A part of a research team project in contemporary architecture course.
TOPIC:
"local academic circles usually are interested in understanding Western architecture, yet rarely
the attention is paid to the East or the South. This stems from the general belief that the South
is not a source of inspiration or learning. However, in this research the aim is to get into the
contemporary African architecture and to understand the Egyptian practice as part of this
region that shares common challenges and dreams. Issues of environment and globalization
are central in the contemporary African practice that are also with great importance to the
Egyptian practice."
