摘要

Urban design is mainly about connecting people and places, movement and urban form, nature and the built fabric. Hence, one of the aims of urban design should always be that humans lie in the focal point of the design and not only technical infrastructure or buildings. Egyptian public spaces play an important role to activate demonstrators socially and even politically, inspiring the whole world. Public squares were and still are playing a valuable role in political changes all through the country. Urban spaces have different impacts on humans' feelings and perception. Those feelings are affected directly and indirectly through urban settings, human masses or crowds, topography, distance, weather, etc. This leads to the need of developing new methods to measure the feelings of people in urban spaces. "SMART-Bands" are ambulatory assessment devices that measure how people feel in their city and how they react to the surrounding built and non-built environments. These devices can measure body parameters in real-time, like skin temperature, skin conductance and heart rate, as indicators for human emotions. This paper presents a human urban experience on one of the protesting events in Alexandria using "SMART-Bands" as a tool for collecting protestors' feelings. The case study covers one of the major arteries of the city, with its variations of width, topography, and street furniture. It documents the whole experience of two different participants walking within the crowds, and living the whole experience with changing weather conditions, crowd density, and street settings. This experimental research is considered as a pilot stage for similar in-depth studies that could lead to a new way of thinking about urban planning and public participation.
