WAVES Compound

Idea projektu

The East Port Said Wave-Inspired Compound is a visionary project themed around the fluid, undulating forms of sea waves. The primary objective is to enhance the quality of life for residents while supporting the economic growth and sustainability of the East Port Said area. The design draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the coastal environment, aiming to create a harmonious and dynamic living space. Integration with the East Port Said area is a crucial aspect of the project. The commercial hub will create job opportunities and support local businesses, contributing to the region’s economic development. Strategically placed entrances and exits ensure easy access to major roads and transportation networks, facilitating smooth connectivity with the rest of the city. Spaces for community events and activities are included to foster a sense of belonging and engagement among residents.

Popis projektu

The layout incorporates wave-inspired architecture, featuring buildings and pathways with curved forms that mimic the movement of waves. A central water feature, designed in a large, wave-shaped form, serves as the focal point of the compound, providing a serene and visually appealing environment. Streets and pedestrian pathways follow gentle, flowing trajectories, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and creating a cohesive design. Additionally, wave-shaped green spaces and parks are interspersed throughout the compound, offering recreational areas that promote a healthy lifestyle. The compound includes a variety of key components. Residential units, consisting of a mix of apartments and villas, are designed with wave-inspired elements to offer diverse housing options. A commercial hub with wave-shaped roofs and facades provides retail, dining, and office spaces, fostering local business growth. Community amenities such as schools, healthcare facilities, and recreational centers are strategically placed to meet the needs of residents. Sustainable design principles, including solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and green roofs, are integrated to ensure environmental responsibility.

Technické informácie

The structure of the East Port Said Wave-Inspired Compound is designed not only to reflect the beauty of sea waves but also to foster a sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant community. By integrating wave-inspired architecture with modern amenities and sustainable practices, the project aims to set new standards for urban development, enhancing both the environment and quality of life for its residents.

WAVES Compound

Dear Ahmed Sameh and Mai Diab You have done a very good job in designing urban housing entitled "WAVES Compound". It is really aesthetical pleasing functional and implementable. Though I have very few comments for improvement. 1. In you design you have done a very good job for coming up with 32 buildings that have variety in terms of building typology (5) and considered 4 income levels. The gap is that you should have also included variety of Architectural plans in terms of bedroom number specially for low and middle incomes. Which means you means your design will be rich in variety if you could have included (Studio type, one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom) plan typologies. Analyzing your plan your design is dominated with two-bedroom typology only. 2. Urban design, landscape design and architectural designers should think about inclusivity in terms of their accessibility to the disabled. Seeing from your design it looks you haven't considered it. Design should be inclusive. 3. Issue of car parking is also not clearly communicated in your design or dedicated space for parking is not considered in your design. 4. You have mentioned that there is "A commercial hub with wave-shaped roofs and facades provides retail, dining, and office spaces, fostering local business growth" however the design and dedicated space is not clearly communicated in your presentation. 5.You have also mentioned that the design includes as "Sustainable design principles, including solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and green roofs, are integrated to ensure environmental responsibility". However, your design (Urban design and 3D and landscape) doesn't communicate these specific elements that you have mentioned such as green roof, solar panels and rainwater harvesting mechanisms. 6. Your street layout doesn't look sustainable because it doesn't incorporate sustainable street design principles such as walkability (pedestrian friendly) dedicated pedestrian walkways should be clearly communicated, bicycle spaces, street greenery,
