Revealing The Truth from the Bottom of Earth Toward the Heights of The Sky The new innovative way of producing a media building was inspired by our ancient
Egyptian roots and principles allocated inside the new administrative capital. following our practice of thinking of TUTERA style, which consists of the completion of the ancient
Egyptian civilization
We are conveying you within a refined journey to concede our inspiration. According to our ancient Egyptian main three symbols, the main building is produced, Khepri, nut, and
Maat. Each of these representatives has a substantial influence in hunting for the truth.
With no coincidence, a media building consists of finding the truth and expanding to all the public, which is the main reason behind the embedded symbols used in the design.
The building revelation consists of Khepri, the scarab-headed god next from the right, in the morning demonstration of Ra, connected in particular with creation. Along with Nut, known as the goddess sky, the vault of the heavens is often depicted as an archway over
the earth god Geb always trying to attain the truth of existence. The media city consists of the seven pillars known as (cinema, theater, advertising, journalism, research, radio, and television). These seven pillars are constructed all from stones, reflecting the glory of knowledge in a modern way.
Moreover, we met in our design of the media city, the Goddess Maat, which embodies the Ancient Egyptian Seven Principles: Truth, Balance, Order, Harmony, Righteousness, Morality, and Justice.
Last but not least, the main principle confronted in the design was Ra, the sun, who was recognized as the heavenly father of each successive ancient Egyptian. Despite the sun god’s influence and distinctness in the religious culture of ancient Egypt, though, many details about him rest surprising, even puzzling.
We noticed how the sun impersonated inside the structure, which is observed daily in precise timing, allowing to profit from the sun.
The sun is the way to knowledge, to light. That’s why all the building consists of glass which allows the sun’s entrance through all forms. Mainly productivity and not surprisingly revealed why we faced such a media city that is always described to see the truth and deliver it.
