Mandara

Abstract

People coming together in certain places to escape another situation was always and interest to me. I have researched diverse cases concerning this subject, however, I limited my field of study towards one case which was Cairo versus Gated Communities. I surveyed a neighborhood in a city in Old Cairo and molded my project within the area in a hybrid strategy of taking the amenities found in Compounds and implementing them in Old Cairo in a way that is more rooted to tradition and the Egyptian Culture.
