The Cairo Art Scene is part of a large urban design for a famous part of Cairo called Ataba Square based on Egypt Ministry of Culture request. The proposal going to be displayed in the 2018 Venice Biennale this summer.
Designing a space where contemporary art can be displayed was the main drive for this project. We chose the Post Office Building as our site and the idea was to keep the building as what it is and insert the new spaces into the existing building.
Interior courtyards became the hosts for the gallery spaces where transparent tubes are inserted. Each glass tube is an independent exhibition space with its autonomous entrance.
