Pharaonic exhibition

Project idea

"Mamluk exhibition is an exhibition for an Egyptian store specializing in Pharaonic artifacts. It contains a wide range of Egyptian products and aims to market Egyptian culture and ideas in an innovative way while preserving the Egyptian style and grandeur."

Project description

"The exhibition is designed in a modern Pharaonic style, taking its design cues from the ancient Egyptian scarab beetle which held great significance and multiple uses for the ancient Egyptians, such as being used as protective amulets against evil, as they believed the beetle was capable of renewing itself. The colors used in the design also hold meanings for the ancient Egyptians and serve the purpose of sustainability and renewal. The color green, referred to as 'wadj' by the Pharaohs, is synonymous with fertility, growth, and rebirth. The color black, called 'kem', symbolized darkness, fertility of the soil, and regeneration. The color yellow, known as 'kentj' to the Pharaohs, represented immortality and permanence, with its greatest manifestation being the golden sun rays. Overall, the Mamluk Gallery showcases a unique blend of modern and ancient Egyptian culture, with a focus on preserving the grandeur and significance of the Pharaonic era."

Technical information

"The gallery was built on an area of 400 square meters, using sustainable materials such as wood and metal in the design. Direct and indirect artificial lighting was relied upon for the gallery's illumination."
