Location : Giza Rural areas Team : Samer Mohamed Adel El Sayary Code: H-1066 The design Concept : The new design concept is a new approach to express myriad and vast cultural spectrum of Egyptian identities by designing a neutral white minimal house with one big vertical courtyard window capturing views of Egyptian land scenery reflecting the core intangible and hidden values of local societies with the high flexibility and adaptability to any local culture and to the changing Egyptian family needs. Adaptability and flexibility is a key element also in the new design where it was found that most Egyptian family’s needs are changing by time and in need of more space. The solution was in creating a multi-use space on the ground floor with big storage units to store the furniture and hence the plan could be multi-used as required. The Egyptian rural area suffers a non-healthy housing problems with extreme poverty levels, the new design intended to solve those urgent issues with promoting the social values. Also in response to the United nations sustainability goals that were integrated into the design criteria to Build a cultural habitat with community and for community. The environmental agenda was also studied to push the boundaries of regular sustainability to a new level of self-sufficiency with goal of creating a Zero-energy house producing its own water and food. The environmental approach was based upon standing on the...

MODULAR - VERTICAL SCHOOL RE-IDENTIFYING THE MEANING OF SCHOOLS AFTER THE COVID-19 Location: Faisal - Giza Architect: Islam Ehab Code: E-1111 PROJECT : A VERTICAL SCHOOL THAT PROVIDES LIMITLESS ROUTE FOR KEEPING DISTANCE. CONSIDERING THE SMALL BUILDING AREA AND THE NEED OF IMPLEMENTATION OF MORE MULTI- FUNCTIONAL SPACES. THE CONCEPT OF MODULARITY WAS USED, TO ENRICH MORE FROM THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ARCHITECTURAL SPACES. BY CREATING A MODULAR SYSTEM AROUND A UNIT THAT GROWS VERTICALLY, OFFERS A GREAT AMOUNT OF FLEXIBILITY, AUTONOMY AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPERIENCES. THE HOLES TIC ARE FORMED BY DUPLICATING THESE UNITS UPWARDS AND CONNECTING THEM BY A STAIRCASE THAT REDEFINES THE MOVEMENT. THE DIFFERENT MODULES ALLOW THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A NEW METHOD OF LEARNING BY HAVING DIFFERENT METHODS THAT PUSHED EVEN FURTHER THE TRADITIONAL BOUNDARIES OF THE WORKPLACE. THESE SEGREGATED VERTICAL TOPOGRAPHIES CREATE VARIETY OF SPATIAL EXPERIENCES AND INHABITABLE SPACES. THE FORM OFFERS A GREAT AMOUNT OF FLEXIBILITY, AUTONMY AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPERIENCES. THE HOLESTIC FORM IS FORMED BY DUPLICATING THESE UNITS UPWARDS AND CONNECTING THEM BY A STAIRCASE THAT RE-DIFINES THE MOVEMENT. THE DIFFERENT MODULES ALLOW THE OPPORTIOUNITY FOR A NEW METHOD OF LEARNING BY HAVING DIFFERENT METHODS THAT PUSHED EVEN FURTHER THE TRADITIONAL BOUNDRIES OF THE WORKPLACE. THE UNITS ARE EACH BROKEN DOWN TO SMALL DESTINCTIVE ZONES AND EACH IS EXPRESSED INDIVIDUALLY ON THE FACADES. THE INDIVIDUAL PRIMARY...

Location : sultan Hassan mosque – Old Cairo Code : O 1286 Team Marwan Medhat Mohamed- Saif Ahmed Mohamed - Mohamed Ahmed Hany - Habiba Mohamed Kamal - Ahmad Hany Hamdy Project Guide A place where students can work safely without fear of contracting any viral diseases since we are still asked to work in groups and finish our projects even in dire circumstances and so arose the need for a safe, sustainable co-working space. We also chose this specific site as it is an iconic location in relation to many landmarks including Al-Sultan Hassan Mosque, Al-Refaii Mosque and the Citadel and while such magnificent buildings are present there is a huge lack of any student workplaces even though these places are usually teeming with students who go on site visits, or other projects and who don’t find any near places to work and might have to commute between the workplace and the site. Our main goal is adding value: Scientific Value: Using sustainable building materials and energy conserving techniques. Cultural Value: Having an efficient modern design without desecrating such a religious and spiritual environment. Educational Value: New concepts in trying to prevent spread of viral infections in usually crowded spaces. Factors considered: Water Fountain: Inside the court lying in the geometrical centre of our project surrounded by all the elements and acting as a cooling feature . Program: Our program con...
