El Azhar Park: A Social Recreational and Environmentaly Firiendly Landscape



Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations, rich in natural and manmade landscapes of genuine beauty. Despite the long tradition and history of landscaping in Egypt which is both productive and aesthetic, current landscape designs are mainly focusing on ornamental qualities. With the GUC lecture series we want to look at landscape through the eyes of various practitioners, researchers and professionals in the field. We are inviting designers and a new generation of agriculturalists from Egypt and abroad to discuss potential synergies hidden within the contemporary landscapes of Egypt.
