Скачать или смотреть Designing The Grand Egyptian Museum #2: Where "form follows content"

How do you transform complex content into one compelling storyline – in just seven months?

In Part 2, our Partner Britta Nagel explains how "form follows content" (Prof. Uwe R. Brückner) became the core principle of our design for the Tutankhamun Gallery at The Grand Egyptian Museum.

Faced with thousands of artefacts and layered themes, we didn’t just arrange – we translated content into a coherent spatial narrative. Every design move, from the overall sequence to each object’s placement, followed the logic of the story.

What makes the gallery unique is its dual structure. Visitors can move clockwise or counterclockwise – experiencing two distinct narratives:
– Tutankhamun’s life, death and afterlife
– The tomb’s discovery and archaeology

This layered approach creates intuitive orientation and deeper engagement – creating a balance between clarity and complexity.
