Graduation Project
Fish Market Complex
Intellectual Identity..
(Extension for the old fish market in Alexandria - Egypt)
Fish Market has always played an important role in the city. Both locals and tourists look at the fish market as a central part of city's identity. Part of what is important in the proposal is to emphasize the place of the people, the open and visible market and strengthen the movements and contacts between areas in the city.
The market is used in many functions in everyday life and festivals. The Design strategy focuses on integrate the cultural hotspot and its surrounding public life. A public space is created with views, which creates an opportunity to gather people for both everyday life and festive events. The Fish market continues its history as a place for the people – an open and vibrant environment where the daily fish trade and other marked trades can expand freely, where the tourists get attracted to a strong city icon.

Interior zone I (Restaurant)
Light is the single most important aspect of design that can make or break the success of a restaurant since it sets the ambiance, captures eye catching details and should enhance the visual presentation of the cuisine among other things like the menu, artwork, and other guests! So you guys sit back and peruse these cool funky spaces.
INTERIOR ZONE II (Small fish market)
The concept of adding value to products through exploration is the main theme of a rather unusual design which aims to be a journey of the senses around displays brimming with fresh products.The sculptural glass ceiling, with a prismatic shape and tones is illustrating its underwater magic, becoming a form representation of the refraction of natural light on the water and denser water.
Interior zone III (Outdoor BBQ)
The main concept for the design inspired from fishing net to reinforce the identity and the spirit of the sea in the place, the extra hight and parametric shape helped to make it a landmark for the project.
