THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CAIRO
Description:
Two striped arches on one side, one slightly smaller than the other, bowing together to create an impossible bridge where they alluringly meet in the middle. The design of the coin shows the impact of University’s architecture past and present on AUCians, seeing architecture as the connecting dot between all the generations. It embodies how AUCians relate to AUC’s architecture, specifically its idiosyncratic arches and portals.
