The Challenge Urbanism is often seen as a blight upon the earth - a bacterial growth consuming the natural potential of the world.
But what if we could change that relationship?
What if we could think of a new class of buildings that acts as a positive force?
A new type of urbanism more like a probiotic bacteria that promotes the healing of the urban landscape?
Making the ground floor a semi-open space that visually connected to the surrounding heritage build-ings, elevation by lifting the skin gives the place the ability to act as a Central Park for people to share knowledge, play around, and hold events and talks.
Cairo suffers many problems (Traffic congestion, Poor air quality, water pollution and insufficient waste management)
