Consideration to Teach the Reactive Glass Architecture Design in Egypt

Abstract

The scientific and technological development could participate in the field of the architecture design to the prevalence of new materials in performance. This like the glass with its properties and new types that realizing the expedient and aesthetical values. That, since the end of the twentieth century and when the expression of nanotechnology has been appeared and produced glass has several properties (anti-dust, self-cleaning, non- heat conductor, reflective & reinforced glass) all of those are properties have efficiency and reactivity fit with he prospective architecture and new trends, as the fade, transparency and crystallized architecture that reveal the surrounded environment, in particular in the monumental areas. This made Egypt's artists and architects generate the need to design Egyptian's architecture realizing the transparency feature, keeping the solar energy and using it to limit from its problems, then to react with the environment and user, whether such reaction was direct or indirect reaction. So, it was necessary to find educational scientific method to design the glass architecture in Egypt in a way conserves the architecture's form and the Egyptian signification fits with he modern designing, the best using of technology and the environmental goal in the Egyptian architecture. The research issue: is concerning in not pay attention to the modern designing thought of the glass architecture or to be interested with the heritage architecture and teach it the academic education or couldn't use the advanced technology in materials, particularly for the glass and its features in the Egyptian architecture. Research Goals: the research aims to reach to a way to specify he considerations of the reactive glass architecture design by applying the technology and find learning methods conform with the trends in a way fits with the Egyptian environment, confirming the identity in designing and confirming the aesthetical feature in modern Egyptian vision and thought. Research Steps: 1. Using the philosophy of teaching the glass architecture through untraditional method goes away in the first idea from the used conveniently and considerations when designing the architecture generally. 2. Confirming the designing vision of the glass architecture through the information technology effect on the philosophy, concept, revealing and treating the imaged design by computer. 3. Focus on the advanced technology of the used glass in architecture and glass structures. *Professor
