concept • A research project in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura e Centro Archeologico Italiano - Il Cairo, the Italian Embassy and the National Organization for Urban Harmony of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture addressing the impact of European Architecture on Egypt, the research outcomes was presented in the form of a manuscript and a photographical exhibition, We started off with Italian Architecture, This was the first of a series of exhibitions by which we aim to spot the impact of European Architecture on the architecture scene in Egypt, and the next exhibition will highlight French Architecture in Egypt. • The captivating photos reveal the details of architectural gems that started to flourish in the streets of Cairo, Alexandria, and Port Said since the beginning of the 19th century. • The idea of the exhibition came due to the influence of Egyptian urbanism by Italian urbanism and Italian architects who had a clear impact and imprint on Egyptian urbanism, and the urbanization reflected the extent to which the Egyptian culture was affected by Italian culture and their merging with each other, The exhibition was attended by many public figures, media professionals, architects and the Italian community, who expressed their great admiration for the exhibition.
