Recenzii
’In this book, Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem, gives us a comprehensive, well-illustrated, and nicely written narrative of The Architecture of Home in Cairo. It is a thorough study of domestic space over many centuries with a clear account of the transformation that dwellings in Cairo have undergone in the past few centuries. That this comes to us from a Cairene who clearly loves his city is an additional treat allowing us to see with him how houses have been turned into homes over time in a city that never ceases to surprise.’ Nezar AlSayyad, University of California, Berkeley, USA

Descriere
This book firstly describes the historical development of the domestic spaces (indoor and outdoor), and provides an inclusive analysis of spaces of everyday activities in the hawari of old Cairo. It then broadens its analysis to other parts of the city, highlighting different customs and representations of home in the city at large. Cairo, in the context of this book, is represented as the most sophisticated urban centre in the Middle East with different and sometimes contrasting approaches to the architecture of home, as a practice and spatial system.
