Karm Architecture Lab - KAL

Last week at the Victoria & Albert Museum’s Culture in Crisis Conference in Cairo, KarmBuild / Karm Architecture Lab and the Egyptian Heritage Rescue Foundation shared our vision for the Bab al-Wazir Creative Quarter.

Anchored around Bayt al-Razzaz and its neighboring monuments, the project reimagines the district for its potential as a living hub merging local craft stewardship, the contemporary design community, and community life.

By rehabilitating vacant buildings, creating co-working and craft hubs, and activating the streets with food vendors, events, and cultural residencies, we aim to build a self-sustaining model where heritage, economy, and community thrive together.

Heritage should not be just celebrating the past, but a continuance for a more cohesive prospective future.
