CAIRO, April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

World-renowned architect Adrian Smith along with his partners Gordon Gill and

Robert Forest, representing their international design firm, Adrian Smith +

Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG Architecture), will design their first project

in Egypt's New Administrative Capital (NAC) together with their partner, Magnom

Properties, the newly established real estate arm of the Saudi Rawabi Holding.

This was announced following a meeting of Adrian Smith with Dr Mostafa Madbouly

the Prime Minister of Egypt and top Egyptian officials. He also toured various

developments including the NAC, which is set to be the new administrative and

financial capital of the country.

AS+GG Architecture is exploring the possibility of working on additional

projects in the country including the design of an upcoming project at NAC.

Adrian Smith feted the scale of construction and achievements at NAC, adding

that Egypt has captivated the world with its forward-thinking approach and

extensive knowledge, which has left a strong impression on people across the

world.

He said, "We are looking forward to our partnership with Magnom Properties to

develop yet another architectural marvel at NAC. The new mega projects at NAC

will play a major role in shaping the future of the Capital to be more

people-centric by adopting the highest standards of sustainability, underlining

the need to achieve carbon neutrality as a strategic priority."

As part of the tour, the team visited the site of the Iconic Tower, a

skyscraper anchoring the Capital, set to be the tallest building in Africa when

completed.

Over the last few years, Egypt has designed and developed an urban Capital that

serves the needs of the community. The development features residential

neighbourhoods to educational and religious institutions and medical

facilities, in addition to having the largest park in the world.

The urban designs are unique in their modern outlook maintaining the rich

cultural heritage of Egypt at the same time. The New Administrative Capital

provides all the necessary services, hence offering a model for future cities.

Today, architects such as AS+GG Architects, are more invested in the

human-centric experience, and design concepts take into consideration the

relationship between structures and people's needs. This will reflect in the

new design by the company.
