AN ARCHITECTURE FOR PEOPLE: HASSAN FATHY

A comprehensive architectural book featuring the complete works of Hassan Fathy.

This book chronicles the life and work of Hassan Fathy, one of the most influential Third World architects of the 20th century. His ideas, formulated before his death in 1989, have become a crucial element of the global architectural agenda, particularly in developing countries. Fathy's buildings can be found worldwide, from Egypt to India and New Mexico. The author conducted extensive interviews with Fathy himself, as well as clients, family, disciples, and friends before his passing. Research in Cairo and Greece (where Fathy worked from 1957 to 1962) uncovered many previously undocumented projects, and the author cites the architect's personal notes and journals. Fathy's entire career is chronologically reviewed, from his graduation in 1926 to the 20 years following his return to Egypt in 1962, which was the most productive period of his life.
