I will make up a song and sing it in a theatre with the night air above my head.
Egypt’s only modernist architect Hassan Fathy (1900-1989) was committed to ecology and sustainability in his architecture. This film takes us with slow steps, in still images, to two villages he created. Fathy’s historically grounded, forward-looking designs prompt us to reflect on the past as well as contemplate new solutions for the future.
