Tarek Waly Centre (Articles)
Thanks to Geoffrey Tassie for sending me the links to the above site, which has open access publications.
PHILOSOPHY
Our founding as a heritage planning and architectural practice evolved around the cultural continuum … Our prime responsibility; helping perpetuate this continuum, by both drawing on past practitioners and, looking to pass it on to the coming generations
Social-urban heritage and the architecture of the place are the heart of our interest and expertise…Through analytically reading and critiquing this built – or at times, once built - heritage, we explore the geometry and patterns that provided it its being... its value
Our urban and architectural contributions to places of either a strong or a nascent heritage value, respect and, are informed by these geometries in an attempt to accomplish a lasting and relevant architecture... and heritage
SERVICES
The Tarek Waly Center, Architecture & Heritage was founded in 1998 to create a vision for the historic quarter of Cairo.
Since then we have established ourselves as a heritage planning practice with a portfolio of almost twenty heritage sites including the Giza Pyramids World Heritage Site.
Our interests and experience cover;
- Research on the historic value of a site or place in the form of a complete overview and time-line
- Urban and architectural design and design-guidelines for the immediate and surrounding built environment
- Design of the visitor experience
