As of Saturday, March 13, we invite you to delve into the world of Hassan Fathy, the "archived of the poor," through these dramatized tours of his exhibition, given by Egyptian countrywoman Mahbuba. Prior registration required. 


Hassan Fathy was passionate about his work as an architect. His humanist spirit and his enormous intellectual concerns led him to leave an important legacy behind in the form of drawings, essays and even a play titled “Los cuentos de la celosía” (“Tales of the Lattice Window”), published in 1942, in which he expressed much of his constructive philosophy and his way of understanding the relationship between individual and environment. 



We invite you to delve into the world of Hassan Fathy by enjoying a dramatized tour of the exhibition, allowing yourself to be guided through by Mahbuba, an Egyptian countrywoman who will welcome you to this universe of adobe and earth architecture...
 


“Welcome one and all to this khan, to this workshop. May name is Mahbuba, and I will show you how we make buildings here in Egypt. I am a fellaha: a countrywoman, a farmer and a craftswoman. My job is to build with adobe, which has been the foundation for all Nubian houses for a long time. Do you want to know how we build? You need only three materials. Straw, clay and water, which are easy to find around here.”
