There are few sites on Earth where architecture must confront eternity. The Giza Plateau is one. Home to structures so old they predate written Greek, the pyramids have stared down empires, religions, revolutions and entire climatic eras. To build anything beside them is a provocation – how does contemporary architecture inhabit a landscape where the human hand has already done its greatest, oldest work?

Organized by the Geoffrey Bawa Trust, “Designing Museums with Architect Kulapat Yantrasast” is a free workshop focusing on envisioning museums as dynamic public spaces that shape art, community and culture. The workshop aims to guide the participants through a holistic design approach, balancing institutional histories and its future potential through the expertise of one of the globally prominent architects, who specializes in genre-defying architecture.
