Exploring Liminal Spaces by Slidesgo

The Badya Palm Hills residential project in Sheikh Zayed, Egypt aims to create a sustainable and smart city for 150,000 inhabitants. The 3,000 hectare development will include residential units on the 1,260 hectare site. In the creativity phase, project members proposed solutions like using windcatchers for ventilation, electric transportation like minibuses, installing photovoltaic screens, greywater recycling, and closed waste containers. These solutions were evaluated based on criteria like applicability, maintenance, cost efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Greywater recycling, closed containers, and PV screens scored highest. The fast diagram then showed how these solutions contribute to sustainability through reducing water and energy consumption and waste.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 

The mixed-use development Badya City is part of the 6th of October City 
and is located approximately 30 kilometers west of Cairo within the strategic city
extension area. 

A user-oriented, sustainable and smart city of short distances for about 150,000 inhabitants


and about 48,000 jobs is planned on the approximately 1,260 hectare site.

01. can  reduce water consumption
04. achieve the same function.
PRIMARY   when it is used for irrigation
SECONDARY  
• Sewage sludge contains harmful residues such • Less root growth -> no structural
as bacteria, worm  viruses, hormones problems 
& medicines. • Less   evaporation  
• reducing water consumption

Electric Mains  Electricity is an integral part of our lives, Transportation and Mobility
as most inventions are based on it • Used for transportation.
• Run on electricity therefore
02.   05. sustainable.
PRIMARY • Light, heating and cooling SECONDARY   • Providing a mobile car to every
resident is a luxury not a necessity
• Long economic life
• Entertainment and operating all the & can be very costly, therefore it’s
appliances. a secondary function.

Roof Usage  The project can withstand without the native plants

comfort space for the user+ its main
functions
06.  
SECONDARY
• Reduce the use of water by at least
60%
• Does not require maintenance
•  spaces for solar panels
• Can withstand drought
• Used as a sports areas
• Does not require chemical fertilizers
• Gathering space
DEVELOPMENT PHASE (ALTERNATIVE 3):
Reduction of energy demand by green buildings
Criteria Proposal 1: Building Envelope Proposal 2: Building Geometry 

Current Design • Enlarge the window sizes  more natural lighting enters 
less artificial light used & more energy saved  Simple square shaped villas or houses, non-sustainable ratio of shell & floor
• Shading devices: overhangs (vertical or horizontal
depending on orientation
• building orientation ​improved envelope (roof,
walls, windows improved)
Proposal 
• U-values of walls, windows and roofs ​
• ​SHGC of glazings ​
• pale colours of walls, roofs & built environment
•  ​building shape / compactness Building shape:
For the villa the H-shape is compared to a
rectangular shape of comparable floor area. ​

Advantages
• ​H-Shaped design increases transmission because of increased
envelope area. 

• H-Shaped design provide privacy.

Disadvantages

• ​Higher cost to change the form from regular to h shaped
