Revamping Ibrahimia Canal Street

Project idea

Revamping and redesigning the Ibrahimia Canal Street in Asyut, Egypt, to transform it into a vibrant, accessible urban waterfront with improved public spaces, green areas, and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure.

Project description

The project focuses on the urban redesign of the Ibrahimia Canal Street, addressing issues of neglected waterfront areas, poor pedestrian access, and underutilized public spaces. The design includes site analysis examining existing conditions, traffic patterns, and land use. The concept development proposes a comprehensive masterplan with landscaped promenades, waterfront galleries, seating areas, and improved connectivity between the canal and the surrounding urban fabric. The schematic design features green corridors along the canal, public gathering spaces with palm trees and vegetation, and architectural interventions that enhance the relationship between the city and the waterway.

The schematic design presents master plans, sectional drawings, and 3D visualizations showing the proposed waterfront treatment. Design elements include a galleria component, landscaped walkways, and urban furniture. Cross-sections illustrate the relationship between the canal, pedestrian zones, and vehicular roads.
