this idea is translated into categorizing the functions in to three main categories: 1-therapy (social & psychological) neutralizing the delin-quent juveniles. 2-rehabeletation (social, educational and vocational)transitional state which neutralized delinquents by modifying his behavioral pattern from neutral to positive state. 3-self express makes juvenile express himself and show his positive side as a member in the society and see how this program benefited him. social learning theory juvenile delinquency is the result of imitation of aggressive actions. placing an individual in favorable environment where he/she would be less tempted to imitate violent behavior. general strain theory the major causes of juvenile delinquency are aversive atmosphere at home an school. a society instills in its citizenry aspirations for upward mobility and a desire for selected goals. however, when legitimate avenues to goal attainment are blocked, anomie or strain sets in. behavioral theory: reinforcement or punishment or extinction should be treated for their special requirements in groups estab-lished according to their needs.

The main part of the building was the hospital and its placed parallel to the street were the other tow parts (emergency & out patients) were placed perpendicular on the edge of the hospital to be visible. The facades of the hospital reflect the order and functionality of the project. The elevations are simple, direct and linear.

sport hall I concept

p o r t f o l i o

a sport is about two teams aiming one goal, since sports hall needs only artificial light and/or indirect light, the design took this orienta-tion which perpendicular to the north. overcoming this challenge the structure of the building was separated in the middle and shifted to emphasize it, the southern part was raised higher than the northern avoiding direct sun rays. this shifting in the structure created two entrances to serve the function. the structure was covered by light material called ETFE foil panels, this material was chosen because its is durable, self clean and it is easily maintained.

Infra-structure layout was taken in consideration and given priority in location. Districts that supply the site (solar plates, water tanks, and wind-mills) was located at the highest point of the site. Recycling and waste areas where located on the lower point; where sewage is recycled and reused for green houses that surrounds that separates waste area from residential area. seef igure (6).
