placed surrounding the site to protect the building from the nearby railway, which can cause pollution, noise and vibration.
Windows placed between gabions to allow daylight and sun to enter the site.
Steel frames and concrete columns to be placed behind gabion wall to support structure.
Pollution
Gabion rocks will prevent noise from passing through, plants on facade to filter the air pollution coming from railway.

1. Steel frame structure to support gabion back.
2. Straw insulator covered with 2 layers CLT.
3.Gabion walls (recycled steel cages and rocks).
4. Facade plants to collect dust.
5. Double glazed 45 degree window.
6. Louvred window to protect from rainfall.
7. Concrete column (structure engineer to determine spacing between columns).
8. Roof story supported with steel rails (900mm height), contractor to ensure safety strategy for falling from heights risk.

GENERAL HOSPITAL PROJECT
This area (Cairo, Egypt) lack health care facilities, in which the existed buildings were either too old or does not have the proper services and required departments.
Form inspired by human body, heart is the core of the building, the arteries which is connected to the heart provide body parts with blood, considered as the hospital departments and wings. (Movement of blood represents circulation inside hospital).
Concrete construction is a good way to improve the function, value and whole life performance of the facility. Using RC columns dimensions between each is 12m maximum.
Waffle slab to support column with loads, and Hospital ceiling services can be managed through waffles spaces.
