Architectural Building Design
building design
Restoration Centre mainly the concept is a superficial tension of complexity expressed through the clarity of simplicity. It is simple but imaginary; for the circulation inside the building is easy yet interesting. The entire scenario of movement is well planned and guided as each function is designed to own its zone and identity according to the level of privacy and security.
The concept behind the design is to drag the greenery into the site through the axis connecting the public park to Al Fustat Gardens. Working with masses flowing with greenery and ramp strips; to formulate a clear discipline, combining all the functions into a single spine and then integrated the two sides through landscaping.

All platforms extend as cantilevered ramps connecting different levels through the whole building. The plot is integrated with the surrounding landscape through green ramps penetrating the building. Thus an interior design of functions, spaces, uses, and distributions are complex; it is rich in interrelations rather than in form; for which simplicity is above all a triangulation of the experimental field.

museum design
The egyptian film museum downtown cairo The design presented is based on the concept of layering illustrated through diagrams and info graphs of urban and cinema culture analysis. The idea is to synchronize with the existing mixture of urban development (i.e. the area’s layers of Islamic Cairo pattern, Khedivial Downtown grid and the transportation layer). This concept was further developed through series of sequential sketches and physical modeling, guided through problem definition and proposing solutions. Therefore, the museum was designed as an additional layer to integrate with the existing layers. The challenges posed were diluted through attentive steps by integrating the museum with the context visually, physically and functionally, while considering the resultant impact of the outcome.
The multi storey parking garage is a bulky intrusive mass; thereby I intend to extend part of the museum above the existing parking garage. In this manner utilizing the space and integrating the museum and the garage with the context.
I plan to create a connection between the Attaba Square and the museum; for the Attaba Square is currently fenced, closed and neglected. The idea is to create an attraction factor to the public to revive Attaba Square and attract museum visitors. This could be through a landscape intervention in Attaba Square and an underground connection to the museum.
The project location is between Opera and Attaba Squares that are collectively considered a main transportation node in Cairo’s central business district; connecting Khedivial Cairo to Al Attaba’s and Al Azhar’s markets. The Northern verge of the site is occupied by the Azbakeya Garden which is currently intruded by a number of buildings, a garage and a bus stop. To the South and East directions, administrative use dominates the area in addition to a large historic market. On the other hand, mixed usage ranging from offices and residential to commercial in addition to heritage complexes, are the leading treatment on the western and south western borders. The main design aim on the urban scale is to connect Opera Square and Attaba Square. The idea is to introduce some modifications and intervention in order to attract people back to the area and offer public attraction facilities. This would then enhance the urban scene and attract visitors to the museum. It is also important for touristic and safety reasons; for Attaba Square is currently fenced and unused as it is unfit for the public needs. In addition possible reuse of the ground floor of the multi storey parking garage could promote the situation. A huge defect in the situation is that there are no enough safe and planned pedestrian routes. These routes could also be diffused on all road network levels; i.e. it shall extend underground and through the museum. The whole design is bound under the concept of layers that form the entire scene and urban image. These layers are different design elements, solutions and planning techniques that are all referenced to the diagram I created from the combined cinema culture data and urban analysis.
Opera Square
Administrative Governmental Building
Opera Multi story Parking Garage
Attaba Square
The mega scale traffic network of bridges and tunnels are imposing on the entire urban situation. I believe that this calls for a planned pedestrian route that would give back the area its former glory

Movies act as an invaluable documentation of the layers of the social level, political situation and lifestyle and all the components that a place struggles with and ends up the way we perceive it now. Thereby to convey this key of understandmentof a full, un-blurred vision of our urban scene; the urban context of the museum must be as much full of history and acting as a focal point in the city; presented in the selected urban context between Attaba and Opera Squares. Through my own perception of the situation, I have decided to include the Opera parking building and the Attaba Square into my design process. Researching on both the urban layers and the Egyptian film layers, I collected data that I then translated into diagrams; combined in a conceptual diagrammatic representation that is abstracted and refined to turn into architecture. The Diagram of layers reflects on the Museum in both form and circulation to house a cycle of planned routes with transitional spaces for completely interesting journey.

Visualizing the Layers
The design presented is based on the concept of layering illustrated through diagrams and info graphs of urban and cinema culture analysis. The idea is to synchronize with the existing mixture of urban development (i.e. the area’s layers of Islamic Cairo pattern, Khedivial Downtown grid and the transportation layer). This concept was further developed through series of sequential sketches and physical modeling, guided through problem definition and proposing solutions. Therefore, the museum was designed as an additional layer to integrate with the existing layers. The challenges posed were diluted through attentive steps by integrating the museum with the context visually, physically and functionally, while considering the resultant impact of the outcome. For instance, the lack of public spaces and pedestrian routes was treated by studying the context of the area, reviewing its TIS - Traffic Impact System and thus designing a spacious public platform connecting Attaba Square to
the museum, in addition Attaba Auditorium.

joint width (horizontal/vertical) maximum thickness of underlying finishing profiles
: 10 mm : 0.8 mm
The vertical joints can be treated with the black adhesion primer of the gluing system or with a black self adhesive tape. This tape can only be applied in the middle of the profile between the two double-sided adhesive strips. The vertical joints can be finished with
decorative covering sections in wood or aluminium. The horizontal joints can be finished with a black aluminium joint profile. This is particularly useful when the underlying insulation must be protected against the infiltration of rain. The part of the aluminium profile behind the panel may not be too thick to avoid tension. If this is the case, the wings of the profile must be wide enough for the fixing of the panel through the joint profile. The horizontal joint section is the same width as the panel so the vertical joint remains open. One can also make use of decorative horizontal joint sections. If necessary, the horizontal joints can be left open.

The folding element This intervention is an attempt to re-Design The GUC D-Building to provide a sense of orientation and identity, in addition to utilizing the wasted indoor and outdoor spaces. The design is based on functionality and the user demands of the spaces, through the different departments including the architectural department.
The Conceptual idea
Fictional Narrative A narrative of the lost tales of a city. The narrative illustrates how the city works and exhibits the social relations of its inhabitants. The Inhabitants of the city symbolize our senses i.e. hearing, seeing/watching and speaking. The sense of hearing is translated as a person who follows orders and does not question any aspect, whereas seeing is the action of an observer who documents data and creates reports. However, the leaders and rulers are characterized by their power of speech. The Narrative is a metaphorical exaggeration of how cities might end up be. The exaggeration is intentional; alarming the reader of the consequences of the standardization and the phantom of the dream of perfection everyone is working for.

urban housing project new cairo To exploit the contrast of the Solid and Void to create courtyards and open spaces both horizontally (In plan) and vertically (in section/elevation); thereby, serving an intended wider vision of “Framing Views�. The idea is to use the voids and control their amount and size according to the view they face. In addition, this allows for added quality, better lighting and ventilation and more private open spaces to be used. The division of the units of each block is oriented and shaped according to its orientation. The heights of all the Blocks are decided according to a 1:1 or 1:1.5 ratio to the open space or the street. This is to make sure all masses receive good amount of light and ventilation and for the masses to be proportional to its context.

The initial step impacting the elevation design is the vertical voids of the Framed views, these voids are many and small on the south façade to create the maximum shaded spaces and break the bulkiness of the huge mass. The openings at this side are covered with movable horizontal louvers at the night use rooms. However, the biggest void is on the side facing the petrified forest (East) which also has the maximum amount of openings possible to exploit the advantage of the desert view, with vertical louvers at the Daytime used areas. The North façade has no louvers and a sufficient amount of windows to all the rooms. This is because; the North is the coolest side of the building, doesn’t need shading elements and to reflect the spaciousness of the Public space that it over views. Moreover, the West Façade, facing the street, is the bold façade expressing the idea of voids and framing views with minimal openings having louvers at the night time used areas. The section A-A shows the complex interactions of the different voids – courtyards, vertical voids, terraces and patios of different types; some are open on two sides (for example the street and the courtyard), others are one sided, while some can be open to the sky with one or two sides open.

Cairo university Maspero analysis Focus on time - space relation
THIS MAPPING PROJECT IS INSPIRED BY OMA’S Yokohama program diagram That is based on the time space relation to map the place. the idea is to apply the same mapping technique in cairo . the project is an initiative for a fresh look on cairo’s public spaces; in the sake of finding the elements that facilitates a successful public space in the city. an asset to the study was also the information of the investigation done by william H. Whyte in his book and documentary of the urban life of small public spaces. His study is the key driver to the adopted methodology in the project.

Cairo’s Map
The potential of division to promote diversit y is investigatd through analysis on urban scale models of Cairo’s urban fabric (800m radius circles). The analysis models where three cricles in Cairo; chosen to include a very distinguishable difference in the urban pl anning and use. In each case model, the separating borders vary from physical ones i.e. the Nile, and functional borders to just an old abonded railway track. Although the borders seem to divide 2 districts, the analysis showed that both depend on each other and roles of serving and being served diminishes.Unexpectedly, the results demonstrate that the difference is a huge potential that might be also considered a successful protot ype model to apply throughout the cit y of Cairo.

The innovation hub of the 6th of october bridge
This project is a narrative based future-prediction; it is to address a vital crisis to come i.e. a blockage due to the high dependency on vehicular commutation. The narrative illustrates the possible scenarios of how the people, the state and the city would react to the situation. Moreover, it includes a solution scenario in context and that is applicable throughout the main route of commutation in Cairo “The 6TH of October Bridge�.

AN ALEXANDRIAN NEIGHBORHOOD ALEXANDRIA
As cities need affordable housing and any neighborhood diversity in population and facilities, tHE IDEA IS to investigate possible plans for the transformation of various medium-scale brownfields in Alexandria. THE challenge IS to develop fresh insights and tools to realize AN intense, polycentric neighborhood of maximum diversity and accessibility, with taking various income groups from low to middle-class into consideration. The concept adopted is based on analysis of surrounding situation on various scales of demand. It is also a cry for an upgrade in the lifestyle in the city. The idea is to apply a SUSTAINABLE SPRAWL in these brown-field in Alexandria. The term is a challenge to combine the two seemingly opposing vocabs to form not only a new term but also a new definition and a new investigative idea to test in context.
