By day, the pearl will be white and translucent. By night, the pearl changes to be transparent with a direct visual connection to the external surroundings.



 The main focus presents in almost every child's toy box in one form or another, being the colored blocks, the children was attracted to the simple figures and basic colors used and formed the main elements of design  The museum was designed by taking these simple forms and rotating them ironically appears as they had haphazard tumbled down, and came upon each other of a different volumes. The rotation of the masses creates s the feelings of dynamics and movement and encourages the soul of journey through the museum within a mood of energy and fun , more over the building facade design was set to allow the visual connectivity between out and inside the museum .  Colors psychology and expression was studied while the design process. We used every color according to its influence in soul with the consideration of the function of each building

 Individually participation design contest to provide a visual barrier to separate view between Airotel hotel overlooking and a substation façade .  The idea was ranked first and was presented to the Civil Aviation Minister


Location

Challenge: Airotel hotel is located inside the region of Cairo airport and the main façade is overlooking a power substation for the airport It was required to find a way and to provide visual barrier that hides away the substation façade from being seen by the accommodators of the hotel

Approach: The approach we came up with is to provide a necessary vertical visual barrier (a screen wall ) This screen will only separate the views without prejudice the buildings as the modification for both the substation and the hotel was not recommended from the authority of the civil aviation.

Diagrammatic section


CONCEPTUAL Elevation  The idea consist of Repeated traditional concrete frames with different width and holding in between a small concrete slabs that carries softscaping features and soffit lighting with vibrant colors. The concrete slabs provide structural role and preventing the frames from tends and buckling.  A set for branching trees was put in the back side of the barrier to provide morning light diffusion and to insist hiding the substation facade.
