OVERVIEW & ANALYSISGIZA-GEM: URBAN DESIGN STUDIO PROFESSORS: DR. HALA NASSAR and ROBERT HEWITTSPRING 2008

Background The Grand Egyptian Museum requires the creation of an esplanade linking the mu-seum to the Giza pyramids, and upgrading surrounding urban fabric. During a 7 day site visit. Clemson and Ain-Shams University students divided the site into sectors to perform site analysis. My sector was Sector 1. Returning to the states the final design product was a group studio effort.

G.E.M. Zones: The focus of our design was the esplanade.

GIZA-GEM URBAN DESIGN STUDIODesign Principles

Progression from antiquity to modernity.

DEVELOPMENT

Natural barrier to monument site. With primary and secondary cross-ing points. Ancient canal system links monument site with urban fabric, green spaces and agriculture.

Nile and Canal SystemsIntertwined boulevard system around canal and espla-nade.

Cosmology

The ancient Egyp-tians were avid astronomers. The sun symbolized their core values. Using rays of the sun from the pyra-mids we transi-tion from historic pyramids to the modern G.E.M.

PROJECT OKURASE: GHANA PROFESSORS: ROBERT MILLER and RAY HUFFSPRING 2009OVERVIEW & ANALYSISBackground

Rural Ghanaian and Ashanti Villages

Private courtyard spaces organized around larger public courtyard.

Education PerformanceAccomodationsService

Program Analysis

A rural Ashanti village of 5,000 people in Ghana. The project sponsor teamed with Clemson Architecture Center in Charleston to fulfill vision of a medical and educational center for the community and surrounding areas. Before the start of the semester two graduate students traveled to the site for analysis. A team comprised of graduate architect and undergraduate landscape and architecture students to develop a sustainable site that could be easily constructed by the residents of the village. As a group we performed analysis, and conceptual master planning. Individu-ally we worked to further the design. I was responsible for development of site circulation, site entrances, landscape vegetation and the final rendered master plan.

Site Analysis:Context to Village, Environmental, Topology,Winds, Transportation.

Studies of air movement and shade were applied when de-veloping the site. A series of shaded courtyards oriented to generate wind.

RE-TANNING THE LANDSCAPE PROFESSOR: DR. GALEN NEWMANFALL 2010BackgroundContinued growth and increasing residential densities of informal settlements in Cairo threaten residents health, ecological net-works and historic monuments. I selected a portion of the tannery area that will be relocated in the identified informal area the historic district of Al-Fustat to redevelop as my graduation project. My design revives shared spaces, the ecological network and provides economic opportunities through historic settlement patterns.

Total Removed Area- 70.815 Acres Remaining Population- 15,943-31,886 People

OVERVIEW

Obsolescence of Shared Spaces

Study of typical evolution and development around family, work, and community shared space. The need to increase density fills in shared space.

Design Principles

Land uses broken down by public and transporta-tion accessibility. Unified by ecological network.

Extensions of existing privacy levels and secondary roads. Land use by block influenced by privacy levels and sur-rounding uses. Two linear parks preserving historic sites. Linked together

through private and public shared spaces.
