Terhal Project (Architecture & Nomadism)

”Terhal” project is a series of architectural workshops held in different places in Egypt which have a unique architectural style such as: western desert oases, Mediterranean cities, Upper Egypt cities and villages, Sinai, Cairo, Suez-canal cities, Red-sea shore, Delta, Nubia. The aim of the project and the workshops is to propose architectural solutions and proposals to redevelop these places and to conserve its unique style that is threatened to vanish. The project targets young architects and architecture students.
Nomadism and traveling is one of the important activities of an architect, in which he/she goes to the site and lives in it for a period of time, with its people, and study its architectural style, so that he/she can propose solutions that suits its weather, environment, and nature.
Our aim is to promote and preserve the Egyptian architectural heritage and its development in a scientific way by finding solutions and making experimental proposals.
