HASSAN FATHY 2003   3من اصل4

A CASE OF CONTROVERSY
My relation with him started by denying from an educational institution which I studied
in and by contemporary professors describing Hassan’s works and thoughts in the time
of differences and after the industrial revolution as fakes:” In fact in the time that the
world reaches the moon, there is still who wants to build by mud”, and col leagues from
his generation criticized and described him as a failing experience. But once I
graduated in 1984 and returning back to Cairo, was the beginning of the architecture
friction society. But because of sometimes, or in most cases we haven’t become
accustomed to scientific research but getting it by listening in the time where therer
aren’t information network avail able for studying or searching, in this time Hassan Fathy
was known to me as a dis covery. Due to my stupidity and ignorant, my chance to meet
him directly was lost, as
I studied his approaches and works in the Masters and PhD when I was asked to teach a
lecture about Hassan Fathy the architec ture of the world 1989 (time of death) in 1990
in England Over 19 different nationalities. At this time, I was ought to return to all the
references and with these refer ences I got Hassan Fathy as development thought before
a architecture and As a reforming step in Egypt at that time when reforming was
considered to be started from the Egyptian village. Through my studies, I did Hassan’s
same trip over Nubia, Aswan and Quanah; studying tourist proj ects, mosques, models
which claimed that it represents Hassan Fathy , as well as; the Hassan Fathy’s home
model for the gradu ates. I found Hassan Fathy in Nepal, India, and in conferences in
Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and the Gulf,
