| Abstract | ||||
| This research aims to redesign the lower promenade of the Corniche in the city of Minya, a vital yet underutilized area despite its unique environmental and social potential. The study highlights the role of the interior architect in enhancing outdoor spaces by integrating sustainable design elements and local identity into an interactive architectural vision. A practical methodology was adopted, supported by analysis of international and local precedents, such as “Paris Plages” and “Ahl Masr Walkway,” to propose a series of design interventions, including river docks, open and covered swimming pools, a sandy beach, an open-air theatre, kiosks, and seating areas. These solutions contribute to activating the riverfront and improving residents’ quality of life. The findings emphasize the importance of embedding cultural and social dimensions in waterfront design and advocate for the inclusion of interior architects in urban planning projects due to their ability to create visual and functional balance that supports sustainable city development. | ||||
