Safety measures Criteria in buildings and its impact on


architectural design
(Al-Quds Educational building at IUG as a case study)
Abstract:
Safety measures in buildings present a collection of works mainly aims at curbing
human and financial loses in case of emergency, so that it is limited to the least
affected places with minor possibility of dispersal. The safety measures are
completely influenced by building designer, as he can increase the efficiency of
these measures, which leads to the increase of the building's function as a whole.
It is obvious that fire fighting is one of the main topics related to safety measures in
buildings. This should have the designer attention as it concerns human lives and
properties. This piece of information should be conveyed as compulsory design
criteria instead of being general concepts which the designer may not follow.
This study aims to investigate these measures and its impact on architectural
design. The author takes one of the Islamic University of Gaza (IUG) educational
buildings as a case study (Al-Quds Building). The paper concluded several
recommendations to be followed by architects during the designing process, which
lead to successful implantation of these measures.
