8 I NTERNATIONAL Dr. Maher Stino Dr. Laila El Masry Master Planning Landscape Architecture Architecture Engineering Site Supervision/Project Management Al-Azhar Park 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.

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.

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.
