Science city- International competition

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the New Library of Alexandria, aspires to implement a landmark honoring the enterprise of science, the new “Science City”, this new complex will be built on the western edge of Cairo, in the heart of the 6th of October City, and must express a particular vision of the search for knowledge and the pursuit of science.

The Science City celebrates scientific enterprise with its exhilarating and unending journey of discovery, and promotes the “Culture of Science”. It is a place where we honor the past, celebrate the present and invent the future. It helps our greater society, as well as its national and foreign visitors, gain insights into and an appreciation of scientific culture, which is more than a widespread knowledge of scientific facts and figures. Through its architecture and programs, the Science City will connect past achievements with present advancement, while guiding future development.
