RCTH: Community Enrichment by Reviving the Crafts and Tangible Heritage of Jordanian Cities
Implemented by: Mazen Alali
City: Amman, Jordan
Implemented by: Dataland
City: Cairo, Egypt
Dataland is a collective that aims to observe, collect and publish data on the built environment of Cairo and to propose ideas relevant to the observed needs, on architectural and urban levels.
The city of Cairo has grown enormously in recent years and Dataland is focused on pointing out transformation opportunities. Through the use of architectural drawings, maps, diagrams, photographs, and experimental visuals, each Dataland issue will cover a specific building typology. The first issue will focus on administrative buildings that are being emptied out in the process of relocation to the New Administrative Capital. The research outcome will be published through bilingual (EN/AR) printed material as well as an online platform with a digital archive. The project’s goal is to popularise the concept of adaptive reuse by providing a visual catalogue of potential repurposing projects to local residents in the hopes of kindling the imagination of architects and non-architects alike.
