TEMPLE   OF CRETIVITY

Location: Aswan
Omar Aboulnaga
The site is located in Aswan between the two dams on Awaad   lsland , avery important and
deeply rooted place, where the two most dominant participants are the nature and Philae
temple.
Aim: The project is a hybrid educational institute of architecture, fashion and arts. It
aims towards creating an atmosphere that inspires the students and dig deep in to their
own genes.
Wakeup call: The project’s biggest challenge is to prove that dealig with traditional
contexts doesn’t require historical mimicry. In addition., such ancient contexts are not
compatible with imported foreign design approaches that completely ignore the roots
of the place and are mostly imported for their “wow” factor. In this context, I connected
every aspect designed with what has already been there, from the landscape to the mass
morphology till the very minute radical functional details, nothing was copied.
