Main Goal
Palestine Street, located on the waterfront in Port Said, is one of the city’s oldest streets. As a prominent boulevard adorned with iconic structures, it has traditionally greeted incoming ships, serving as their initial captivating sight upon arrival. Over time, this street has witnessed numerous historic events. Now it is a lively area encompassing retail establishments and public spaces. The group’s primary goal involved documenting the narratives emerging from the Suez Canal and studying the evolving scenery across the canal.
Moreover, they aimed to integrate a fresh and contemporary layer by incorporating people’s perspectives and narratives concerning the current state of affairs in the city. The group consisted of five individuals with diverse architecture, urban planning, and urban design backgrounds. Their educational levels varied from undergraduate to postgraduate studies.
