Mekano, a team of young Egyptian architects shared with us their proposal for the Piraeus Tower 2010 Competition, for which they received an honorable mention. More images and architect’s description after the break.
Our main concept is to convert the building to a landmark through the participation of all the children in the city in the construction of the building where the design comprises cubic units , kids will color these cubes, and then they will be installed on the proposed structure of the building to move these cubes in the three dimensions to make aesthetic formations like a Piraeus lion, for example, in conjunction with lighting units that will use with the structure to give the spirit of joy and fun on the building and the surrounding area and become a landmark of the city’s entrance.
