ARABIC CALLIGRAPHY MUSEUEM

Abstract

I believe that arts on it’s all kinds play a major role in the way we live, artists use their skills and imagination in all kinds of ways: to hinder or help revolutions, incite or resist social prejudice, highlight an injustice and conceal or unmask social anxieties or simply to get a high aesthetic. The reason behind choosing this particular type of art relies on the amount of ignorance this particular type of art receives in Sudan. There are also no specialized museum or galleries for this ancient art. This project, Arabic calligraphy museum, is a cultural building where you observe and learn Arabic calligraphy in an environment in which to work, study and share ideas about Arabic calligraphy art in new techniques. The report consists of five chapters, the first chapter is general introduction to the project, the second chapter shows the data collection and the local and international examples, the third chapter is the analysis of the project which deals with two main things which are data analysis and site analysis and also zoning, fourth chapter of the design process which start from concept till the final design, finally fifth chapter which deals with technical solutions. The result of this project is to be able to study and design a museum that shows all the art of Arabic calligraphy, ancient and modern, enlighten visitors of its importance, consisting of all the functional spaced needed, simple circulation, and a simple steady structure.
