"Designed for the Ministry of Culture, this centre was intended to be located in the heart of the town of Luxor itself near the Fatimid Mosque of Sidi al-Wahsh, and the park that is adjacent to it. Only the main hall of the large complex has been completed, however, but tue architect's intentions for natural ventilation have been ignored. A large malkaf that was intended to cool the entire inside area has been built, but closed off, rendering the entire roof form meaningless." (partially constructed)
