Briefing

Follow the Nile as a system connecting settlement, kingdoms and movement. Hold the UNESCO rescue campaign together with the displacement experienced by communities. Read house forms, craft and language as living culture, not an archaeological afterword.

Garden strategy

Give the outdoor setting separate attention and place it in a cooler part of the visit when necessary.
