Cairobserver — The "White City" and Egypt's modernist heritage

I wanted to share this article which touches closely to my heart. Over the years, I have become more and more interested in architecture and how it influences the mind and soul, and what role it plays in our historical memory.  As a someone who is in love with Tel Aviv and its architecture, I was happy to come across this article. While I do not agree with all of the author's conclusions, it is certainly worth the read! It also brought memories of my trip to Tunis, where I saw many parallel examples of modernist architecture, and more specifically Bauhaus inspired.
