The Architect of Luxor

The architect and philosopher Olivier Sednaoui, disciple of Hassan Fathi, explains how he built his mud-brick house, which brings together the infinitely small and the infinitely huge, as the Egyptians did in the age of the Pharaohs. This form of harmony, largely forgotten by the end of this 20th century, is what Sednaoui is trying to rediscover. He explains the project from the molding of the very first mud brick to the life philosophy on which it is based: placing East and West under one single destiny.
