LE TRIO HUB
It's an adaptive reuse architectural project for a knowledge hub.
The philosophy is embedded in a trio between Sayed Darwish Theatre, Kordahi Complex and Cinema Plaza in Foad Street (Rue Rosetta), Alexandria, Egypt.
Vision
Social Approach + Enhancing Users' Experience + HARMONY with historical context.
Concept
Motivating people to react positively with historical buildings, by supporting the social factor whereas the users’ will have a unique experience through journeys, where each journey in the hub is rich by the number of designed spaces and circulations to enhance it. Adding to it the outdoor plaza welcoming people to the space, thus their belonging to the context will increase. As well as the underground storytelling spaces about the belle époque period in Alexandria, penetrated by skylight slots which opens visual frames to the historical significant buildings; Sayed Darwish and Cinema Plaza. It’s chosen that these spaces will be underground as it’s dim and dependent mainly on artificial lighting.
