NiLab - The Nile as Laboratory
Album
Description
NiLab is a laboratory for understanding and developing ideas and projects for the Nile River, a space for exploring the water theme.
Ain-Shams University, Cairo, and Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, curators of the Pavilion, along with twenty-four other international universities, work for the construction of the laboratory, through projects that focus on six landscape sections – Nature, Agriculture, Urbe, Infrastructure, Industry, Archaeology – in an international confrontation between Egypt, Africa, and the world.
The Pavilion is conceived as a space–time dimension in which the visitor experiences the landscape of the Nile as an inclusive part along with water, nature, and history.
