Why Education: Since the start of the pandemic, Educational Facilities were the most ones facing difficulties and challenges Why Cairo: Cairo governorate was chosen because it has the most census of the population, so we find that it is one of the most governorates in need of radical solutions regarding social distancing and the control of diseases and epidemics. Why Primary and Preparatory stages of education: We choose primary and preparatory educational stages Because the local culture of the people gives the most importance to these two stages, so we find that they are the two most crowded stages of students. Why Elmarg district: Because it is the highest district in Cairo with students in the primary and middle school stages. Design process: After Applying the 2-meter distance between desks on the 90m2 area available (the recommended space from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention l) the number of desks was significantly low (7 desks) compared to a minimum of 21 desks before the start of the pandemic, which doesn't fit to the high numbers of students that already go to the crowded classrooms of schools in Cairo. After Applying the 2-meter distance between desks on the 90m2 area available (the recommended space from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention l) the number of desks was signific...

Since Corona virus has hit Egypt hard, the most negatively impacted, Education field, classes were closed, learning platform was conducted online, and the network of Egypt wasn’t well prepared for this, and the scientific material wasn’t properly conducted, interaction between students and teachers was missed which is a very influencing factor in educational process, unlike other fields: • Commercial: Economic status were in a remarkable growth • Residential: was discussed in many platforms & already extracted many solutions and alternatives for it. • Entertainment & sports: This field found its alternatives, people replaced many activities by cycling and running and this made them dispense with sport clubs, gymnasiums & playgrounds • Administration: this was conducted online, but not very negatively affected like education (no scientific material needed to transfer) Chosen site: The more challenges a chosen site faces, the more successful a built on design to be, so, we’ve chosen a very deterriorated site (poverty wise & education), in Egypt: Assiut - Sohag According to a study, the most 5 poor governorates in Egypt (Assiut, Sohag, Bani-Suef, Beheira & Cairo).
