The El Sokhna Masterplan (Monte Galala) has been designed following 6 main actions e key words:
\n
\nA-Looking, Understanding
\nLooking and seeing. Understanding.
\nThe perceptive work by Ernesta Caviola, both in photographs and on video.
\nThe role of topography, of orientation, of the wind, of archeology and nature.
\nThe area\u2019s position concerning the Nile Valley, the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, Cairo, and the new cities under construction. The residential, turistic, and hospitality program. The infrastructures.
\nB-Dialogues
\nThe Masterplan is designed as a dialogue between foundational actions and topography.
\n\u201cCreating the Site\u201d: the creation of the area as a written language on earth, transformed into a visible form through the invisible soul of territory.
\nThe metaphor of the masterplan\u2019s \u201cshape\u201d as a \u201cconstellation\u201d.
\nThe technological and environmental elements of the Masterplan.
\nC-Writing
\nThe first phase of the Masterplan as the first foundational act.
\n2500 housing units. A theme park. The Marina. The hotels.
\nD-Languages
\nThe role of the \u201carchitectural type\u201d and architecture in terms of language. The 360\u00b0 landscape and the wind coming from the north as elements that determine position, type, and architectural language.
\nEach place is different from the other. Each desert is different from the other. The architectural and artistic language as a coexistence of different times. Town House, Chalets, Villas (7 typologies), Twin Houses, Hotels.
\nE-Belonging
\nThe public space project and the role of art as foundational elements. Art as a coexistence of different times, in dialogue with the architectural language. The direct contribution of Fabrizio Plessi.
\nF-Diary
\nThe \u201cgenealogical diary\u201d, or declaration of belonging to a transversal design and artistic path. Archeology, Eugenio Turri, Marguerite Yourcenar, Robert Smithson, Michael Heizer. Claudio Parmiggiani, Hassan Fathy, Fernand Poullion, Paul Rudolph, Lina Bo Bardi.
