The presentation of the Horus Museum project is incredibly compelling, and I’m truly impressed by how you managed to effectively communicate your ideas through the boards. The way you presented the plans is well-organized, clear, and engaging, making it easy for viewers to grasp the concept and envision the space. The layout of the spaces is well thought out, with a thoughtful flow that reflects the cultural unity between Egypt and Sudan, while also emphasizing the historical significance of both civilizations.

The design captures the essence of the shared history and rich cultural legacy of the two nations, beautifully honoring the ancient Egyptian and Kushite civilizations. The symbolic connection to Horus, the sun god, is subtly woven throughout the project, and the integration of the museum’s purpose—celebrating unity despite political boundaries—resonates strongly. This narrative-driven approach enhances the overall impact of the project, making it not just a space for exhibitions, but a symbol of cultural preservation and connection.

I also appreciate your choice of materials for the building, using local resources from the Shalatin region. This environmentally conscious decision further strengthens the project’s cultural and contextual relevance. It shows a deep understanding of sustainability and respect for the environment, reinforcing the museum’s connection to the land and its people.

The project is well-executed, with careful planning of the spaces and a compelling narrative that resonates with both the past and the present. The design stands as a testament to unity, heritage, and the enduring connection between Egypt and Sudan. Excellent work!

Muhammed Hani, I also want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication that clearly went into this project. The execution of your vision reflects a strong commitment to bringing the shared cultural narrative to life. Congratulations on this outstanding work! Your attention to detail and the message conveyed through your design are truly admirable.
