We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: Creating a catalyst for future development which fed by Nile to upgrade the surrounding urban context. Also creating a rapid transporting events with a long-term positive impact. The hub location represent the historical transportation connections, water and rail, refocus bus transit both local and regional, and integrate with walking activities so that people have a multi-layered choice on how they travel to carry out their day-to-day activities.

: Our Plan is trying to convert the project into reality by finding someone who could fund us & Adopt the Project to Come it Out Into the Light .
: It took about six months of intensive work
: Well We have a major transportation and traffic problems in our country & most of us suffer every day for his ordinary travels from home to work and vise verse , from this point we found our selves need to develop a new way and prototype of transportation hubs in our country .
: as we told before Our Plan is trying to convert the project into reality by finding someone who could fund us & Adopt the Project to Come it Out Into the Light .
: helping in upgrading the infrastructure of our country that leads to a respectful lifestyle for people
: in cairo , Egypt
: This project will mainly be used by ordinary people
: that our design is aiming to achieve an environment that is not just a focal point for transportation, it is a new experience for the users, it is providing a place for people to access local amenities and work opportunities that helps to improve the community to achieve a better future.
: The name inspired from the main concept of our project : Creating a catalyst for future development
: We mainly used BIM ( Building information modeling ) to insure the accuracy and the integrity of all layers of circulation in the project , 3D circulation & suitable structure for each part in the project.
: The project is a Transportation HUB that links the surrounding urban settlements to the heart of the dynamic life in easy and efficient way generated by merging different transportation systems like railway station, metro station, nile deck and bus station in addition to other services to convert the place to be the catalyst for the future development
: yes we collaborated with civil engineers to help us while designing and upgrading the streets, bridges and moneeb square.
: The BIM technology helped us to integrate all these layers easily with minimum percentage of error
: in the first we made a : ( collective research ) about the transportation systems in egypt and the transportation networks . research objectives : to find the best and suitable place to make the project on it which has overlaps in more that one transportation system. we found that Monib district and Monib square is the best location in the capital to make the project on it because it has the most overlaps in all types of transportation networks . after that we made another research on the selected place . research objective : to collect data on the traffic ,transportation lines in-sight , the main problems in that zone to trying to solve them with the project . the research analysed: - the existing case circulation and flow analysis . -land use timeline growth in the place -statistical data : density , building conditions and construction type of building there . after all of that : we made our decisions on how we will face these problems and how to change these constraints to be a good development by using international standards in redesign the square and in design the stations and the connections between them .
: the main challenge was how to convert the existing place that crowded with slums into a new catalyst that encourage the people to upgrade the place . and how can we deal with the road network to maintain it and convert the monib square from its initial form to an organized and standard form . Also we faced some challenges while trying to connect the different way of transportations with each other smoothly with minimum distances for the passengers to move from a transportation system to another without facing troubles .
: by seeing the competition ad
: We learned a lot about transportation systems and design standards , a lot about human reactions and way of movement in this place & a lot about infrastructure and road designs .
: thank you
