01 | BETWEEN NO LONGER AND NOT YET | URBAN-RURAL RESET OF AL HARANYAH
LIMITING AQUA-EDGES Al Haranyah, Giza
Al Haranyah, one of many agricultural lands that is threatened to disappear and replaced by massive densities of informal housing. The project aims to slow down the informal urban growth while meeting the demands of the communities. The strategy of the project based on that urbanization occurs around infrastructure while farming occurs around bodies of water. The exisiting canals are developed and refered to as Aquastructures. They act as the edges for the positioning of linear buffer nodes. These generate opposing forces to use and safeguard the central agricultural land, while accommodating new urban expansions.

THE INSPECTED 100+1 | THE END AND START OF SUPERSTITIOUS URBANISM Mumbai, India
Mumbai, a city that is not only affected by the Monsoon flood every year, but also suffering from the icreasing number of informal settelment. Monsoon flood, the spiritual and substantial 1 that turns the 100 into the indivisible start of the new synthesized and acclaimed city. The aim is to meet the resulting village paralysis with a flood-adapting valve that regresses and floats with the ebb and tide of the sea.

03 | RASHID:REVIVING THE LOST CITY
REVIVING RAKHET:PROLIFERATING TRADE | THE EDUCATIONAL MARKET Burj Rashid, Egypt
Rashid, is a port city of the Nile Delta. Burj Rashid, the focus area, is a peri-urban district of the city situated further to the North and closer to the Mediterranean. Rakhet, the historical name of the city which means market. The project aims to revive the area‘s ancient character with a socio-economic activity as a network of a multi-profession market place. Connected nodes were introduced using the natural elements of the site; the Nile, agricultural lands and its significant palms.

04 | AL FUSTAT VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTER Al Fustat, Old Cairo Al Fustat, is an area known for its art and traditional handicrafts as it was once the captial of cairo under the Muslim rule. Hence its chosing as the site for a vocational training center aiming to teach crafts ranging from carpentry, metalworking and smithing to pottery and tailoring. The site topograpphy played an important rule in the formation of the building as its masses would rise from and fall to the ground. The inclined spaces emphasize the concept and are occupied by functions holding certain importance within the vocational center.

05 | PRENZLAUER BERG STUDENT HOUSING SUPERBLOCK Berlin, Germany
The student housing located in Prenzaluer Berg, needed to accommodate student in need for small functional spaces to live in and create a community within. The concrete mass and its voids allows for the creation of contrasting effects between the concept of ‘Raumplan’ and ‘Plattenbau’. The voids allow shared areas with common activities and establish a balance between the common areas and the need for privacy, creating dynamic spaces.
Group work of 3 supervised by : Dipl. -Ing. Bernd Bess
A repetition of a sigle unit is what mass-produce the superblock. 1 unit= 3.5 x 3.5
The addition of two units creates the minimum dwelling space required for one student. Different assemblies of more than two units, then allows for the creation of several different common spaces.
06 | LUXOR : URBAN INTERVENTION CONVENTINAL CENTER | Luxor, Egypt
Luxor : Urban Interventions involved the introduction of a new extension to Luxor and the generation of projects; three main projects were the focus of this development, a grand museum, a convention center and an olympic village. New Tiba is to become the new cultural hub of Luxor pertaining to the whole world. This new extension of Luxor requires creating an integrated and facilitated community that offers a different spatial experience while maintaining and enhancing the identity of the place as an open museum city. The main aim of designing a convention center is attracting people by having the capacity of space to host some of the most attended international events.
supervised by : Pro. Hussam Hussein Salama
BACHELOR PROJECT
The project‘s master plan started by extending the already existing infrastructure creating a central green belt. This green belt creates mixed used public spaces and a continuous journey through the new extension. This journey will go around the green belt and is to be traveled by the newly imported tram that connect spaces together. Thus new typologies will rise on both sides of the belt; an idea inspired by the development of the city Luxor on the Nile’s banks.
The Nile, which is the main spine of Egypt, acts as a provider and it creates life wherever it flows. By implementing this concept and emphasizing it by the inclination of the building’s roof to appear as if it is arising from the ground. This inclination is a sign of the power of this spine that is gradually filling the spaces with life proving to be the dynamic provider to static receivers.
