Environmental Issues affecting
the Idea
Hills
The
project located above a hill in the middle of the village, which makes the
Center is viewed from anywhere as a Land Mark.
Water
the
project location gives the ability of having the River Nile view from the South
Plants
The
surrounding Agriculture area from both North and West directions, these provide
the project with all natural items for
it's unique location.
Common Urban Fabric
Design
criteria is based on the complex pattern (compact urban fabric) which contains
a lot of internal courts.
Environmental Concept:
The idea of using the
internal courts, vaults and domes is to create an acceptable temperature and
atmosphere in such hot weather area.
Philosophy of Design
The main concern was to get in
relation between the social and surrounding
environment with the unique project location
and habits
of pure Egyptian village in Aswan.
These habits and it's simplicity
does not impacted by outside civilization issues.
The Nature and society in Al Belqaedya drives
the Architect not to neglect the
virgin nature at this area as, water, hills,
plans besides the pure air.
All these tools forced the Architect to have
all these items and tools in his
consideration to have the most workable and
acceptable design for the users.

Design Idea.
The idea starts from stair and
ramp leading to the top the hill,
then going through a main spine and branches
to the courts each one
of them considered the building cores.
All of these elements are born
from the idea of the compact urban fabric Materials and Color
The idea is to use
the local materials and colors available at the village in order not only to
facilitate the finance of the project, but also to keep the village theme and
imageStructural
Concept
The Center is design of one Ground Floor with
bearing wall system, Arches using the local stones and to help the resident
labors to built this project and use the covering methods as domes and vaults
