Rediscovering Nile Delta – Hands on Earth and Reed El-Shakhlouba urban analysis & design build
Location: El-Shakhlouba, Kafr el Sheikh, Egypt.
Site: The chosen site was located at the edge of the village between residential houses and large fish breeding basins. Being on the edge of the village was an opportunity to frame a beautiful view of the typical Nile Delta landscape which is dominated by water. As visible on the map the site is located within a larger space in the exsiting urban fabric.
- The design group followed the idea of introducing a structure or built landscape of different leveled blocks as a children play ground on the one hand and a shaded seating area for the older members of the community on the other. 40
