    Integrative redesign of the cultural center in Tulkarm
    (2023) اسيل صالحي; مريم الياس; شفاء الشيخ
    Cultural center are cultural buildings of prominent importance in providing various artistic and cultural services, and their goal is to develop in the fields of music, auditorium, folk arts, and fine arts. Where culture and cultural institutions must be taken care of, because through them, real talents are attracted and people's energies and creativity are released, which express the culture of our nation and our belonging to our homeland, as well as openness to the world's civilizations and their cultures. Due to the lack of cultural institutions and centers in the West Bank in particular, this building was chosen for this study and analysis, and in support of culture and arts in the society. In general, the Cultural center includes an auditorium that can accommodate about 300 people, an outdoor open auditorium that can accommodate about 100 people, a cafeteria, a library, halls for lectures, seminars or meetings, a decoration workshop, and an administration department. there should be a large private garage that can accommodate at least 150 vehicles. And it is important that it contains elevators, an entrance for people with special needs. This project will be studied in two phases: the first phase is a graduation project 1 in which we study various aspects such as the architectural aspect using AutoCAD and Rivet and the rivet program was used to analyze the site, then the structural aspect by making checks through the SAP program, and then the environmental aspect by adding opening, shutters and double glazed walls, and in general improving the general condition of the building. This will be done by researching, reading books, questioning, and visiting a site or similar site. Then the second phase will be Project 2, where we will study the best architectural, construction and economic solutions for the project with the implementation of mechanical and electrical safety systems and public safety systems. To help achieve the required human comfort everywhere and in the building, the ecosystem will be designed including all kinds of acoustic, thermal, appropriate lighting, strategies or techniques for the solar energy and facade needed to transform an ordinary building into an environmentally friendly building. Other systems will be designed in the building, including plumbing, emergency escape routes, and air conditioning systems. The last stage of the project is to calculate the quantities and cost of the building. There are engineering problems between the different disciplines in the 24 | P a g e building, such as architectural problems with construction, and they occur through that each discipline is concerned with a specific matter. The architect is concerned with the external building shape, the beauty of the building and the orientation of the building, while the constructor is concerned with the solidity and durability of the building and the materials used in construction. A problem may occur in the columns or beams or slabs or footing, or structural problems with HVAC, and they occur through the distribution of HVAC pipes that conflict with the structural plan, or architectural problems with the environment, and they occur by not directing the building in the right way and not exploiting the facades of the building in the right way or construction problems with sewage extensions, which occur through conflicting sewage schemes with construction schemes. The project will contain a report that includes all design details and drawings

    Integrated design of a Bank building
    (2023) علي زواوي; مازن عبد الحق; ناصر ابو بكر
    Due to all the advantages and the role it plays in preventing future small or catastrophic consequences, integration design in buildings is a crucial component of any design stage in the modern building industry. The project we decided to work on is called "BANK." The primary factor that led to the selection of this project was its significance, particularly in light of the fact that banks have grown to play a significant role in Palestinian society and have altered the course of developing nations and contributed to their development. Because of their significance, banks must be made a comfortable and secure environment for both employees and visitors. This project presented us with a worthwhile challenge in creating an integrated. We found this project to be a good challenge in creating an integrated building design that manages to combine all aspects of the environmental, architectural, and structural design in the best possible way to achieve the highest level of energy efficiency and the best comfort for those who will use the building. This will allow the building to be environmentally friendly and be regarded as a green building. Along with ensuring that the initial cost of the building and the operating costs remain within the bounds of reason and even attempt to make it as low as we can, all these goals will be met. By comparing, modifying, and gathering data using engineering software programs like Revit and Design Builder as well as construction simulation programs like ETAB and SAP, we will assess the building and the site.

    Assessment and modification for an Administrative Building (Bank)
    (2023) وروود الحوح; محمد دراغمة; رهف علي
    In this project, an administrative building (Bank) that is designed by architectural department students in NNU, located in Rafidia -Nablus in Palestine, to assessment a design for (structural, environmental ,architectural, electrical, mechanical, fire, acoustical ) evaluation and improvement, to make sure that the design compliant for integrated design principles, then make a comparison between this project and standards and requirements that were collected for the same type of function of this building in the architectural field. After that, an environmental analysis was conducted to understand the nature of the building site and the main requirements of the building in order to obtain proposals for improving the building and then try to resolve the environmental problems it suffers from achieving the greatest degree of comfort for the users, then make a comparison of the building before and after the improvements. In the field of electro mechanics, many topics related to the building were designed based on the results obtained from programs in which the building is raised as a model, whether in terms of thermal or acoustic design or lighting in the building, whether natural or industrial lighting, HVAC system, fire suppression system in addition to Water, sanitation and energy design. In the structural part, the positions of the columns have been changed to suit the architectural functions of the building, and the building ability of working structurally as well, then make a structural model by using Etabs software to obtain some results for Equilibrium, Compatibility, and Stress-strain checks. Finally, after completing the previous stages, an estimated cost of the building was calculated in terms of materials and labor, and an estimate of the amount that will be spent on the project until it is complete.

    (2023) روان صلاحات
    In business sector, people spend most of their daytime at work and interact with others. Hence, the office buildings and commercial buildings should be design and equipped to be comfortable and suitable to serve all the employee’s needs. In addition to that, the good designing for commercial building can be considered as attraction point for shopping. This Graduation Project has been dealt with an integrated re-designing for an office building. The building has re-designed to be a multi-functional building that contain commercial, shopping and restaurants areas, since the property of the building is a private and it’s more efficient to design the building in that way. The main objective of this project is to design an office-commercial building that achieve safety, comfort and suitable atmosphere for its occupants and users starting with architectural modifications which ensure providing suitable areas and spaces for accommodate multi-functions there. While structural design is ensuring that the safety and serviceability is accepted in the structure. Whereas, the Environmental modifications are fulfilling the comfort with its various types such as thermal, acoustical, lightening and indoor air quality in the building. The building has been designed in an integrated manner between the all necessary engineering systems. To fulfill the aforementioned objective, it was necessary to make a deep analysis of the building, collect data about the spaces that must exist in this type of buildings as specifications and do comparison with case studies that functionally similar. As a result of the full analysis, the re-design process has been run directly to achieve all objectives of the building. The re-design process for all building aspects has been achieved using some computer software such as AutoCAD, Revit, Etabs, Design Builder, INSUL, EASE, DIALux, PVsyst and Lumion. To manage the redesign process in the best way, site analysis is the first step that allow the designer to realize the nature land topography and surrounding environment. On this redesign project, this step mainly affects on the environmental design, which include ventilation, natural lighting and acoustics. In addition, that affects on the internal distribution of the spaces. Architectural re-design is the second step that must totally done as standard and specifications to serve all building users. As for the structural design, it has been done according to soil structure and seismic analysis. At this stage some computer software are necessary to done a safely design. After that, it’s time for HVAC and mechanical design that includes drainage and water supply. These two systems are better to go in conjunction because some HVAC extensions will reach the mechanics pipes. Then, Electrical design has been introduced. It contains lighting, power and control panel design. Finally, building safety is very important, so fire system has been designed in all details such as emergency exits and alarm system. At the end of the project, the outputs of our project have been considered as an integrated re-design for all engineering systems without any conflict between them which recommended in this type of buildings. All results will be detail in a report, drawings and bill of quantity
