Architecture Design "pavilion"

Faculty of Fine Arts, Alexandria University in Alexandria

Project idea

-CONCEPT GENERATION
The formal proposition is inspired by a Möbius strip, where twisting and folding of a ribbon results in one single surface, with no beginning and no end, symbolizing an infinity, and in the particular context of ‘cradle to cradle’, the circular economy. The pavilion is modeled and organized around this principle, while partial optimization of the width of a ribbon creates a needed shade and protection.

-LOCATED IN..
The New Administrative Capital (NAC) community in Cairo Governorate, Egypt and a satellite of Cairo City

Project description

The visitor is moving between inner and outer protective skins, hence the feeling of being in and out at the same time. The proportions of the space change constantly, in terms of width, height, depth, view, perspective. Due to its very particular and unique landscape.
