Hassan Fathy

The egyptian architect

- here on the blog are some pictures of his market in the Kharga Oasis, Egypt

During our honeymoon to Egypt, we decided to go for one night in the Sahara desert, near the Kharga Oasis.

On our way there, we passed a market place that was designed by one of the greatest architects in the egyptian history, Hassan Fathy. Unfortenately, the marketplace was never to be completed, but I guess it was a very good start.

Here you have some pictures from the Kharga marketplace in New Baris. Look at the very nice “air cooling system“.
