EL MOEZ STREET 1من اصل3

شارع المعز
ARCHITECT: DR MOSTAFA GABRA
The main concept was creating an outdoor theater where walking through a
space walls tell stories of a thousand experiences galvanized in the stones.
The robust nature of the site is enhanced with a design of diverse activities,
that don’t interfere historical site value. Through this understanding a vision
of uniting vital nodes with important circulation axis (streets) was realized. :
In the center of that narrative lies a cultural node -near the textile museum
and Makaadmamy   – where cultural soirees and conferences are held, a
commercial node Khan AI Khalili , and finally a recreational node at bab el
Nasr plaza. These are connected through two main axis, AI   Moez and
AI   Gamaleya streets and streets joining them (Al- Darb AI- Asfar street,
Tambaksheya and Gohar AI- Kaed Street).
IT IS PROPOSED THAT THIS SITE IS PRESENTED IN 3 ROUTES.
1. Short Route
Short and quick visits for a monumental buildings (residential or
public)using a segment of   the main streets (2 hours)
2. Medium Route
Stop at the heart of the site and discover the cultural wealth, experience a
variety of monuments. The visit would allow use of local cafeterias
overlooking pedestrian streets.
3. Long Route
Truly experience the full impact of the site on an overnight stay at one of
the rehabilitee building outfitted to offer hotel and accommodation
opportunity.
Certain Elements were considered while designing:
SURROUNDING BUILT CONTEXT: The buildings were raised and
restored tearing down any existing infringements and redesigning
commercial facades to reflect the typical character of the space
completing cohesive image.
?URBAN SPACES: The organic urban fabric was emphasized by
unifying sidewalks’ and street patterns, removing barriers obstacles
from public places   and unifying a typical pattern projected on users.
