Architect and urban heritage consultant based between Alexandria and Marseille, with more
than 20 years of multidisciplinary experience working across Egypt and the Mediterranean at
the intersection of architecture, culture, heritage, and cities’ sustainable development. His work
focuses on how tangible and intangible heritage can be mobilised as a tool for inclusive,
resilient, and culturally grounded urban development, particularly in cities facing rapid
transformation. Alongside his consultancy and research work, he maintains an artistic and
visual practice grounded in drawing, mapping, and spatial observation. This practice is not
separate from his professional work; rather, it informs the approach to urban analysis,
documentation, and community engagement. Through exhibitions, publications, and public
programmes, he uses artistic tools to make urban heritage visible, accessible, and open to
dialogue, particularly in cities where heritage is under pressure from development, neglect, or
erasure. These methods have proven effective in fostering public awareness, civic engagement,
and interdisciplinary exchange around urban issues.
