Project description

Blending different world cultures and their context within a modern civilizational framework With modernity by abstracting the symbols and lines that express every culture. “Each pavilion tells the story of a country and a center connected to the world.” Design lines of the project The design was based on the abstract, flowing lines of sandbanks, and the distinctive lines of different styles, and combining them with decorative elements of different cultures’ styles.

Technical information

Plaza Square (representing the North African region), the pavilion of the host country, Egypt, with the ancient Egyptian character The events arena is a dome made of steel and covered with dual-view panoramic screens with RGP projectors and lighting elements. The design lines of the dome came from an analysis of one of the ancient Egyptian symbols, which is the sun disk in its radiant form, and the dome’s columns are from an analysis of the lines of the lotus flower. The CONSTRUCTION of the building is mainly STEEL STRUCTURE including trusses, rafts and barriers. Two main materials are used for internal and external finishes which are GRC (glass reinforced concrete) and GRP (glass reinforced plastic) with veneers of timber or other alternatives of thickness from 0.5 mm to 3 mm.

Graduation Project ( Expo- Egypt)

Expo-Egipt is an international exhibition presenting innovations and inventions in the field of technology, which has become a creative laboratory, combining architecture with the environment. One of the positive aspects of the project is the use of various materials typical of a given region, which adds authenticity and local color. Shapes inspired by the local culture have been transformed into various lines and forms, both in the interior and in the design of the building itself, which gives the whole a unique character. This approach creates a harmonious composition that highlights the innovation of the exhibition while celebrating Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Unfortunately, too much of structures, forms, materials and shapes in the Expo-Egipt project makes the space overwhelming and chaotic. Such an excess of elements may distort the reception of the presented content, making it difficult for visitors to concentrate on the most important innovations and inventions. It is clear that there were many ideas in the design and the author tried to show it, which unfortunately led to overloading the space. When designing exhibitions, it is crucial that the spaces are designed in a way that allows free movement and viewing of exhibitions. This allows visitors to fully appreciate the exhibition without being distracted by overly complex surroundings. Presentation boards would look much better if they contained a little less information - perhaps breaking them into more, smaller boards would avoid the effect of being overwhelmed by a large number of elements. Moreover, please keep working, you clearly have great design talent and potential that should be constantly cultivated and further educated in the field of design.
