01 Egyptian National Surrealism Museum

Slogan : Surpassing the Limits of Imagination

Keywords : Fantasy, Chaos, Freedom, Joy

Concept Explanation

Vision : Veristic Surrealism is a Dream inspired art, which would combine elements that you normally would not see together to express the reality and allow imagination to run wild “ Radical dreamers journal “ , “What Is Surrealism by Andre Breton”

Mission : create the opportunity to escape external structures to peer into unconscious interiors and explore what’s hidden there it implies big questions about the nature of reality and urge viewers to redefine themselves redefine themselves based on their own internal worlds “Manifestos of Surrealism by Andre Breton”

Form Generation

Started by creating an inclined simple shape to make the form stand out and act as a landmark while respecting the surroundings.

Created atrium to allow more sunlight and air inside the building, Changed the axis of the inclination to make the building more inviting

Started to break up the building in to smaller zones and used more expressive sharp lines to create areas that can be integrated with the outdoor space to give an internal view for the building. Used curved soft lines for the main atrium to maximize the usage of the Nile view and to add an artistic value framing the Nile river.

Adjusting the heights of the exhibition zones to make the art centered spaces more dominant and present. Used space trusses for the red zones to allow the dramatic roof inclination to give the illusion that the building is about to break apart wanting to be free from the rigid lines in a surreal way.
