The university of economics in Vienna has a new library and learning center. But this university library is different from any other you may have encountered. the new library designed by the infamous Zaha Hadid is a piece of art itself. One of the main characteristics of the building is that as soon as you step in you leave the straight walls behind, as there won't be a single straight column or wall in this building, which makes it kind of a unique experience of its own, not only for students but also for art and architecture enthusiasts. The interior of the LLC is informed by the external circulation of the master plan which maps out the different levels of the building. The straight lines of the building’s exterior separate as they move inward, becoming curvilinear and fluid to generate a free-formed interior canyon that serves as the principal public plaza of the center, as well as generating corridors and bridges ensuring smooth transitions between different levels. The external appearance of the LLC is characterized by two elements of contrasting colours separated by a glass joint: shell and shadow. These different colours facilitate the orientation and understanding of the two primary areas of the building from the exterior.
Tamboly received his Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences in “Advertising, Printing & Publishing, the light photography section” in 2001, and a YAT diploma in graphic design in 2003. After graduation he began working as an event photographer for festivals, art projects, and events in Zürich, Switzerland. Tamboly held his first solo exhibition, “Motion and Silence,” at the Photo Cairo Festival in 2003. Later that year he received the “Certificate of vocational Achievements” from Al Mamoun International University in Damascus, Syria, for his achievements in photography.
Since 2002 Tamboly has been active in the art scene in Europe and worldwide, as he participated in different contests, solo and group exhibitions, salons and festivals. He enjoyed both working as a solo artist and cooperating with other artistsin group projects. His recent solo exhibitions include one titled “Timeless” in Leipzig in 2009, “Egypt-Faces” at the Academy of Arts in Berlin and the House of the World Cultures in 2011, and “Parallel Dimension” in Riogrande, Berlin in 2014.
Tamboly has also been actively collaborating with artists from other fields, such as fashion designers and musicians like the Beatsteaks, Papa Roach, Kreator, The Bones and more.
Since 2002 Tamboly participated in numerous contests, group exhibitions, salons, festivals and biennales around the globe and co-operates and work with various artists, fashion designers, ventures and organisations in Europe and worldwide.
In challenging the sharp division between art and design, Tamboly is devoted to bridging the gap between the two, especially, to exploring the potential utility of an artwork. With his photography.
