Siwa Oasis Performing and Heritage Exhibition Center

Our project at the Shali Fortress aims to preserve its rich heritage while creating an organized, immersive visitor experience. The central theme, "Cultural Thread," connects visitors to the past, present, and future, symbolizing the interwoven layers of culture and history.
This "Thread" guides our design, seamlessly connecting architectural spaces through time. We developed a curated tour route that transitions visitors from historical contexts to contemporary interpretations.
Our approach integrates existing paths into a cohesive journey. A newly designed tour path enhances appreciation for historical significance and provides an engaging experience. The thread guides visitors through key points of interest, fostering curiosity and deeper understanding of the site's heritage.
Key features include Performance Areas, Exhibition Spaces, Multipurpose Spaces, and a Visitor Center. These facilities support diverse activities, enriching the overall visitor experience and ensuring the preservation of Siwa's cultural heritage.
Our strategy emphasizes minimal intervention to safeguard authentic relics and ancient walls, employing lightweight, detached structures to maintain their original forms and materials.
