SEA. 1917 (SOCIETY OF EGYPTIAN ARCHITECTS)

Example of recent Graduation Projects
CAIRO: A CITY OF MULTI- SOUL
Prepared by: Omar   Abouinage , cairo   University
Location :
The site is located in Aswan between the two dams on   Awaad   Island, a very important
and deeply rooted place, where the two most dominant participants are the nature and
Philae temple .
Aim :
The project is a hybrid educational institute of architecture, fashion and arts. It aims
towards creating an atmosphere that inspires the students and dig deep into their own
genes .
Wakeup call :
The project’s biggest challenge is to prove that dealing with traditional contexts doesn’t
require historical mimicry. In addition, such ancient contexts are not compatible with
imported foreign design   design   approaches that completely ignore the roots of the
place and are mostly imported   for their “wow” factor. In this context, I connected every
aspect designed with what has already been there, from the landscape to the mass
morphology till the very minute   eadical   functional details. yet nothing was copied .
