The project main goal was to design a library for Cairo University new branch.
The Project Main Elements:
- Library / Reading Area
- Administration
- Book Storage
- Exhibition
- Main Lecture Hall
- Small Seminar Rooms
- Rear Books Area
- Labs & Groups Work-spaces
- Multimedia Rooms



My main focus in the design process was to design a building as simple as possible to create a quiet and focus environment for reading and study.
Using the daylight inside the reading areas was a very important focus too, the perspective can explain how I managed to do that.


The project as a modeling and rendering was done completely using Autodesk Revit.
Every furniture element (families) picked carefully to fit its purpose.
I also used Photoshop for a simple post production in the main shot and to add description and lines on the 3D zoning study.

To complete this project in the right way I had to study more about designing the libraries and educational buildings.
It was a great chance to have this interesting study, I hope I get the chance to design more educational buildings in the future.
