Graduation Project
Graduation Project
Faculty of Engineering Ain Shams University
Architecture Department - Urban Design Concentration
Grade: A+ (K.R).
Location: Ras El-Hekma, Egypt.
Area: 170 Feddan.
The scope of the project is to design an International University in Ras El-Hekma consists of an interdisciplinary programs university, innovation park with startup village, and housing zone.
The main concept is Biomimicry - Swarm Intelligence ( Slime Mold)
Slime Mold is a kind of amoeba, its a single cell organism joins together to form a supercell to maximize resources. it does a rythmic pulse flow that carries chemical information and this continuous pulsing allows to form complex understanding of surrounding.
The scope is to design an urban design and architecture project that simulates the behavior of Slime Mold to make different spaces in the Architecture form, and make a spaces with different user experience in urban design and landscape.
