International Competitions in Architecture
Egypt is one of the oldest countries in the world and the treasures of architecture that is unique in its kind.
The reason for this is to field a strong link between the ancient and the modern world we create, And given that most of the buildings are built out of soil, The main goal of creating a close relationship with the land and eliminate the gap between yesterday and today the city of Cairo.
The analysis conducted on the site The original concept for the design of the main factors concept field include:
Egyption Museum
Mogamma Government building
El-Tahrir bridge
The main idea is to design a combination of two ideas, Following the passage of a gallery to honor the recent events in Egypt Because future generations are familiar with the Egyptian revolution.
It follows that the transition from ancient Egypt to the Field Museum and the entrance of the Egyptian Museum is, During the course of the person in the gallery and eventually reaches an output that has been in the field. And the output will be exactly Mogamma Government building , he reason for selecting the output arc that exists in the government building. It's called arc of freedom. In fact this is The people of Egypt after the revolution, the fate of an important historical figure of the country has The ultimate triumph of freedom and have and Dictators have been able to talk and listen to their government.
But its design field for more attention to the Egyptian Islamic architecture has been Because This type of architecture in Egypt has a lot of nodes Islamic and The main objective of the soil and Humanity is reaching its peak. Indeed The nodes represent the ups and downs Egypt And the essence of the Egyptian revolution is.
But In addition to the nodes in the design field and geometric lines Always In the maze of his lines are full of characters . In its plan, we tried To achieve the desired volume The full line of data In the 3D view. And taking advantage of the technology world And can make new structural materials Rover's deep link between tradition and technology.
And We carefully The project will be designed, view in plan Nodes are geometric But In the 3D view The volume of the node lines have long, In fact, the 3D view to Node.
In this volume Because Respect to the tents Protesters had to sit in the square foot ,The concrete shell is used And the tent Volumes The rotation has been.
Also Placed Center at work Water tank Because show Sacred struggle of the people of Egypt And torsional movements The volume and These moves revolving around the iconic tents, Eventually reach the essence of Revolution, And Reached the win.
Indeed When people move from plurality to unity and The people. And the revolutionary movement of people And ultimately to achieve a common goal..
But also tried to select materials This movement is well illustrated. This is the The concrete shell, which are opaque Finally Reach a transparent object.
The space around the field, They are also places to sit So that The structural frame is considered Who plays the role of the canopy.
