When Róisín  Heneghan and her firm, Heneghan Peng Architects entered a competition to design a new museum just 2kms from the Pyramids of Giza, they knew they needed to create a design that only complimented the ancient landscape, but deeply engaged with it too. 

20 years later, their vision has finally been realised, with the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo this month. Róisín Heneghan shares the complexities and triumphs in designing the largest single civilisation museum in the world.
