Pathways, alleys and in-betweens
The Canal City
Urban Design | Spring 2016, The American University in Cairo
Breathing new life into the canal city that lies between the calm seas and the rough terrain. An experiential design where even the parking is a visual treat. This project aims in creating an artificial island to achieve a serene life without the exhaust of the cars and the chaos of a city.
The island is mostly covered with greenery with terrain of different heights to achieve views, isolation and optimum ventilation. The use of trees and green spaces also act as social connectors encouraging the residents to meet and interact. The sea is used not only as an isolator but also a connector between clusters of residential vacation homes.
