This was my second Graded unit Project, it involved construction of Steel framed Office building, based on HND modules we were advised to devise solution of Steel building which two areas of specialisation in which I chose Sustainability and Frame Structure. This assignment does not have drawings and calculations unfortunately i have lost them, however their is a copy at Former Stow College now Glasgow Kelvin college so students can access from there. For any structural help, I would strongly advise to meet Mr Murdo a very competent lecturer in Kelvin college.
Although its rough guide, we were not heavily using journals at that stage, as we relied mostly on our course material. However some of the Green material which i used was taken from companies publications.

Impact of Climate and Environment Changes on the Sustainability of the Coasta...Galala University
Impact of Climate and Environment Changes on the Sustainability of the Coastal Areas: The Case of Ain Sukhna, Red Sea, Egypt
This paper investigates the impact of climate and environmental changes on the sustainability of the coastal area of Ain Sukhna, Red Sea, Egypt. Ain Sukhna sea shores and Galala mountain region have witnessed rapid change and modifications during the past 50 years. Climate changes are expected to impact this area through the increase in the amount and intensity of rainfall and the rise of seawater tides. Modifications applied to the topography of the mountains through grading and levelling are spreading excavation debris on the sides of the mountains creating a new hazard if swept away by the rainwater. The paper analyzes the design and construction of the coastal and mountain developments and assesses their capacity to withstand these changes. The negative impact of these changes is not only ecological but also physical and socioeconomic. Climate change impacts are becoming more instantaneous and intensified. Place-based strategies for reducing the negative impact of climate change are required to reduce the physical and ecological vulnerabilities and manage the impacts of climate change.

Sustainability of Tourism Development in the city of Ain-Sukhna, Egypt
Tourism is a major economic source for Egypt, due to its significant natural and cultural attractions. Yet, rapid development and construction of touristic facilities have a negative impact on the fragile natural and cultural heritage. This paper studies the recent touristic developments of the coastal stretch of Ain-Sukhna on the Red Sea coastal region of Galala Mountain, and their impact on the surrounding natural and cultural attractions. Coral reefs and rich marine life have made this stretch among the prime fishing and scuba diving destinations in the world. The area is also famous for its year-round sunny beaches and the spectacular coastal scenic drive where Galala Mountain reaches the Red Sea. Recently, development has started on the mountains following the construction of Galala Mountain Road. Galala City started with Galala University and several residential, touristic, and commercial facilities. This paper studies the pattern of development in the area during the past 40 years and assesses its impact on natural and cultural resources.

Sustainability of Tourism Development in Al Ain Al Sukhna, Egypt
Due to its significant natural and cultural attractions, tourism is a major economic source for Egypt. Yet, rapid development and construction of touristic facilities has negative impact on the fragile natural and cultural heritage. This paper studies the recent touristic developments of the coastal stretch of Al Ain Al Sukhna – the hot spring in Arabic - on the Red Sea coastal region of Galala mountain, and their impact on the surrounding natural and cultural attractions. Coral reefs and rich marine life have made this stretch among the prime fishing and scuba diving destinations in the world. The area is also famous of its all-year-round sunny beaches, spectacular coastline scenic drive where mountains reach the costal road. Recently, development has started on the mountains following the construction of Galala Mountainous road. Galala City started operating hosting Galal University and several other residential, touristic and commercial facilities. The paper studies the pattern of development in the area during the past 50 years and assesses its impact on the natural and cultural resources.
Typologies of Urban Development in Sukhna-Zaafarana Area.pdfGalala University
Development of Sukhna-Zaafarana stretch went several forms and intensities during different periods of time. It is currently witnessing another wave of rapid development resulting in more stress on the natural and urban environment. This paper analyses the typologies of its urban development and their resilience to potential risks of climate change using urban design techniques to analyze the area in terms of character, continuity and quality of the public realm, ease of movement, legibility, adaptability and diversity. In addition, the research analyzes the different natural sites, such as the shoreline, the floodplains, the Galala mountains, and the valleys. Methods used in this study included: survey and analysis of the built and natural environments based on maps and site visits; and SWOT analysis to identify the potential risks and challenges in the area. Maps and tables of typologies based on the date of construction, environmental characteristics, neighborhood planning, architectural design elements, urban design features, landscape design, greenery, and water features are produced. The results of the study indicate the absence of visual connectivity, architectural identity, public services and facilities, and overlapping vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Moreover, the built environment is vulnerable to climate change risks, since most structures on the coast are built either close to the shoreline or on floodplains, hence threatened by sea-level rise and extreme flush floods respectively. The study concludes by suggesting a set of urban design guidelines based on the three principles of sustainability; environmental, economic and equity to achieve a more sustainable and resilient environment.
AI-Human Dialogue for Architectural Design Concept Generation presentation 26...Galala University
AI-Human Dialogue for Architectural Design Concept Generation presentation
Architectural design concept generation is the process of coming up with the initial ideas for a new building or structure.
It is an essential part of the architectural design process, as it provides the foundation for the rest of the design.
AI-human dialogue for architectural design concept generation is a process where an architect and an AI system collaborate to generate architectural design concepts.
The AI system can be used to:
Generate ideas: The AI system can be used to generate a wide range of design ideas
Evaluate ideas: The AI system can also be used to evaluate design ideas. This can be done by considering factors such as functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. This can help the architect to make informed decisions about the design.
Collaborate with the architect: The AI system can also be used to collaborate with the architect. This can be done by providing feedback on the architect's ideas or by generating new ideas based on the architect's input.

2. Urban Planning Legislations
• Urban Planning Legislations
• What are they? And why do we need them?
• To control growth
• To distribute services and amenities
• To control urban environment
3. Urban Planning
urban planning
Noun
1. the branch of architecture dealing with the design and
organization of urban space and activities
2. determining and drawing up plans for the future physical
arrangement and condition of a community
4. Urban Planning
• Urban, City, and Town planning integrates land
use planning and transport planning to improve
the built, economic and social environments of
communities.
6. Legislation
• Legislation (or "statutory law") is law which has
been promulgated (or "enacted") by
a legislature or other governing body, or the
process of making it.
• Laws, considered collectively
7. Objective of urban planning legislations
• The main objective of urban planning
legislations is to improve the Quality of Urban
Environment and the Quality of Urban Life.
• In order to assess the success of Urban
Planning Legislations objectives, research on
the QOUL should be systematically conducted.
• Benefits:
– Policy Makers
– Planning Authorities
– Change legislations
8. Legislation
• City planners imposed regulatory laws
establishing standards for:
– housing,
– sanitation,
– water supply,
– sewage, and
– public health conditions, and
– introduced parks and playgrounds into
congested city neighborhoods.
9. Legislation
• In the 20th century, zoning — the regulation of building
activity according to use and location — came to be a
key tool for city planners.
10. Architecture and Legislations
• Throughout history, architectural form has been defined
and, or affected, by legislation designed to control its
appearance.
• Laws, written and unwritten have been used to define
the physical form, material architectural features of
public spaces, and other such parts of the city.
11. Architecture and Legislations
• The inter relationship between architecture and law
needs to be ascertained – especially how the built
environment (including buildings, public spaces, and the
use of those spaces) has been controlled through
various forms of legislation.
14. Introduction
Building Codes & Regulations and:
Public welfare
Important for design
Compliance with them is essential
Violation of them cause:
- injury to building users
- legal liability
- revocation of license
- ………. Jail!!!
16. 1. Historic Development
The First Building Code: The Code of
Hammurabi
• Law 228. If a builder build a house for
someone and complete it, he shall give
him a fee of two shekels in money for
each sar of surface.
• Law 229. If a builder build a house for
someone, and does not construct it
properly, and the house which he built
fall in and kill its owner, then that builder
shall be put to death.
17. 1. Historic Development
• Law 230. If it kill the son of the owner,
the son of that builder shall be put to
death.
• Law 231. If it kill a slave of the owner
then he shall pay slave for slave to the
owner of the house.
• Law 232. If it ruin goods, he shall make
compensation for all that has been
ruined, and is as much as he did not
construct properly this house which he
built and it fell, he shall re-erect the house
from his own means.
18. Building Code History - World
1700 or 1800 B.C. Code of Hammurabi: "builders
responsible for a structural collapse resulting in loss of
lifewould loose their lives."
Ancient Athens officials could condemn unsafe buildings
27 AD Rome: Amphitheater collapse results in laws about
public buildings
1189 London: The Assize ()محكمة of Buildings enacted
Required firewalls 3’thick and 16’ tall
1630 Boston: “no man shall build his chimney with wood
nor cover his roof with thatch.”
19. The Modern Building Code
Complex document
Protecting:
- building occupants,
- firefighters and emergency personnel,
- the building itself, and
- the community
From:
- fire
- structural collapse
- health and safety hazards
20. The Purpose of Building Codes
Provide
minimum standards
To safeguard
life, limb, health, property and public welfare
By
regulating the design, construction, quality of
materials, use and occupancy, location and
maintenance of all buildings within this
jurisdiction.
21. 2. Model Codes
• Thousands of American Municipalities
• First half of 20th century
• Building Officials and Code Administrators International
(BOCA): BOCA National Building Code
• International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO): Uniform
Building Code
• Southern Building Code Congress International
(SBCCI): Standard Building Code
22. Participants in Building Code Development
Building Officials
Fire Service Officials
Trade Associations and
Manufacturers
Engineers, Architects. Builders, and
Consultants
Governmental Agencies
2. Model Codes
23. 3. Adoption
• How model codes become law?
Local government adopt a model code
Some states adopt a statewide code
• Localities options
• Adopt one of the model codes
• Develop their own codes
• Do not adopt a code at all
24. 3. Adoption
Even if there is no code,
architects are expected to use
reasonable care in protecting health
and welfare.
25. 4. Coverage
• Specific design and construction requirements,
based on the occupancy, building height, floor
area, availability of fire-fighting capacity, and other
factors
• Required fire resistance of structural elements,
floor, ceilings, and fire and party walls
• Restrictions on building height
• Requirements for compartmentation (fire areas)
• Fire protection systems
• Flame-spread ratings for finishes
26. 4. Coverage
• Egress requirements, such as stairs, corridors,
and doors
• Access and egress requirements for disabled
persons
• Light, ventilation, and other indoor environment
requirements
• Requirements for energy conservation
• Structural requirements for building components
• Materials performance and specifications
• Requirements for building services systems
27. 5. Approaches
Code provisions may be written in one of two
ways:
– Prescriptive requirements: methods and
materials that must be used in the building (ex.
Wall thickness) … Preferred by building
officials …Easier to administer and enforce.
– Performance requirements: Desired results
(ex. Wall that withstand a certain amount of
wind load) … Preferred by architects …
Flexible
28. 6. Standards
• Standards by reference
• Provide consistent approaches to products and
processes.
• Manufacturing and Performance guidelines
developed by committees of those involved with
materials.
29. 7. Enforcement
• Done by
• Central agency
• Building Department
• Activities
• Review drawings
• Issue building permits
• Periodically inspect the project for
conformance
• Maintain public records
30. Jurisdiction القضائية السلطة
• Once the building is occupied, the fire marshal
assumes authority for continued safety.
• To compensate for confusion caused by
jurisdictional overlaps, the most conservative
advice is to design according to the most
restrictive requirements or to document any
permit deviations.
31. Multiple permits
A project may require several permits as it
proceeds.
Building permit: to begin construction
Other permits: to close in a structure or to begin
using plumbing or electricity
Certificate of Occupancy: Before building
may be occupied
32. Variances and appeals
–Administrative (non judicial process) ---
community boards البلدى اجمللس
–Seeking relief from requirements
through variances, exceptions, and
other mechanisms.
–Variance applies only to the situation at
hand; it does not create a precedent for
subsequent projects.
33. Judicial relief
– Through courts المحاكم
– Once administrative appeals are exhausted,
judicial relief can be sought.
• Penalties
Stop construction for noncompliance
Civil liabilities
Revocation of the license to practice architecture
Fine
Jail sentence !!!
34. 8. Other Building Regulations
Fire prevention codes and ordinances
Housing codes and ordinances
Health codes and ordinances (e.g. for restaurants
and social clubs)
Licensing requirements (e.g. for hospitals, nursing
homes, dry cleaners, and day care centers)
35. Codes in Design Practice
• The Architect's duty
– An architect failing to design in
compliance with the code or regulation
may be subject to an allegation of
negligence.
36. Codes in Design Practice
• Using building codes in practice
– The architect is challenged to fulfill the code's
requirements while considering the best
interests of the client's economic and
functional needs.
37. Codes in Design Practice
• An office practice suggestion:
Codes are factors in every project
Implementing code search process for each project
(checklist)
Teaching staff about code intention, approach, and
procedures
Encourage staff consultation with local building
officials to ascertain or clarify code issues
Including instructions in specifications requiring
contractor compliance with applicable codes
Developing code-related procedures
Including a code data sheet as part of the documents
38. Codes in Design Practice
• Code search
– To identify applicable codes, regulations, and standards
for the project.
– Code provision should be perceived as "ingredients"
and not an "optional" layer of information for design.
– Normally they allow multiple solutions
39. Codes in Design Practice
• Schematic design
–Codes provide fundamental design
parameters (site placement, building size,
height, and interior layout) as well as
design and construction details.
40. Codes in Design Practice
• Construction documents
–It is essential that all code requirements
be checked and incorporated into the
project as the project progresses through
design development into construction
documents.
