Abstract:<\/p>\n

After the pyramids and the mamluk monuments, the tall red-brick buildings are what epitomizes Cairo\u2019s landscape the best. While they are often associated to the image of Cairo\u2019s informal neighbourhoods, they are also the reflection of the building practices that prevail in the capital. This presentation discusses them through two angles: the improvement of the domestic space and the architects\u2019 professional practice. While the later claims monopoly over building\u2019s design, this paper sheds light at the logics driving home improvement projects when no architect is involved.<\/p>\n

Dalila\u00a0Ghodbane<\/strong> is an architect, urban planner (ENSA Paris la Villette and the\u00a0French Institute of Urbanism) and associate researcher at the Cedej. In\u00a02021, she defended her doctoral dissertation\u00a0entitled \u201cWithout a Plan? An Ethnography of Architecture, Domestic\u00a0Microclimates, and Building Practices in Contemporary Cairo\u201d at the Academy of\u00a0Architecture in Mendrisio,\u00a0in Switzerland.\u00a0She has been an SNSF Doc-Mobility visiting doctoral\u00a0fellow at the\u00a0University of Oxford Brookes (2020). Her research interest is at the\u00a0intersection of architecture and the social sciences, which\u00a0enables her to\u00a0address urban development from the perspective of lived experience. Her recent\u00a0publications include: \u201cL\u2019air et la mani\u00e8re. Pratiques\u00a0et savoir-faire thermiques dans les espaces\u00a0domestiques du Caire\u201d in\u00a0Urbanit\u00e9s\u00a0#12 \/ La ville (s)low tech<\/em>\u00a0(2019), \u201cBuilding Bonds, or the Science of\u00a0Social Connection\u201d in\u00a0J.
