"The new Fine Arts Center in Egypt -Helwan- represents a mix of architectural principles that stand for a new age of architectural design and sustainability."
The project is designed as series of surfaces that emerge from the ground to create a natural habitat. The geometry has been carefully designed according to solar exposure, wind currents, and maximum rainwater collection. The roof is a continuous green park perforated at different areas to create courtyards that provide natural light and ventilation to all interior spaces.
The project was formed by studying the current architectural movements, for the purpose of producing a balanced structure that serves its own purpose whilst presenting a new attractive way of producing a sustainable project, which was the main requirement in the graduation project.
The skin has massive amounts of native greenery that will endure the hot-humid climate environments such as Egypt’s. A rain water recycling system was installed as well for the sake of preserving every drop of rain water in the rain season.
