The site needs the crafts centre to improve the cultural awareness of the people, and to learn new crafts to find other job to be able to live good life.The project contains separate and privet workshops for the ladies and children also to learn new crafts to get in with the society and the future.The project tends to simulate the historical back ground by capturing events and memories of different eras through apathy resembling the timeline.I’m focusing on the humanism (fisherman) and how to design a suitable functional area with the respect of his culture and his own habits and how to raise his social and economic level. With respect of their daily gatherings where they'd get to meet and interact and keep in touch with each other and that shows in the outdoor workshop in the Crafts Centre, also respecting the spirit of the El Max that called Venice of Alexandria.Also respecting the Grid of the new proposal for the site with grid of 16*16 meters to be attached in the planning.At the end the projects open new chances for the people live there to work new crafts and learn everything, the outdoor spaces in the site help to be recreational area for the whole neighbourhood.
