Abstract There has been a growing public dissatisfaction with the visual impact of the built environment in the local cairene context in the past few decades. from several observations in Cairo, it is obvious that architects lack considering compatibility in context. Yet the research main problem states that; although architects and urban designers are aware of contextual compatibility; there is a lack of a tangible analysis for assessing and evaluating contextual compatibility in different cairene settings. Despite the literature investigations that admit façade components have the strongest effect on compatibility judgements; the research main aim is to prove that all contextual design categories (site organization, mass, façade features) have strong effect to reach all types of contextual compatibility compatibility due to visual continuity, compatibility through meaning and association, compatibility as a reflection of history |
