THE LIVING CELL

“The Living Cell” is an innovative architectural project that harnesses the natural flow of the Nile River to generate sustainable energy. The project features a floating island foundation with a design that accelerates the river’s current to an optimal velocity, allowing a specialized material to convert the kinetic energy of water into electricity. This green energy is transferred wirelessly, drawing inspiration from Tesla’s pioneering work to minimize energy loss. The island’s design is deeply influenced by the context of El Nuba, with its form mirroring the surrounding mountains. This creates a visual harmony with the landscape and optimizes shading. The surface of the island is dotted with small squares that replicate local settlement patterns, further integrating the project into its cultural and environmental surroundings. “The Living Cell” exemplifies the seamless blending of advanced technology with traditional environmental sensitivity, offering a sustainable solution that respects and enhances its natural setting.

Project Function: It harnesses the natural flow of Nile River waves to produce eco-friendly electricity while creating a collaborative environment for social engagement and productivity.
