352 project (2) final posters
DESCRIPTION
The objective of this project is to experiment with the expressive qualities of architecture through form. Using the 25th of Jan revolution as inspiration, it was required to design a pavilion on the AUC Campus to house the archive that include (photographs, videos, documentaries, art-work from the site....etc) collected through the “University on the Square” initiative. The main theme of this pavilion is Unity…..it’s the unity of all the Egyptians after 25th of Jan revolution. All Egyptians since that time became one hand and all of them gathered at a one single place which was “MIDAN EL TAHRIR”. Thus, my design was inspired by the Unity that took place in EL Tahrir Square. As for the form of the pavilion, it was deconstructed from the silhouettes of el Tahrir square. Besides, the silhouettes of el Tahrir square formed a star centralized pattern similar to those Islamic patterns that exist on the AUC New Campus...... which was a perfect match with the Campus site...TRANSCRIPT
