Concept :
Cairo is a very rich city when it comes to heritage & history but a lot of dark spots lurk in that history and learning of these ordeals is an important way of avoiding the same problems or knowing the way to solve it .
Brief Description :
The aim of the project is to tell the story about the dark years of Cairo and its repeated fall , and the struggle the people went through due to economical & political crisis , .... Then offer and brand for the sense of HOPE « working as a Community development center » as it is not just about telling a story ,but it’s about getting through these ordeals
Hope isn’t something physical that can be seen or touched but it’s like the rays of light that crack the darkness , it’s always there, always exists … even if it is not crystal clear .
Typology :
A story telling museum as a main component & community development center works as a hub for NGOs as a secondary component
Studies :
Form generation & Program analysis
