Al-Azhar Park Project Location: Cairo, Egypt Owner: The Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) Project Area: 75 acre Discipline/Services: Master Planning. Landscape Architecture. Architecture. Engineering. Site Supervision/Project Management
The Aga Khan Trust for Culture appointed Sites International as the lead consultant to develop and design the final master plan, landscape architecture, selected architecture and site supervision/project management of Al Azhar Park. The 74–acre site is uniquely situated amidst the splendor of Old Cairo, atop a 500 year old landfill and is defined along its western boundary by the 800 year old Ayyubid wall. The design theme is derived from the contextual Islamic heritage of Old Cairo and the design intent is to provide green open space for the densely populated city. The master plan centers on a major pedestrian spine that extends north–south, linking the topographically–varied landscape elements of the Park. Furniture and lighting fixtures were custom designed by Sites International, using local artisans from a nearby quarry district. Al Azhar Park, now a Cairo landmark, was instrumental in the development of environmental awareness and a better understanding of the profession of landscape architecture in Egypt. The Park’s diverse planting material is a valuable educational resource for botany and horticulture students. Throughout the design process, Sites International was mindful of sustainable design issues. Native and adaptive trees and shrubs were used to provide shade and heat relief and the irrigation system uses raw water from the Nile. Al Azhar Park transformed one of the poorest, most populous and historically rich parts of Cairo into a sustainable open space, stimulated social and economic development and generated revenues exceeding operational and maintenance costs.

Al-Giza Park Project Location: Giza, Egypt Owner: General Central Development Authority Project Area: 38 acre Discipline/Services: Master Planning. Landscape Architecture. Architecture. Engineering. Site Supervision
The Giza Governorate invited Sites International to convert part of a former airport into a 38–acre park for the densely populated district of Embaba. The design theme reflects Egypt’s major ecological zones: Nile River, valley, oases and hills. The architecture of the park buildings evokes the rich and diverse aesthetics of the different ecological zones through distinct vocabularies, motifs, building typologies, materials and finishes. The Nile’s centrality to Egyptian life is represented by a stream that originates at the visitors’ entrance and winds through the entire site, connecting all the park activities. The oasis occupies a secluded area, offering a peaceful zone covered with palm groves surrounding a central water spring. Among the highlights of the park are boat rides, re–created agricultural fields and waterwheels.

When the Governorate of Cairo embarked on a major greening effort for the capital, Sites International was asked to lead several of their projects. Al Seka al-Beda Park is one of the endeavors located in a heavily congested urban community. The 10-acre park features a children’s playground, service areas, strategically-located pergolas surrounded by colorful groundcovers, major promenades and water features connecting various areas of the park. The focus is a centrally-located sun dial. All walkways radiate from it and all plazas and common spaces revolve around it. Selected for its aesthetic, historical, and educational value, the sun dial also acts as a major water feature attraction. Other highlights include a historical brick smoke stack, which was integrated into the park design and custom-designed, carved stone furniture that serve as art displays where visitors can enjoy a quiet meal or just relax.

The Cataract Aswan Hotel is one of the finest and most famous historical and luxury hotels, built in the late 19th century atop a granite hill at the Nile River edge in Aswan, Egypt. As part of the major hotel renovation plan of the Egyptian General Company for Tourism and Hotels (EGOTH), Sites International was entrusted with the master plan and landscape architecture design. Given the splendor of the site and its breathtaking location, the design reflected elements of the interior and exterior architecture in the courtyards, terraces and gardens, sensitive to the natural, built and historical context.

Nabq Touristic Center Project Location: Sinai, Egypt Owner: Ministry of Tourism – Tourism Development Authority Discipline/Services: Master Planning.
The Ministry of Tourism invited Sites International to prepare a master plan for a 2700-acre major touristic center adjacent to the Nabq Conservation, located on the eastern coast of the Sinai Peninsula. Nabq represents the Gulf of Aqaba’s largest coastal conservation and is a touristic magnet, with 600 km2 of protected virgin landscape sheltering a variety of ecosystems. The diverse landscape features deserts, mountains and valleys. The Tourist Center will be developed over two decades in four phases. The master plan hosts a variety of hotels, chalets, apartment units, retail and recreational facilities, and services to attract investors across the socioeconomic spectrum. Residential accommodations for the on-site labor force were also incorporated in the plan. The master plan made use of the natural plateau of the landscape, keeping buildings inland in order to maximize panoramic views and access to the Gulf of Aqaba and the two islands of Teran and Sanafeer. Streetscapes, plazas, ample green spaces and shaded trails are located throughout the site. When the project is completed, over 25,000 hotel rooms will be available in addition to chalets and apartment units.

The American University in Cairo Project Location: New Cairo, Egypt Owner: American University in Cairo (AUC) Discipline/Services: Revised Master Planning. Landscape Architecture. Site Supervision
Sites International, working closely with multiple international and local firms, developed a master plan and landscape design for the 260–acre New Cairo campus of this notable university. Sites International played a key role in technical site coordination/site supervision. The design vision for the site is a tightly–knit learning environment that encompasses indoor and outdoor spaces. The central spine serves as the backbone of the campus, while geometrically–configured architectural features in the form of gateways, plazas and courtyards, subtly introduce new spaces along the course of the spine. Sustainability was central to all facets of the project. Every landscape decision was made with a limited irrigation water budget in mind. Sites International created a catalogue of planting material used in their design for future use by the community and in the classroom. The landscape as a whole is an environmental showcase for the best of things Egyptian in an institution that uniquely brings together what is American and Egyptian.

New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Project Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Owner: New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Discipline/Services: Landscape Architecture.
NYUAD is a comprehensive liberal arts campus scheduled to open in 2012. Sites International prepared the landscape master plan and design guidelines with the intent of creating an oasis-like haven for students and staff. The highly urbanized campus and extensive building land coverage posed a real landscape design challenge. Almost all landscaping is built on roofs, including parking garages, academic buildings and student / staff housing. Extensive studies were conducted to respond to the extremely hothumid climate of Abu Dhabi. Native and adaptive plant species were selected. Hardscape materials with minimum heat gain were specified. The design provides sheltered and shaded areas for students’ outdoor use. Roof gardens play both an aesthetic role and minimize heat gain through the roofs of buildings.

Nubian Museum Project Location: Aswan, Egypt Owner: Supreme Council of Antiquities Discipline/Services: Master Planning. Landscape Architecture.
The Nubian Museum, recipient of the 2001 Aga Khan Award for Architecture, is a true illustration of landscape architecture that is sensitive to site topography and context. In the late 1980s, UNESCO sponsored the establishment of a museum to display the history, culture and heritage of the Nubian people. The museum rests on a unique hilltop site overlooking the Nile River city of Aswan. Sites International’s design concept centers on creating several themed outdoor display areas and includes a long stream representing the Nile River as it flows through Egypt. The stream symbolically starts in the topographically rough landscape of ‘Upper Egypt’, descends through several cataract style waterfalls and ends in the ‘Lower Egypt Valley’ with palm trees and greens of the Delta. The 43,000 m2 site contains numerous indigenous plants spread over natural rocks. An amphitheater is carved out of the steep adjacent slopes. A small Nubian village street brings Nubian culture and daily activities to life.

Neglected for nearly a century, the Ministry of Culture recently embarked on a renovation effort. Sites International worked with the Ministry to restore the original palace layout, accentuate existing planting with specially cultivated trees and shrubs and introduce site furniture, water features, lighting and public toilets. The new landscape design pays tribute to the historical site and gives due attention to the Nile River bordering the site.

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) Project Location: Gizah, Egypt Owner: Ministry of Culture Discipline/Services: Landscape Architecture.
The Grand Egyptian Museum Project, supported by UNESCO, fittingly neighbors the timeless wonder of the Giza Pyramids. The museum pays homage to Ancient Egyptian monuments, treasures and historic contributions to civilization in a 480,000 m2 state-of-the-art complex that serves as a scientific, educational and cultural resource. Sites International partnered with the winning international teams in developing the landscape architecture for the parks, piazzas, colonnades and retail space. The parks provide an outdoor complement to the indoor museum, re-telling the story of Egypt through the land. One of the many outdoor parks depicts Egypt’s agriculture from ancient times to present. True to the museum’s enchanting location, the landscape design intent complements, advances, and reflects Egypt’s rich historical heritage.

Beit Al-Hana Residential Districts Project Location: Egypt Owner: IGI Real Estate Discipline/Services: Master Planning.
The rapidly expanding Egyptian population calls for moderately priced housing in well planned, new communities outside metropolitan Cairo. Sites International designed the master plan for Beit al Hana, a 145-acre, self- sufficient community that combines residential, retail and community facilities in a green neighborhood. The project transformed an underutilized area into an active and energized residential environment. Multiple open landscaped areas soften the potentially grid-like feel of apartment buildings and roadways.
