- ItemIntegrated Redesign of Hebron Municipality(2024) طارق سلامه; بانه صالحي; دلال حسنيA “municipality "is a governmental and essential sector in every city, it has a major role in economic and social terms, and it has great responsibilities to provide all services to individuals in a comfortable and effective way, in this project the of the Hebron Municipality will be redesigned in all respects, in order to obtain an integrated building. Information will be collected first through research and review of literature and books that cover subject and an integrated building will be built in terms of re-designing and modifying architectural plans, and environmental analysis, then choosing a structural system that suits the modifications and design. Architectural modification will be done first, which includes space and direction of spaces, and environmental design it includes natural and artificial lighting, sound systems, and natural and mechanical ventilation as well. Then the appropriate structural design will be made, taking into account the seismic and economic aspects, this is followed by the mechanical design which includes refrigeration systems, air conditioning, water and sewerage installations, then some costs will be calculated, all of which will be done through the use of some basic programs as AutoCAD, Revit and Etabs, and some programs on environmental aspects in particular. All these studies and challenges between the different architectural, structural, environmental and mechanical disciplines, and how to find appropriate solutions and designs that are appropriate and compatible with all disciplines and the interdependence between them, and this compatibility produces a fairly integrated building and reduces problems after implementation
- ItemIntegrative redesign of bank institution in Nablus(2024) اسلام مرشد; محمد مرعي; مهدي فتوح; عبيده حسينA bank is an institution that mainly deals with money related activities and provides plenty of financial services. Also, a place with high security standards for people to deposit their money safely. Banks deals with checks and gives out loans for aiding people in need. As a result of that, banks are considered one of highest value buildings in any city/town. To understand the functions of a bank and how it operates thoughtfully, you have to acknowledge how every space included in the bank functions. Examples of the spaces in a bank, a conference room, meeting room, employee offices, safe rooms, etc... Most banks do not follow the guidelines and standards of an integrated design, that requires certain international standards and regulations to achieve. Exceptionally high Security measures should be applied to the bank, considering that banks are high value buildings. However, unfortunately banks generally don’t implement high security measures in design, which leads to higher risks of thievery and robbery. Other issues related to bank designs, space proportions/distribution, parking spaces, and waiting areas, etc.... the main objective in this project: To design integrally taking into consideration, architectural, environmental, structural, economical, and safety aspects of the building. In order to achieve such goal a certain methodology had been followed. At the beginning, site analysis and literature review are performed gathering all information related to bank institutions, by reading educational books and articles, conducting a number of surveys to receive expertise advice. After gathering all the information needed. The procedure of achieving a fully integrated designs have been divided into a variety of steps. First of all, the architectural aspect has been improved including space dimension, distribution, and orientation using AutoCad programme. Consequently, the environmental aspect has been analyzed, by revising the topography of the building, buildings nearby to calculate shading and to achieve maximum comfort (checked by Revit programme/design builder). After that, structural checks and analysis have been performed to ensure stability throughout programs like SAAP and Etabs. Mechanical systems like HVAC, water supply and pipe distributions, have been taken into consideration to avoid any conflict with other systems, and achieve fully integral design. Then, electrical systems have been proposed including cabling and lighting distribution, power systems, and control panels which is achievable by using the DIALUX program. Last but not least, safety measurements like fire exits, firefighting systems, escape routes, and alarm systems are included in the aspect of safety design. In conclusion, an integrated design had been achieved following the standard of a regular bank, using various designing applications: AutoCAD, is used to design the building in 2D to confirm if the standards and regulations are met. Revit. is used to view the building in 3D which gives a different perspective of the design. Also used in some environmental checks. SAAP, ETABS, SAFE, will be used to check if the building is structurally stable. DIALUX, is used for lighting distribution and coverage. ECOTYCT,INSUL,EASE, is used to design for acoustical comfort.

The redesign will encompass various critical aspects, including the implementation of robust security measures to safeguard employees and assets, optimizing spatial layout for efficiency and functionality, and providing amenities that foster a collaborative and innovative work environment. Ultimately, the goal is to create a commercial building that not only facilitates business operations but also enriches the professional experience of its occupants, promoting success and well-being within the workplace. • To design integrally taking into consideration, architectural, environmental, structural, economical, and safety aspects of the building. To attain such objectives for a commercial building, a structured methodology will be employed. The process begins with thorough site analysis and extensive literature review, gathering insights from educational resources and expert opinions in the field of commercial real estate. Following this, a series of steps will be delineated to realize a fully integrated design. Firstly, attention will be given to enhancing the architectural aspects, focusing on space dimensions, distribution, and orientation, utilizing tools like AutoCAD to refine the layout efficiently. Subsequently, the environmental considerations will be meticulously examined, assessing factors such as topography and neighboring structures to optimize natural lighting and shading, thus ensuring maximum comfort for occupants. This assessment will be validated using advanced software like Revit. Additionally, structural checks and analyses will be conducted to guarantee the safety and stability of the building, adhering to established standards and regulations stability throughout programs like SAAP and Etabs. Mechanical systems like HVAC, water supply and pipe distributions, will be taken into consideration to avoid any conflict with other systems, and achieve fully integral design.

- ItemRedesign Al-Nabali and Al-Faris residential building(2024) براء فقيه; شهد حجاب; ركان ايوب; اسماء كوكشResidential buildings are an essential reflection of the needs, desires and cultures of the population. They differ in form, style, size and function. There are individual houses, residential apartments, dormitories and hotels, and from here we find a difference in the time of residence, whether permanent or temporary. In this project, an integrated redesign was carried out for a residential building in the city of Ramallah, which is the Al-Nabali and Al-Faris building. The building consists of seven floors, five of which are residential. The floor contains five residential apartments, in addition to two parking floors. After improvements and modifications to the Graduation Project (1), the project became ten floors, eight of which were residential apartments, with four apartments on each floor, in addition to two parking floors. In Project (1), five main aspects were considered: architectural, structural, environmental, electromechanical, and quantity estimation. Moreover, the main defects were found and possible improvements were made to achieve the overall comfort of the residents by covering thermal, acoustic and visual comfort as well as the ventilation system. On the architectural side, the movement inside the building was studied and the functional movement was carried out, in addition to studying the (architectural analysis chart). Also from an environmental standpoint, we used 3D simulation software such as Revit that studies many factors affecting the building, such as daylight and thermal comfort. In this project, an evaluation review of what was implemented in Project (1) will be conducted, delving into precise details in the calculations, and creating comprehensive design and implementation plans based on the integration of all engineering aspects and cost calculations, including the lowest cost, the least time, and the best quality. These procedures will be done through approved scientific engineering references and codes and applied to manual calculations, engineering simulation programs, or engineering design programs.
- ItemIntegrated redesign Ledawi Building(2024) ملك شولي; ليالي ابو ليل; رايه حسونThe project is a commercial and residential building located in Nablus overlooking the main Rafidia Street. The land area is 2240 m2. The project contains 11 floors with a total area of 10948.5 m2. It consists of shops, showrooms, offices, residential apartments and parking lots. The importance of this project lies in the fact that it includes different spaces in one building and has a strategic location as it is located on a main street and two side streets. It contains an integrated design that is important for comfort in the buildings. Through this project, the architectural, structural and environmental design was evaluated and analyzed, and the distribution of spaces, their dimensions and facilities were verified, and whether they are suitable for the required standards or not. The relationship of the project to the direct buildings and the extent of its impact on them were studied, and the regular exits and emergency exits were verified if they were added, and the garages were verified if they were effective. In addition, the building was designed with an integrated electrical, mechanical, fire, and acoustic design to make the building compatible with the principles of integrated design. In the construction part of the project, the columns positions were changed to suit the architectural functions of the building and the building's ability to function structurally, then a structural model was made using ETABS to obtain some results for the equilibrium, compatibility, stress and strain tests. In the field of electromechanics, many systems related to the building have been designed based on the results obtained from the programs that are used in evaluating and designing the building in the thermal, acoustic, and lighting systems in the building, whether natural or artificial lighting, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, and the fire extinguishing system, in addition to the design of water, sewage, and energy. In the final stage, after completing the evaluation and design process, the estimated cost of the building was calculated in terms of materials and labor, and the amount that will be spent on the project until its completion was estimated.
