Open The Gates: New Cairo City, Egypt

Abstract: This thesis project explores the relationship between social and spatial factors on many different levels: relation between two kinds of people living standards; buildings and the land; indoors and outdoors spaces; public and private. So coexistence, communication, and interaction are my keywords to translate all my ideas in a project. How to shape people’s daily life? How to encourage them to open their closed doors and let them communicate in a livable environment? How to activate streets for everyone, not only for people in cars? How to provide open recreation areas and remove barriers? How to free minds and let people experience happy moments?
