In Egypt, the middle of the last century saw several experiments in the field of traditional craftsmanship. Handing down this knowledge and encouraging creative spontaneity in the applied arts assumed a fundamental value in the process of reinventing national identity. The work of Hassan Fathy fits within this context. The villages he designed always included one or more schools, considered essential for these villages’ birth and growth. They were flanked by other buildings dedicated to training in craftwork. The presence of such facilities in his villages highlights the meaningful social and cultural role which Fathy attributed to education and training in such contexts. This essay describes some of these experiences which, although now appearing deeply rooted in a precise historical and cultural moment, still retain a topical value thanks to the underlying ideas. |
