Egypt is one of the countries which historically and architecturally is a wander with unique structures and cultures such as the Great pyramids of Giza. When has Egypt ever done anything in a small scale? Hence today we are looking at Egypt’s new grand project, The Grand Egyptian Museum which is going to become of the largest one in the world upon its opening. To fully dissect the different layers of this museum which will make it special besides its size. we will go through the full plan and design including the unique pieces to be on displace once completed. Come with us as we examine Egypt’s construction of the largest museum in the world.
The Grand Egyptian Museum will be the largest and most important Pharaonic museum in the world, the largest museum in Egypt and one of the leading scientific, historical and archaeological study centers on the globe.The museum’s twenty-first century galleries, designed by Metaphor, will be located in an iconic and distinctive building located on the edge of the desert abutting the Giza Pyramids world heritage site. The Museum, is designed by Heneghan Peng Architects, and will cover over 3,500 years of ancient Egyptian history and house more than 50,000 artifacts, including King Tutankhamun’s famed mummy and golden burial effects. The main achievement so far is the construction of the new conservation center with a documentation unit working to create a computerized database for all the artifacts.
Contract Awarding Process and Design
The building design was decided by an architectural competition announced on 7 January 2002. The organizers received 1557 entries from 82 countries, making it the second largest architectural competition in history. In the second stage of the competition, 20 entries submitted additional information on their designs. Judging was complete by 2 June 2003. The competition was won by architects Róisín Heneghan & Shi-Fu Peng, and their company Heneghan Peng Architects in Ireland winning 250,000 dollars. With their win, Heneghen Peng Architect designed the building. The exhibition masterplan, exhibition design and museology is by Atelier Brückner.
In late August 2008, the design team submitted over 5,000 drawings to the Egyptian Ministry of Culture. Following this, the construction tender was announced in October 2008. Earthmoving has begun to excavate the site for the building. Tendering was due in September 2009, with an estimated completion date of 2013. On 11 January 2012, a joint venture between Egypt's Orascom Construction Industries and the Belgian BESIX Group was awarded the contract for phase three of the Grand Egyptian Museum, a deal valued at $810 million which is slightly higher than the original estimate of $55million dollars.
The Final Design of The GEM
Given the knock out process of the selection process for a designing company, Heneghen Peng Architects had to put their money where their mouth is to bring up an exceptional design proving they deserved their win. The design incorporated the essence of Egyptian history with a great touch of modern architecture. The building is shaped like a chamfered triangle in plan. It sits on a site two kilometers west of the pyramids, near a motorway interchange. The building's north and south walls line up directly with the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Menkaure. In front of the building is a large plaza, filled with date plants. One of the main features of the museum is the translucent stone wall, made of alabaster, that makes up the front facade of the building. Inside the main entrance is a large atrium, where large statues will be exhibited. On the 2nd of February 2010, Hill International announced that Egypt's Ministry of Culture had signed a contract with a joint venture of Hill and EHAF Consulting Engineers to provide project management services during the design and c

Of Black America was a series of seven one-hour documentaries presented by CBS News in the summer of 1968, at the end of the Civil Rights Movement and during a time of racial unrest (Martin Luther King had been assassinated that spring and riots in many cities had followed). The groundbreaking series explored various aspects of the history and current state of African-American community. The executive producer was Perry Wolff, and the series was sponsored by the Xerox Corporation.The series was presented in prime time at 10:00 PM, on Tuesdays (a slot then usually reserved for CBS Reports documentaries and news shows), except for the last episode which aired on a Monday.The first installment ("Black History: Lost, Stolen, Strayed") won an Emmy Award and a Writers Guild of America Award for Andy Rooney. --WikipediaSide note: Actor Stepin Fetchit sued CBS for defamation after the special aired.

Robin Walker Interview Part 3

⁣Africans have been conditioned to think they are poor. In this latest episode of The African Narratives, the creative director of Africa Web TV, Femi Soewu, gives his take on the believe that Africans are poor. Being devoid of luxury is not the same as being poor. Why are Africans always trying to compare themselves with Europeans? Why are we always trying to run the European race? Why is it that we are only happy when we have all those big buildings in Africa? Why are Africans only happy when they get a European seal of approval?

The leaders in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger will hold their first ever joint summit this weekend.

Construire la communauté : de nouvelles traditions
Building community : new traditions

Lauréat du Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2009

D’abord charpentier, Francis Kéré a pu quitter le village de Gando pour étudier l’architecture à l’Université de Berlin grâce à l’ONG allemande BMZ. Il y enseigne maintenant, selon les règles d’un rationalisme régénéré par l’écologie. À Gando, il construit une architecture tout aussi rationnelle et inventive, nourrie de culture globale et d’intelligence des situations.
Car de Berlin à Gando, il n’importe plus rien sans raison. Il utilise lucidement la mondialisation et place désormais sa culture sur le même plan que celle de l’Occident en puisant dans l’expérience africaine enfin reconnue, comme dans l’écologie européenne. Il assemble, tamise ces ressources pour chaque projet, cherche la juste réponse. Cette critique globale des savoirs est neuve. Elle produit une architecture enracinée dans son microcosme et universelle par son message.

Trained as a carpenter, Francis Kéré obtained with the help of BMZ, a German NGO, a scholar ship to study architecture at T.U. in Berlin. He lives between Burkina Faso and Germany.
In Berlin, he teaches his students green architecture. In his village of Gando, he builds amenities and schools, all with the same rationality, economy and sober lines, reflecting the truth of the process and of the resources, considering African knowledge on building as valuable as those coming from Europe.
He doesn’t import eco-construction but transpose the principles: a clever use of globalization. The skills of local masons and metalworkers are employed. Materials found all over Africa are transformed into strong structures, with fine shapes. Francis Kéré believes that stakeholders need to be involved in the development process so that they can appreciate its advantages and drive it forward. “And that is equally true for architecture.”
