Location: Cairo, Egypt.

Architect: Fran Silvestre Arquitectos.

The project is located on the northern coast of Egypt and seeks to synthesize part of the traditional representation that symbolizes the Egyptian god of wisdom. The vertical element, with a variable section, allows the communication core to be housed while maintaining the expressiveness of the project. The problem of the cantilever body is solved with a triangulated steel structure and the counterweight of the opposite cantilever with additional mass in reinforced concrete is used. Contemporary architecture references are taken up, such as the floor plan of the Pirelli Tower and Andreu Alfaro’s kuroi. The project seeks to synthesize part of the tradition of the place with a constructive innovation.
