| Abstract | ||
| Façade's formation as an integrated system can be used in the acoustic protection process when effect on noise reflections and noise levels in urban streets. In order to know how to use façade morphology as an effective strategy for noise reduction, its elements should be well analyzed; for example: the impact of balcony shape, dimensions, and materials. Egyptian façade's patterns seem to be typically designs and rhythmic formation with their typical floors, balconies, and windows. The Egyptian code for construction determined some geometric parameters that organize the design process. As a result; this paper is considered an approach to determine the main geometric aspect of Egyptian residential façades through analyzing some cases of Egyptian residential projects, in order to be presented in future studies concerning in assessing noise propagation. | ||
