In recent decades of increasing shifts in ideological and socio-cultural
trends, architecture continues to be a vehicle of pluralistic
expression. As a young architect developing design skills becomes a
challenge of finding your own voice among the crowd. But, as with
any new skill, you are best positioned to succeed when you build on
the successes of others.
At the end of this process it is required to develop a program and
design a specific project in the “spirit” of the chosen architect, taking
on their philosophical, ideological and architectural role.
This project will be a residential single-family residence prototype designed “by” the architect for a residential development compound in Egypt
