“Architecture for the Poor” Hebrew translation of the seminal book by Hassan Fathy
This book is an appeal for a new attitude to rural rehabilitation.Hassan Fathy
Description
Vision
This project aims at introducing the practice and theory of the worldly-acclaimed Arab architect, Hassan Fathy to Israeli audience for the first time.
Activity
This will be done through the distribution of a new Hebrew translation of Fathy’s seminal book “Architecture for the Poor”, as well as through a series of public activities in art centers and academies around Israel. With this project we hope to support and promote substantial architecture and economic urban planning as an alternative to the prevailing hyper-capitalism, to widen the knowledge of the people in Israel regarding Egyptian culture and, to contribute to the discourse on the history and the legacy of local Arab Palestinian Architecture.
