Passion Technical skills Languages

Being raised in Cairo has given me a metropolitan perspective AutoCAD Arabic (Native)
on life, which has pushed me to pay attention to details in the

chaos of the big city. While analyzing the city’s dynamic and
challenges, I gained my passion for architecture coupled with Premier Italian (Intermediate)

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL

AN URBAN PROJECT

TORRE PALi, PUGLIA

I T A L Y

This project was a part of a bigger project aimed at

reestablishing the urban design of Torre Pali, Apulia. A
thin strip reestablished on a wetland flooding seasonally ,
where a thin line separates the artificial and natural . Hence
the formation of the promenade following the behavior
of nature to create an artificial natural promenade that
fluctuates from permanent to temporary structures.
constructing a triangle of connection between NATURE,
TOURIST and LOCAL. A fish market and temporary market
pavilions ensure the interaction between tourist, and the
local’s lifestyle. The new TORRE PALI (the tower) reacts
with nature and creates a new perspective over the town.

 BETWEEN THE MIND AND BODY

A GENTLE MANIFESTO

Between the mind and body lies the medium of senses

that translates the external reality to the psyche
perception of reality, just like an architectural medium
that filters the environment’s influence over a human’s
senses. This is a study, a platform of expressing ideas
of diverse perception of the world, the relation between
architecture, the human body, its senses and the psyche.
Exploiting the power of architecture on creating different
variations and alternations of reality through the
translation of external information to the human brain.
