Abstract

This research deals with the integration of parametric vocabulary 
with external urban spaces in new cities and their forms. The 
research also aims to find an evaluation strategy through which 
the evaluation of the local identity in the open urban squares in 
these cities is measured or the effect of imparting parametric 
vocabulary to them, where the outer urban space is defined and 
how it is formed, and then an overview is provided for the main 
specific elements of the urban space. In addition to moving to the 
concept of the form of space, through which existence is 
achieved, the physical void that man perceives with his senses, 
affects his feelings and directs his behaviour. The research also 
presented the expressive value of the forms of urban spaces.
Parametric architecture is also a generating tool in architectural 
and urban design for developing features and vocabulary that simulate urban spaces. The research attempts to reach quality 
indicators that interact with environmental life to improve 
Egyptian societies and then create a heritage identity adapted to 
the environment. The research aims to study and analyse the
heritage identity in parametric terms and technological 
developments to change the shape of new cities in general and 
the formation of their urban spaces in particular and to reach the 
goals and standards that control the shape of urban space in a 
new way. Cities and their application to urban spaces in 
residential areas in new cities in Egypt.
