The Majestic Egyptian Mashrabiya Towers Over the Central Atrium
A full nine stories high, the towering Egyptian Mashrabiya
dominates the Central Atrium. Over four million pieces of wood make
up this lattice screen. The intricate woodwork, was carefully
hand-crafted without glue or nails. Originally designed to afford privacy for household
members, here the Mashrabiya serves as a celebration of artisan skills.
