Adaptable
“ An infinite field in a finite space ”
Abanoub Reyad
Adaptable spaces are limited yet efficient . Egypt is currently in a moment of gentrification , which is why I have brought my design to Egypt . The Nile is currently little used and introducing “ adaptable ” will enable the public to feel more ownership of a public unused space . Currently we live in a time where individuals are looking down into their phones and refined communication takes place . Further to this it boosts Egypt ’ s pop-up communities and economy as it will attract tourists as well as locals . A fun palace to me is an interchangeable space enabling a variety of activities to take place . Enabling change at an instant ’ s notice will enhance the usage of the site .
