Materials & Processing Technology
Materials used:
Great emphasis was placed on the use of natural materials such as stone and wood in addition to plants (green color)
Various studies have also proven the importance of plants and green spaces on the mental health of humans, this person, who used to live in the past in open environments, and had direct relations with nature, now finds himself in closed rooms for a period that may exceed 80% of his day, a simple look at a green space may relieve the psychological pressure that he may be exposed to during his day, whether at work or contact with people, or in his home and living with his daily problem, and the results of the studies showed that A person who is exposed to certain pressures may be positively affected when exposed to a natural environment and the trees and plants it contains, but it was found that his high blood pressure may decrease and reduce muscle tension.

It is an Egyptian city and oasis in the Western Desert, about 300 km from the Mediterranean coast to the southwest of Marsa Matrouh, and administratively follows Matrouh Governorate. Wells and springs that are used for irrigation, drinking, natural water bottling and treatment are spread throughout it, and it has four major lakes, while several archaeological sites have been discovered in it, such as the Temple of Amun, which witnesses the phenomenon of the spring equinox twice a year, and the tombs of the Mount of the Dead, and declared a nature reserve with an area of 7800 km, which includes several types of animal and plant life forms. The oasis is home to approximately 35,000 people, most of whom work in agriculture or tourism. The desert continental climate prevails in the oasis, as it is very hot in summer, while winters are warm during the day and very cold at night
Interior Renderings
A reception consisting of waiting sessions and a reception counter to receive cases and visitors. Light colors were used to give the place a sense of calm and because it is the first entrance for the patient, so the focus was on the design in calm colors and materials devoid of details.
in order to break the poverty of natural materials, a shiny material was used in the floor, ceiling and part of the column to reduce the dullness and monotony of the design.
