The Nile Threads

A landmark on an island facing Fuwwah, shaped as a boat skeleton whose coloured ribs recall kilim threads pulled from the Nile. Beneath its tensile canopy, the floating market unfolds as shaded streets, courtyards, cafés and cultural spaces, with live kilim-weaving workshops and artisan studios. Openings between the ribs frame views of the city's minarets and domes.
