Design of the New
Building
The design concept is a simple
circle inclined towards the sea, partly submerged in a pool of
water, the image of the Egyptian sun, that in contemporary terms
will illuminate the world and human civilization.
Moreover, an inclined roof allows indirect daylight and a clear
view of the sea. Designed as an arrow, an elevated passageway
links the University of Alexandria to the Corniche. The building
is surrounded by a wall clad with Aswan granite engraved with
calligraphic letters and representative inscriptions from the
world civilizations.
This timely conceptualization symbolizes a unique form cum
fiction which combines the heritage of the region with the
intended revival of cultural radiance to reach the corners of
the universe. |
