This is the case of Egyptian Judges Club. This is how they are building a barrier to prevent the Egyptians from enjoying the Nile. This is a crime from the people who should protect people's rights.

Architectural Crimes

At Kuwait downtown, this is what I call an architectural crime. Abuse of architectural styles and mixing languages in a very negative manner.

Here is my new contribution in what seems to me like the most vital channel for discussing architecture, urbanism and culture of Cairo. So Proud of CairoObserver and the outstanding exemplary effort by my dear friend and brother Mohamed Elshahed.

Learning from Cairo, a conference organized by CLUSTER (Cairo Lab for Urban Studies, Training and Environmental Research) and the American University in Cairo which will take place April 12th - 14th, 2013 at AUC Tahrir Campus.

Learning from Cairo seeks to engage the current political and urban transformation unfolding in Cairo as a critical context for examining relevant international case studies and best practices in areas ranging from housing, transportation, public space, and local governance to informality. Learning from Cairo emphasizes a comparative and interdisciplinary approach bringing practitioners, academics, officials and local stakeholders into dialogue, with the objective of generating an ongoing critical urban discourse, and future visions for Cairo.
