Location: Cairo-Egypt
Work: On the one hand, through my studio Urban Design Experimental Research Studio (UDERS), I explore deconstructive experimentation within urban spaces, post modern spatiality and representation of city imaging employing narratives, digital photo imaging, video stills and architectural diagrams. On the other hand as a visiting academic at University of Manchester, I have been undergoing joint research on Greater Cairo’s urban growth problems and housing crisis (published in Cities ). Further research focuses on the rehabilitation of historical Cairo (published in Habitat International and journal International Development Planning Review), the cemetery informal settlements (published in journal Arab World Geographer), and garbage collectors community (Environment and Urbanization and Habitat International) . Recent publications include street movements within Cairo’s public spaces (Environment and Urbanization) and Cairo's 19th century and early 20th century contested European Quarter and architectural heritage (International Development Planning Review).
Biographical: I was trained as an architect at Cairo University and received my PhD in Planning and Landscape from the University of Manchester (UK). I teach architecture and urban design as an Associate Professor of Urbanism at the Architecture Department- Helwan University in Cairo.
