The essences of the concept is to induce a strong political desire to redeem a patriotic spirit and hope.

This project is an anthropological museum, located on the edge of Alexandria harbor, Egypt. The conceptual design is that ever ring represents a chapter within the Egyptian history. This diameter of each ring corresponds to influence of each epoch, an is parametrically morphed according to the anthropological prosperity or decay within. The last ring is a symbol for a new, foreseen chapter that aspires to a stronger modern chapter of this country.

This was one of my early attempts in parametric design, via 3DViz – pre 3DMAX 3D architectural curve forms.

The initial concept is based on a poem by Salah Jaheen (1960’s Egyptian poet).

على اسم مصر التاريخ يقدر يقول ما شاء
أنا مصر عندي أحب وأجمل الأشياء
بحبها وهي مالكة الأرض شرق وغرب
وبحبها وهي مرمية جريحة حرب
بحبها بعنف وبرقة وعلى استحياء
واكرهها وألعن أبوها بعشق زي الداء
واسيبها واطفش في درب وتبقى هي ف درب
وتلتفت تلاقيني جنبها في الكرب
والنبض ينفض عروقي بألف نغمة وضرب
على اسم مصر
