Arch. Waleed Arafa talking to my Design 3 students at the AAST. Feb. 20th 2019,Cairo, Egypt
A three hour long discussion between Arch. Waleed Arafa (MSc) and the students of my Design III Studio. The discussion was about his philosophy in architecture and the theme of 'Function, Forces and Form'. He presented several of his architectural projects, including his most recent famous Basouna Mosque in Sohag, Egypt.
The discussion took place at the Arab Academy for Science and Technology (AAST), with the students of the class 1610 and some of the faculty members of the Department of Architectural Engineering and Environmental Design.
Course: Architectural Design III (Class: Dr. Ramy Bakir)
Semester: Spring 2019
-------------------------------------
Waleed Arafa is the founder and principal of Dar Arafa Architecture, Cairo, Egypt. In 2001 he earned a B.Sc. in architecture, urban design and planning, from the Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. He then joined the internationally renowned architectural practice based in Los Angeles; Naga Studio Architecture+Urbanism, where he participated in a number of projects such as the World Trade Center Memorial competition in Manhattan, the Oqyana man-made islands in Dubai and The New Masterplan for the Giza Pyramids Plateau in Egypt, all under the mentorship of the international master of architecture Tarek Naga. In 2006 he established Dar Arafa Architecture, where he designed and built his first solo project; Dar Arafa Residence, which was nominated for the Aga Khan Award 2010 (11th cycle), as well as the Bibliotheca Alexandrina award for architecture known as the Hassan Fathy Award 2009. In 2015 he earned a Post-graduate degree in the Conservation of Historical Buildings, from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, UK. His thesis was entitled: “The Mosque in Britain: British Heritage?”
Waleed continues to research, design and build with an aim in mind; understanding the essence of the architecture of Islam. He is hoping that one day he may be able to revive it and relink his practice to its forgotten chain of transmission. He believes that Islam can inspire new approaches to architecture offering the world ways out of its spiritual, intellectual and creative deadlock. His approach is based on finding ways to continuing the discontinued architectural past of countries with an established legacy in the architecture of Islam, such as and especially Egypt. But equally, looking into how to bring forth new architecture(s) of Islam in completely new contexts, which have their own time-honored architectural traditions, nonetheless have no precedent in producing architecture of Islam in particular, such as that of Britain and/or the Occident at large.

Improving access to drinking water / Job Creation in Sharkia
In collaboration with water and wastewater companies in the governorate of Sharkia, new pipes were installed to extend potable water network in selected localities. The extension of the potable network not only generated short term jobs but increases the number of beneficiaries with access to drinking water. Providing access to potable water at home is a highly gender-sensitive contribution. A large number of inhabitants in the villages still use public taps to acquire their daily potable water needs. This entails long and tiresome daily trips mostly done by young and female family members that could otherwise use their time in productive activities.
In Sharkia governorate, the constructed potable network covered 56.9 km, creating 24,002 workdays in 2012-2013.
This project is part of UNDP's Job Creation in Public Works programme. Implemented in partnership with the Social Fund for Development and the Government of Japan, the programme aims to help reduce youth unemployment in Egypt's poorest governorates. To learn more, please visit:

A mummy is a deceased human or an animal whose skin and organs have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold, very low humidity, or lack of air, so that the recovered body does not decay further if kept in cool and dry conditions. Some authorities restrict the use of the term to bodies deliberately embalmed with chemicals, but the use of the word to cover accidentally desiccated bodies goes back to at least 1615 CE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mummy is a deceased human or an animal whose skin and organs have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold, very low humidity, or lack of air, so that the recovered body does not decay further if kept in cool and dry conditions. Some authorities restrict the use of the term to bodies deliberately embalmed with chemicals, but the use of the word to cover accidentally desiccated bodies goes back to at least 1615 CE (See the section Etymology and meaning).
Mummies of humans and other animals have been found on every continent,[1] both as a result of natural preservation through unusual conditions, and as cultural artifacts. Over one million animal mummies have been found in Egypt, many of which are cats.[2]
In addition to the well-known mummies of ancient Egypt, deliberate mummification was a feature of several ancient cultures in areas of America and Asia with very dry climates. The Spirit Cave mummies of Fallon, Nevada in North America were accurately dated at more than 9,400 years old. Before this discovery, the oldest known deliberate mummy was a child, one of the Chinchorro mummies found in the Camarones Valley, Chile, which dates around 5050 BCE.[3] The oldest known naturally mummified human corpse is a severed head dated as 6,000 years old, found in 1936 CE at the site named Inca Cueva No. 4 in South America.[4]
The English word Mummy is derived from medieval Latin mumia, a borrowing of the medieval Arabic word mūmiya (مومياء) and from a Persian word mūm (wax),[5] which meant an embalmed corpse, and as well as the bituminous embalming substance, and also meant bitumen.[6] The Medieval English term mummy was defined as medical preparation of the substance of mummies, rather than the entire corpse, with Richard Hakluyt in 1599 CE complaining that these dead bodies are the Mummy which the Phisistians and Apothecaries doe against our willes make us to swallow.[7] These substances were defined as mummia.
The first modern scientific examinations of mummies began in 1901, conducted by professors at the English-language Government School of Medicine in Cairo, Egypt. The first X-ray of a mummy came in 1903, when professors Grafton Elliot Smith and Howard Carter used the only X-ray machine in Cairo at the time to examine the mummified body of Thutmose IV.[12] British chemist Alfred Lucas applied chemical analyses to Egyptian mummies during this same period, which returned many results about the types of substances used in embalming. Lucas also made significant contributions to the analysis of Tutankhamun in 1922.[13]
Pathological study of mummies saw varying levels of popularity throughout the 20th century.[14] In 1992, the First World Congress on Mummy Studies was held in Puerto de la Cruz on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. More than 300 scientists attended the Congress to share nearly 100 years of collected data on mummies. The information presented at the meeting triggered a new surge of interest in the subject, with one of the major results being integration of biomedical and bioarchaeological information on mummies with existing databases. This was not possible prior to the Congress due to the unique and highly specialized techniques required to gather such data.[15]
In more recent years, CT scanning has become an invaluable tool in the study of mummification by allowing researchers to digitally unwrap mummies without risking damage to the body.[16] The level of detail in such scans is so intricate that small linens used in tiny areas such as the nostrils can be digitally reconstructed in 3-D.[17] Such modelling has been utilized to perform digital autopsies on mummies to determine cause of death and lifestyle, such as in the case of Tutankhamun.[18]
Scans reveal the medical history of Egyptian mummy
(26 Jul 2016) LEAD IN:
Israel's National Museum is set to display a 2,200-year-old Egyptian mummy who experts say was burdened with some modern-day afflictions like osteoporosis and tooth decay.
The findings, discovered using CT scans, indicate that during his lifetime the mummy was largely sedentary, avoiding manual labour in the sun.
STORY-LINE:
From the depths of time to a museum display case. At Israel's National Museum, one of its newest exhibits is around 2,200-years-old.
This mummy - named the Protective Eye of Horus, after a pharaonic deity - is thought to be the only one in Israel.
It was for decades kept at a Jesuit institute in Jerusalem before being loaned to Israel's National Museum.
Here, it's set to be displayed in a museum setting for the very first time from Wednesday (27 July) onwards.
What's really important about our exhibition is it gives us an opportunity to show really a resplendent example of the practice of mummification toward the end several thousand years of the Egyptian dynastic tradition, says museum director, James Snyder
And to do scientific analysis that tells us quite a lot about the time and about the culture in which the high priest, who became this mummy, lived.
The museum says that thanks to the Egyptian embalming processes and Jerusalem's dry climate, the mummy's bones, teeth and blood vessels were found largely intact.
This assisted them in their research into his identity.
Researchers studied the mummy's remains earlier this year using a CT scanner. The technology allowed them to discover health issues and determine the mummy's gender and age at his death - between 30 and 40-years-old.
They found he had been afflicted with osteoporosis and tooth cavities and probably ate a carbohydrate-heavy diet.
The mummy underwent CT scans at the Karmel Medical Center, we discovered that this is a man, relatively old for that period, 30-40-years-old, the researchers also discovered, to their amazement, that the man suffered from osteoporosis, explains Galit Bennett, who curated the mummy exhibit.
There are several bone fractures that also indicate it, he also suffered from caries (tooth decay) and receding gums which makes it possible to know what was his diet in that time.
The research builds on previous international studies on mummies which showed they had such diseases in their lifetimes.
The museum says his apparently sedentary lifestyle as well as inscriptions on his coffin indicate he was a priest.
Osteoporosis is a disease that is characteristic of the 20th century, when people don't work so hard, explains Bennett.
We are glued to screens, we are glued to the TV, this is why this disease broke out in such intensity. And usually in early periods people went out, worked, people were engaged in physical activity and therefore the surprise was enormous to realise that there are people that were not engaged in physical activity and it affects their body, like this man (mummy on display) here, alongside the details found in the coffin and inscriptions apparently he was a priest and apparently did not work hard and do forced labour, didn't go outside much and therefore the disease festered within him.
The museum says the mummy is originally from Akhmim, some 480 kilometers south of present-day Cairo, and was gifted to the Jesuit Pontifical Biblical Institute in Jerusalem in the 1920s by Jesuits in Alexandria, Egypt.
The mummy was encased in a gold and black coffin and wrapped in strands of linen, a gold, red and black mask placed atop its concealed skull.

A VISIT TO CAIRO EGYPT TO SEE THE PYRAMIDS OF GIZA DON PUGH PT II OF II
Cairo/Ciaro (Arabic: القاهرة transliteration: Al-Qahirah), which means The Vanquisher or The Triumphant, is the capital city of Egypt. While Al-Qahirah is the official name of the city, in Egyptian Arabic it is typically called simply by the name of the country, Masr (Egypt). It has a metropolitan area population of officially about 11.1 million people. Today, Greater Cairo encompasses various historic towns and modern districts into one of the most populous cities in the world. A journey through Cairo is a virtual time travel: from the Pyramids, Saladin's Citadel, the Virgin Mary's Tree, the Sphinx, and ancient Heliopolis, to Al-Azhar, the Mosque of Amr ibn al-A'as, Saqqara, the Hanging Church, and the Cairo Tower. It is the Capital of Egypt, and indeed its history is intertwined with that of the country. Today, Cairo's official name is Al-Qahira (Cairo), although the name informally used by most Egyptians is Masr (Egyptian Arabic name for Egypt). [edit] Era of the Pharaohs (BC 3500 - BC 30) The Great Sphinx of Giza is in Giza near Cairo The Great Sphinx of Giza is in Giza near Cairo Long before the pyramids were built, Egypt's northern and southern territories were ruled separately. It was about 5000 years ago that a young prince by the name of Narmer (Menes) unified the Red (North) and White (South) kingdoms and became Egypt's first Pharaoh. As brilliant a politician as he was a warrior, Narmer chose the site of Memphis as his capital. The city was situated at the then Nile Delta tip, along the North-South border, and about 25 km south of today's downtown Cairo. For the next 800 years or so, the first Capital of the ancient Egyptians prospered under the rule of Zoser, Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren), Menkaure (Mycerinus), Unas, and others. It became one of the most influential and powerful cities in the world, and housed one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza. Constructed on the Giza plateau, a necropolis of the city of Memphis on the Nile's west bank, the three Great Pyramids are the ultimate manifestation of political stability and power of the ruler during the Third and Fourth Dynasties. Khufu's son built 2 of the Giza pyramids.

Secrets of an Egyptian mummy are revealed
(22 Aug 2009) SHOTLIST
Stanford University - August 20, 2009
1. Wide of mummy being moved into scanner
2. Close and pan of mummy
3. SOUNDBITE (English): Professor Paul Brown, Stanford University Dept. of Surgery:
Our job is to reconstruct the mummy, visualise it, and use it for medical education - on all levels from grade school through medical school. Patient education, we'll use it. It's a mummy so it makes the interest factor high.
4. Mummy's feet
5. Scientists look at mummy's feet
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Renee Dreyfus, Curator Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
The mummies from this area are not royal but they're upper classes and upper-middle class. Our mummy happens to be, in addition to other things, a priest of the God Min.
7. Wide profile of mummy
8. Mummy torso shot from above
9. SOUNDBITE (English): Professor Paul Brown, Stanford University Dept. of Surgery:
This particular scanner is a high-contrast scanner so it doesn't do soft tissue very well, so you can see the bones much more clearly than you can on a hospital scanner. The resolution is 190 microns. A hospital scanner is 750 microns so the quality of the scan is far superior.
10. Technicians looks at scan images
11. Images with mummy being scanned in the background
12. Close up of scan image
13. SOUNDBITE: (English) Renee Dreyfus, Curator Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
We're going to learn specifically about him, but also other mummies from this site about how they lived, how old they were, did they have all their teeth?, what kind of medical procedures might they have? Some mummies actually have metal bands that held bones together so we know they set bones.
14. Low angle mummy shot
15. SOUNDBITE (English): Professor Paul Brown, Stanford University Dept. of Surgery:
We'll look at everything. We'll look at every bone in the body. We'll look to see if there are any fractures or anything displaced. We'll look at normal anatomy. We're particularly interested in the head and neck.
16. Mummy head close
17. SOUNDBITE: (English) Renee Dreyfus, Curator Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
You think of ancient Egypt, mummies come to mind. The pyramids and mummies and part of that is knowing you're looking into the face of someone who lived 3 or 4,000 years ago. And, what can be more exciting than that? to be able to bring an ancient culture to life through representatives that actually lived there at that time.
18. Mummy head with head scan in background
LEADIN
Scientists are hoping high tech scans of an ancient Egyptian mummy will unlock the secrets of the past.
The 2,500-year-old mummy is believed to be an ancient Egyptian priest.
STORYLINE
In a basement lab at Stanford University Medical School, Irethorrou's mummy lays tightly wrapped in tattered linen as a handful of scientists look on.
Starting with his feet, the scanner rotates around the mummy, snapping X-ray type images that appeared on nearby computer screens.
The pictures, showing well-preserved bone structure, are mathematically manipulated to generate 3-D images that give a fuller picture of the skeleton.
Professor Paul Brown, from the Stanford University Dept. of Surgery, says the pictures will also be useful for teaching anatomy to everyone from small children through medical school.
Irethorrou's mummy was dug up from a cemetery in Akhmim, on the east bank of the Nile.
Akhmim was an important provincial capital and the site of one of Egypt's major temples.
The maternal relatives of the more famous King Tut also came from there.
Renee Dreyfus, Curator Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, says
Scientists have not been able to pinpoint Irethorrou's age when he died or his cause of death.
The scanning tests may help them get a little closer.
