Abstract
Commercial buildings are central to the various fields of use, and their presence has
become essential, especially with the rapid pace of massive progress in Palestine and
population increase. A commercial building in Ramallah was selected as our
graduation project.
The building has been designed in an integrative way in which safety, comfort, and
aesthetic standards are achieved in all aspects of the design, including structural,
environmental, and electromechanical systems.
The project aims to assess the architectural and environmental aspects of the
commercial building according to code requirements and considerations. In addition to
analyzing the site in terms of public safety and emergency exits, and ensuring the
readiness of the building in case of fire. It also aims to design the building primarily
from a structural, electromechanical, and environmental point of view
The structural design involves creating a 3D model using the computer program
ETABS and the seismic load will be taken into account in the design. The
electromechanical design includes wastewater, water, electrical, and light socket
design. The project is also a quantitative survey to estimate the cost of the building.
The building was designed in two main phases during the 2021-2022 school year
The first stage involved research, information gathering, and analysis of all previously
designed schemes. In addition, information on the design parameters of this type of
building was collected.
The second phase involves re-designing the building based on the information
collected in the first phase, with the aim of achieving a safer and more comfortable
building in all aspects.
The project will conclude with a report of all design details, architectural, structural,
electrical, and mechanical drawings, and a quantitative survey of the building.
