Abstract
This project is an integrated design of Tulkarem shopping complex. It consists of 10 floors, with
an area (2200-2800) square meters for each. It is located in the city of Tulkarem. It consists of
shops, offices, parking lots and a gym.
This project is an integrated design of Tulkarem shopping complex. It consists of 14 floors, with
an area (2200-2800) square meters for each. It is located in the city of Tulkarem. It consists of
shops, offices, parking lots and a gym.
The project consists of two phases; the first phase is a literature review, in which a comparison
was made between the global standard and the current design. It has been found that there is a
defect in the parking design and the number of bathrooms on the ground and first floor, and there
is no shaft in addition to the absence of emergency exits. The schemes were modified and the
required elements were added according to the standard global. In addition to the above, the
building was analyzed and studied environmentally to determine the extent of its impact on the
neighboring buildings and the internal environment in the building.
The second phase: the plans were prepared and accordingly the structural system was designed in
addition to the design of mechanical installations of all kinds (HVAC, sewage, elevators and
water) and as for the electrical installations, lighting and fallow units were distributed and
electrical loads were calculated. The building was also studied from an environmental point of
view in terms of sound insulation and thermal project for the project and then calculates the
quantities and estimates the cost of the project.
Finally, an integrated design for the building was obtained that achieves compatibility and
interdependence between architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical designs.
