4.1.1. Direct Context Aten Cultural Park is enclosed by two main streets; Al Haram Street from the south and Mashaal street from the East as it appears in figure (18). It has a direct view of The Pyramids due to the low topography of the Golf Course overlooking The Pyramid Plateau. The GEM area lacks any cultural or historical facilities that serve the iconic area of the Pyramid Plateau. Transportation to the park is facilitated by having different transportation methods like buses, taxis and cars and the accessibility of the park to all of them. The Park incorporates different typologies that serve the objective of the Bibliotheca; Bahiti Business and Retail Centre, Ma’at Youth and Social Justice Centre, Lotus Recreational Centre and Sekhmet Wellness Centre. It encloses three platforms acting as the catalyst of the park surrounded by the five typologies to symbolically show the contrast between The Pyramid Plateau and the urban fabric surrounding it.
