ok, i will edit my original comment, perhaps the wording was “unprintable”: Actually I think comparing it to Toyo’s Opera House, while initially seemingly logical, is not being fair to Ito’s work, as this building is not on the same level.

this is a silly project at best. the geometry doesn’t fit the purpose and the structure is not making little sense structurally. this project is unnecessarily complex for the sake of some simplistic approach to finding an architectural solution.

This project reminds me of Tama Art University Library by Toyo Ito and Exeter Library by Louis Kahn. The classical grid reminds me of Masuya by Akihisa Hirata.

Anyways, nice work.

But I do feel the local references in the sitting areas? I would love a stroll through all these different shapes…

if im honest (apart from all other consideratins re: this project and the design for the building) i just wish I could see more local references in the design, and references to Egypt (historically so rich in design…) even if its then translated into something very modern,
