Health And Wellness Resort in Siwa Oasis, Egypt
… resort in Siwa Oasis, Egypt. The project employs bioclimatic strategies and 3D printing technology using locally sourced materials such as karshif (a mix of salt and clay) and palm based elements. The resort's design draws from Siwan traditions including domed roofs, and courtyards while adopting …
