Merging the Glass with the Ceramic Tiles, & using it for the Egyptian Architectural Coating

Abstract

Egypt with its different creeds and schools, its architecture was ever advances since the early times, then the Pharaoh's ruling (the ancient Egyptian) through building the tombs (the pyramids), temples, churches and mosques, after that a big recession has occurred in the Egyptian architecture, as there wasn't a distinct architecture could be appeared till the development of the global architecture has been appeared, used the technology, and the different environmental and climatologic became fitting with every building where they weren't before. The Egyptian architecture is exposing to a special climate such as the hot sunrays, dust and winds, all of them have an effect in the general features of the architecture that it could differ through the difference of the expedient values, the aesthetical environmental and religious requirements. That, through the current development and the technological advancement in the architecture, many architects has tried to confirm the appearance of new thought and forming for the Egyptian architecture react with the environment and to be related with the climate, but the architectural mural coating weren't in the required aesthetical value to react with the modern architecture. This motivated us to study how to obtain materials for the architectural coating fit with the Egyptian environment. It could found that the glass and its merging with the Ceramic by a modern technology and contemporary thought is satisfying the designing and expedient needs of the Egyptian architecture, where they consider from the important valid materials for such climate, for the architectural beautification and giving it a style has the time's philosophy and culture. Whereas the glass and Ceramic are important in many industries and products that known by the man, beside the natural touch and the manual sense in formation, and whereas the artistic creation needs to adapt new solutions with developed untraditional thoughts relate with scientific, technological and artistic limits to enable the artist to achieve the aesthetical features and the functional distinction for its works. Research Goal: The research determines some of the glass mixtures that have specified chemical, natural and mechanical characters and features to be merged in artistic and decorative formations with the made Ceramic times of Aswan's clay, and to use it to make a design fits with the architectural coating. Research Importance: It participates in the innovative development of the design and the architectural coating's field. It participates in the aesthetical development of the Egyptian architectural environment.
