AN ALTRERNATIVE FOR THE CONCEPTUAL URBAN DESIGN OF THE DORM CITY
Conceptual urban and landscape design : the residential units were mostly in double load distribution , which would need studies of the minimum distance between each pair of units facing one another for privacy , ventilation and natural light
Zoning of the different landuses for the new dormitory city of El Beouth , based on the given program of capacity and number of users , the residential zones were distributed in the peripheral areas , leaving the core for the services
A project done by an interdisciplinary team members from different cultures in a workshop took place in Berlin , Germany . The project’s area ,located in Kreuzberg quarter ,is in the area that was mostly destroyed in the world war 2 , and as the context were an attraction for immigrants , the place became home of mixed cultures .

Team : Alexandra Hrsn , Hadeer Hawash , Heba Hatem , Ragia Ragi
GREEN TREASUR BOX After several city walks in the IBA old district and IBA new , and the cognition of Berlin’s history before and after war , a design for a block was demanded to express how we could visualize the future of Kreuzberg district . The block was divided into land properties , and the issue was how to integrate the public open space with the private part of the block , dealing with the private/public spaces , courtyards and mix in uses
Land properties as guidelines for the transitional status of being in a space

This is my Graduation project which was about studying the impact of the Metro third line’s impact on the historical district of Heliopolis , focusing on promoting sustainability in scocioeconomic , Urban and ecological aspects .

The issue of the project was how to deal with the complexity of the current situation in Heliopolis study area, and drawing a scenario to an additional factor for a more complexed state ,which is the Metro third line project, that is considered by many of the district’s residents as an interior body or a stranger to their historical place . Recognizing the metro line as a development corridor to the places it serves is an approach for this project to reconcile between the metro line and Heliopolis’s commercial core , and to bound together the district’s various potentials to integrate with places that are going to be a major hub for transportation and commercial activities , those where the stations are going to be implemented .
Promoting walkability in the commercial corridors that are in the critical spots being in the core of the historical district , and adapting to the new metro line project in the middle of these corridors . So ensuring the safety of the pedestrians as they move along those corridors as they buy from the retail stores and spend some good time in the outdoor coffee shops and restaurants .
