Reviving Al-Nazlah Center, Gallery and Service / Oriental Group Architects + Hamdy El-Setouhy
This intervention of reviving the Al-Nazlah area in Fayoum aims to create a pilot project in contexts of specificity. The valuable district incubates pottery workshops which have been producing special pots used for construction since Ancient Egyptian Civilization. Thus, the upgraded construction technique which enhanced the bonding material by gluing the pots together with the help of lab experiments maintained the traditional technique. Also, new forms have been introduced for roofing construction, which enabled the local community to explore a wider range of spans by introducing domes & vaults constructed by pots.
