Abstract
Municipality has always been an important part of every town, and city. Municipality is a magnificent stone
to achieve citizen’s interests, and needs. For example, it provides the service requirements in maintaining and
equipping roads, providing electricity and sanitation services, preparing public parks, opening health centers.
The aim of this project is to prepare an integrated design, including: structural, environmental, and
electromechanical aspects. The key in designing an integrated building is to take the best advantages of the local
climate performing an accurate site analysis.
In the Architectural and Environmental phase, the site location will be evaluated by gathering information
and referring to the literature, in order to meet the recommendations that compatible with the standards.
In the construction phase, the tasks that will be undertaken are ,distributing column, constructing a 3D
model of building using ETABS software to ensure safety, ,stability, and serviceability of the structure. The
model will consider seismic effects and dynamic loads.
Other fundamental building systems, such as Elecrto-Mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, Artificial lighting and
Acoustical, were designed in coordination with recommendations and standards
Designing of Integrated Municipality encourages employees to produce more. Moreover it will be
distinguished by further concentrating more on the architectural-environmental aspect of the design. The project
will conclude by a report of all design detail and drawings.
