-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
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.
-The building's supporting structure is based on a grid shell built of round steel tubing
-MATERIAL USED..
One of the requirements is to use 70% of reused or recycled material
1-Aluminium Anodized Bronze

Dear Somaya,
Before everything, congratulations on participating in the Inspireli Awards! It’s already a big step to bravely share your design and learn from feedback.
About your project, I’d like to focus on three main points:
1- Project Definition: Defining the needs and users is the first step toward a good project. In your case, it would have been better to clearly describe what the pavilion is about and explain the context before getting into details.
2- Cohesion in Storytelling: You mentioned interpreting a Möbius strip and representing infinity, but the reason behind this choice is missing. Structuring your story step-by-step — starting with the needs, then moving toward the concept — would make it easier to understand and follow.
3- Technical Drawings and Diagrams: Architecture mainly communicates through drawings. While your renderings are nice (congratulations on that!), diagrams, plans, sections, and elevations are even more important to properly express your ideas. Try to focus more on these and avoid unnecessary perspective views.
I wish you a great journey ahead in architecture.
Best regards,
Omid
