المسكن الإسلامي المعاصر في مصر بين الشكل و المضمون

الملخص EN

The Egyptian "authentic" architecture has ceased to develop, even became impassable, and
has been stymied by the "expatriate" Western architecture that has spread throughout the
Egyptian society since the early 19th century, either Because of colonialism or the desire
for change and imitation.

Therefore, the Egyptian architect stopped the original production
and innovation, and became driven by the the West, grabbing from them all the modern
and innovative ideas and principles of technology, which led to the ence of our heritage
and the acquisition of authentic architecture, as if the possibility of local link to Islamic
architecture can't happen without returning to that old image, which has already lost much
of its brilliance, as a result of the careless indiscriminate practices by many architects.

In
light of this civilized situation, to which the contemporary Egyptian architecture has
reached, and the Islamic Egyptian architecture that has been stagnant for nearly two
centuries, the issue of survival and development has become a real dilemma.

Although this
heritage architecture has lived for hundreds of years, it still has the bear ability in the
contemporary environment.

Therefore, this research aims to find a new approach that can
integrate the originality of our Islamic heritage and its development.

Islamic architecture
alone can not be the driving force of creativity and innovation, but it involves the
influences and potentials to stimulate creativity.

Thus, formal structures of heritage
architecture can be translated in a new, innovative and contemporary way to cope with the
modern development of architecture, and then go beyond the mere formal understanding
of that architecture.
