The design concept focused on ecological resiliency, ecological restoration, and ecotourism. Since the construction of the High Dam, the ecological health of the Nile Valley has steadily diminished causing an increase in desertification and bank erosion. Finding a solution to reestablish the historical native habitat to the area while providing educational opportunities for everyone and financial stability for the local community was essential.
Design Goals (RIPE):
1. Establish areas for research promoting biodiversity and reversing desertification.
2. Provide areas for implementation of research strategies.
3. Create a space for production of plant materials for use in research and reintroduction into the landscape.
4. Provide opportunites for education about ecological and agriculture sustainability.
