Abstract

Modern architecture theories trying to realize the environmental
concurrence. This by using the architectural elements that serving the
environment and helping the glass architectural facades to realize the
environmental concurrence of architecture as it can be considered as
ventilation areas, facilitating the changing of climate circumstances of
the inner space easily and organizing the natural light inside the inner
space.
Facade can be considered as an active coat changing its characteristics as
a response of the environmental circumstances inside and outside the
building to allow increasing or reducing light, air and temperature
according to the moment's conditions.
Whereas the relation between man and environment is representing on
(natural-artificial) environment and the occurred effects on the natural
environment and affecting the man's thought, and this may lead to
achievements serving several life fields. The modern architecture's
design should contain the regular thinking and planning before the
executive process for all works, whether this was a constructional,
Architectural or industrial works, or even if was plastic works. This
should be fits with the scientific and technological progress and to use
the concluded by the modern science.
Research's problem was concerned in:
 The need to activate the modern techniques in glass to use them in
the architectural glass facades.
 The need of glass facades designs gathering between originality and
contemporaneous can be implemented by the modern techniques in a
way fits with the Egyptian environment.
Research aiming to conclude:
To use the modern techniques in glass facades designs fit with the
Egyptian architectural environment.
Research important concerns in:
 To activate the modern techniques for designs developing the glass
facades and to fit with the Egyptian modern life's recent
developments.
