Mack-Pyramid, reconstruction and extension

Concept of the High-Rise: Efficient Land Use and Sustainability: The concept of the high-rise is centered around repurposing a quarter of the existing Mack Pyramid to create a sustainable expansion without additional land consumption. Instead of constructing on untouched ground, the existing footprint of the pyramid was utilized to build a vertical extension. The high-rise integrates multiple functions within a compact, multifunctional structure. It accommodates spaces for ateliers, exhibition areas, art trade, educational facilities, a startup center, and gastronomy. The vertical organization of these functions optimizes space usage and establishes a dynamic hub for art, culture, and innovation. The construction incorporates sustainable materials such as recycled concrete and a façade system featuring dichroic glass louvers, which provide both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. This concept merges modern design with ecological responsibility while respecting the historical significance of the Mack Pyramid.
