The MEC unit at the Chair of Landscape Architecture invites interested students and young graduates in Egypt to apply for the Urban (Heritage) Narratives workshop that will take place in Port Said from 9th to 16th of March 2023.
This workshop is the first event in the series of activities planned for the project "Bazar Abbas: Recovery Lab of Port Said'' and will address the questions of urban narratives and collective memory, conflict and recovery, urban mapping and heritage interpretation through the perspective of local communities in Port Said. During the workshop, participants will be provided with various inputs addressing the above-mentioned themes and then will carry out a practice to document and map local-centered urban narratives of Port Said affected by years of war and conflicts in the city. Timber veranda or Taracina as an integral component of Port Said`s Architecture will be regarded as a leading element during the practice.
