Delta Museum for science and technology
Project idea
The Delta Museum for Science and Technology is affiliated to Mansoura University. It includes 4 exhibition halls divided between natural and industrial sciences. It also includes a research center (MUVP), the Mansoura Center for Vertebrate Fossils, the first of its kind in the Middle East, and the discoverer of the Mansourasaurus dinosaur.. The goal of the museum is to simplify science and present it in different ways that suit different age groups, especially Researchers and scientific research support at the university.
Project description
The main concept of the museum is based on reducing the building ratio to take into account the percentage of green areas in the land previously, until it reached 10% in the ground floor. Through the vertical extension, you find the research center and the main exhibition hall on the lower level as a simulation of the process of discovering fossils. The ceiling of the ground floor was integrated into the general site as an extension of it and serves as outdoor and shaded exhibition areas.. The exhibition halls were also placed on the upper floors in the sequence established by the project (simulating the museum journey).
Technical information
The architectural design, which is very challenging in terms of structural engineering, was done using a steel-concrete construction and a system of diagonal steel and concrete supports.
