This is without a doubt one of the greatest architectural achievements of the 21st century. It is a project that deals with layers upon layers of some of the most complex questions and challenges architects face today and still manages not just to solve the puzzle but to create a work of art that architects will turn to for decades if not centuries for inspiration.
Moving through the building the spaces and exhibitions, millennia and centuries, seem to merge seamlessly, yet are still distinctively different. The large terrazzo like blocks, forming the main staircase is reminiscent of the monumental architecture of the New Kingdom of Egypt, stretching out like the feet of a great sphinx, timeless and mysterious and still strikingly contemporary. It doesn't really matter though as you walk around through the maze of rooms and courtyards: what's new or old, restored or recreated, contemporary or classical, or even building or artifact. It all comes together into one coherent impression that result in a sort of quietness. In which old and new elevate each other in a respectful and reconciled way. (Studio Esinam)
