Egyptian Skyscraper Building – added 19 Apr 2012
A gracious volume set alongside the Nile, this elegant 70-storey structure by Zaha Hadid Architects seems to rotate, to lean across the water on its west side this sense of movement further enhanced by strong diagonals and the continuous glass plaza at its foot.

Ramses Square Egypt
picture from architects office
Ramses Square
The key objective is to define Ramses square physically and give a sense of place to the remodelled square by reinforcing the edges, removing the high-level traffic, and re-organising the surface traffic. The design should also upgrade and provide new attractions to the square in the form of shopping, cafes, public events with music, and films. The urban design layout will also provide a variety of development opportunities in making the plan shape and this will draw in private investment into the scheme.
