Abstract
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
