Heliopolis style is an early 20th-century architectural style developed in the new suburb of Heliopolis in eastern Cairo, Egypt. The Belgian Cairo Electric Railways and Heliopolis Oases Company, responsible for planning and developing the new suburb, created the new style to implement an exclusive distinctiveness to the design of its buildings. The revival style is a synthesis of Moorish Revival, traditional Arabic, Persian Revival, and European Neoclassical architecture styles. ==Style== The goal of this style was to successfully implement the aesthetic and functional advantages of the influencing styles. Combining the qualities of these types brought Moorish and Persian facades, Arabic spatial volumes, and European floor plans, and Neoclassical and Moorish interiors together in a homogeneous unit. The Heliopolis style integrated qualities, including: * climatic adaptation techniques of Arabic northern Africa (implemented in volumes). * Persian-Moorish Revival sense of architectural style detailing (implemented in facades). * Euro-Egyptian hospitality social traditions, of the early 20th century era (implemented in plans and interior design). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heliopolis style」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
