Benghazi · The Book Passage
Elio Atallah — Passage concept and visitor interaction. Visitors approach a monumental book gateway. A handprint interaction opens the passage, making the transition into the experience part of the story. The gesture makes the visitor an active participant. A familiar object becomes an architectural threshold, linking touch, anticipation and the unfolding narrative.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Architecture, intent
and experience.
Visitors approach a monumental book gateway. A handprint interaction opens the passage, making the transition into the experience part of the story. The gesture makes the visitor an active participant. A familiar object becomes an architectural threshold, linking touch, anticipation and the unfolding narrative.
Elio Atallah — my contribution: I conceived the monumental book passage and its handprint-triggered opening interaction, connecting the architectural threshold with the visitor journey. This design contribution was developed within my work with ICE International Events.
Collaboration: ICE International Events. Credits refer to the stated personal contribution within the wider project team, not sole authorship of the event or production.
