The project is focused on deprived neighbourhoods in Colombia. These informal neighbourhoods, similar to favelas, are mostly situated on the hillsides of cities and are perceived as dangerous due to their violent histories. However, these neighbourhoods are often very colourful, consisting of murals painted by local artists to depict the local history and promote prosperity. Murals have become urban folklore and are used to help develop deprived neighbourhoods; many rural areas have become safer communities and some grew into a tourists hotspots.

The objective of this project is to advance this movement of mural making within deprived areas in Colombia. Egipto, a favela located in the outskirts of Bogotá, Colombia, is perceived as dangerous: theft, assault and kidnappings were common in this area a decade ago. The project aims to bridge the relationship between the locals and their surroundings and to improve life for Egipto's residents. The project proposes an educational system consisting in part of classes for creative subjects and seeks to make an environment which improves the ambience of the area. The building is also an urban museum for the neighbourhood and a public showcase. In time, the uniqueness of the neighbourhood will spread and Egipto will be notorious for its creativity.
