The activation of Glass Relief in Architectural Facades in Egypt

Abstract

Relief techniques consider one of the used techniques during the different times. That, such art was spread in the world's countries since the beginning of 19th century, as its implementation ways could be vary, some of such ways; Carborundum wheel relief, Diamond point relief, Drill or rotary relief, Copper wheel relief that covered with carborundum powder, and sandblast relief. Then at the 20th century, a new development has been occurred, this by using laser in glass engraving. The relief field needs to the availability of information on scientific and artistic basics of design and applying by the different mechanical ways and by using laser. The architecture in Egypt has several sources and schools as of the different civilizations that have been passed. The architectural facades in Egypt are exposing sometimes to the direct sun ray, the strong wind and dust, so we must choose types of the architectural covering and murals, in particular the relevant types with the external facades, as it must be carefully selected against the strength and the strong reflections that resulted from the beautification by the modern relief. Therefore, it could specify the research's problem: The need to save the scientific basics and technological data of the modern engraving methods on glass in a way fits with the Egyptian Architecture.
