Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Kairo – eine Wiege der Zivilisation, eine Stadt, die mit den Relikten von Jahrtausenden übersät ist - steht an der Kreuzung von Erinnerung und Moderne. Als eine der reichsten Kulturlandschaften der Welt steht sie vor der dringenden Herausforderung, ihr Erbe inmitten der rasanten Urbanisierung, des Klimastresses und der sich wandelnden Formen der Auseinandersetzung zu bewahren. Viele Artefakte von unschätzbarem Wert sind in unzugänglichen Gewölben eingeschlossen oder unterliegen dem Verfall durch Umwelteinflüsse.
Das Digital Heritage Museum schlägt eine kühne architektonische Antwort vor: eine neue Art von Kultureinrichtung, die neue Technologien nutzt, um das umfangreiche und vielfältige kulturelle Erbe Ägyptens digital zu bewahren, zu rekonstruieren und neu zu interpretieren. Es handelt sich nicht um ein Museum für Artefakte, sondern um ein Museum für Erfahrungen - ein immersiver Zugang zu alten Wissenssystemen, Geschichten und verlorenen Umgebungen.
Dieser Wettbewerb lädt Architekten, Designer und Studenten dazu ein, ein ortsspezifisches, technologisch fortschrittliches und kulturell sensibles Museum zu entwerfen, das eine Brücke zwischen der Vergangenheit und der Zukunft schlägt und Kairo als weltweit führend bei der Bewahrung des digitalen Erbes positioniert.
Die Vergangenheit bewahren, die Zukunft gestalten.
Competition assignment
Cairo — a cradle of civilization, a city layered with the relics of millennia — stands at the crossroads of memory and modernity. As one of the world’s richest cultural landscapes, it faces the urgent challenge of safeguarding its heritage amidst rapid urbanization, climate stress, and evolving modes of engagement. Many invaluable artifacts remain locked in inaccessible vaults or are deteriorating under environmental duress.
The Digital Heritage Museum proposes a bold architectural response: a new kind of cultural institution that uses emerging technologies to digitally preserve, reconstruct, and reinterpret Egypt’s vast and diverse cultural legacy. This is not a museum of artifacts, but a museum of experiences — an immersive gateway into ancient knowledge systems, stories, and lost environments.
This competition invites architects, designers, and students to envision a site-specific, technologically-forward, and culturally-sensitive museum that bridges the past with the future, positioning Cairo as a global leader in the preservation of digital heritage.
Preserving the past, designing the future.

Program Overview:
The museum aims to serve as a dynamic hub for education, recreation, discovery, and innovation, catering to both local residents and international visitors. It should go beyond housing and displaying digital reproductions of ancient artifacts and environments, such as temples, monuments, and manuscripts, by also offering spaces dedicated to research, critical debates, and creative exploration surrounding heritage conservation.
This institution will foster a unique platform for cross-generational and cross-cultural exchange, providing opportunities for diverse audiences, especially the youth, to interact with and engage the ancient world in groundbreaking, immersive ways that bridge past and present, tradition and innovation.
