										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">March 2025 – Ongoing; funded by </span>Ford Foundation and under the supervision of the Ministry of Social Solidarity.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Bayn</strong> is a project that centers the local community in shaping the narrative and guiding decisions across three heritage sites in Historic Cairo. Based on needs identified through on-ground research and refined through collaborative workshops, the interventions are being shaped with the community, not just for them. The project operates in three neighbourhoods:<strong> Al-Khalifa Street, Qalat al-Kabsh, and Al-Imam al-Shafii Cemetery</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bayn works on three fronts:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reclaiming in-between neglected spaces for community use.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Documenting and sharing interlinked oral histories of families in the community.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Supporting communities to lead local change by helping with placemaking, decision-making, and planning for the future.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bayn Project seeks what lies between the alive and the forgotten — to bring those spaces, stories, and voices into our shared vision.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>May 2025 – December 2025; funded by The British Council’s Cultural Protection Fund, in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.</p>
<p>This is the second phase of <a href="https://atharlina.com/projects/erth-athar-lina-heritage-and-climate-project/">ERTH &#8211; Athar Lina Climate and Heritage Project</a> that, between 2023 and 2024, worked on the conservation of two heritage sites with manifestations of damage typical of climate-change-related heritage issues in Egypt. It used conservation projects as a basis for educational and outreach activities addressing the relationship between heritage and climate change.</p>
<p>The aim of ERTH2 is fourfold:</p>
<ul>
<li>Community participation and education through heritage summer camps for children, training for residents to design and lead tours, and community events around the sites of Yahya al-Shabih Dome and Safiyy al-Din Jawhar Dome.</li>
<li>Site promotion for cultural and spiritual visitors through guided tours, public events, social media campaigns, and a new product line inspired by ERTH to support local heritage industries.</li>
<li>Site presentation through an exhibition at Yahya al-Shabih Dome displaying conserved marble elements and historic graffiti, with both physical and virtual components.</li>
<li>Sustainability and improved water use through studies and pilot activities to enhance groundwater reuse, energy efficiency, and income generation, ensuring the long-term conservation and operation of Safiyy al-Din Jawhar Dome’s dewatering system.</li>
</ul>
<p>The exhibition in Yahya al-Shabih Dome presents conserved fragments and historic inscriptions discovered during conservation, enriching its cultural value and broadening visitor experience.</p>
<p>At Safiyy al-Din Jawhar Dome, the focus is on sustaining the dewatering system — which extracts 500 m³ of groundwater daily — and exploring innovative uses of harvested water that benefit both conservation and the community.</p>
<p>Through education, exhibitions, and applied research, ERTH2 demonstrates how safeguarding heritage can simultaneously support climate resilience and community well-being.</p>
<p>This project is carried out under the supervision of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities with funding from the British Council’s Cultural Protection Fund, in partnership with the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport which supports projects which protect cultural heritage at risk due to conflict or climate change, mainly in the Middle East and parts of North and East Africa.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">October 2023 – Ongoing; Funded by the international programs affiliated with the U.S. Forest Service, in partnership with Urban Greens.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This project is implemented as part</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of Athar Lina Initiative&#8217;s efforts to develop integrated solutions for groundwater problems affecting heritage sites. By extracting groundwater from heritage sites experiencing inundation and salt dampness and subsequently repurposing it for urban farming and greening, a solution is presented for the pressing issues of food and water security while simultaneously striving towards improving the urban ecology.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The project entails a diverse array of activities and interactive workshops that aim to collaborate and engage with the residents of the neighbourhood to co-generate and co-design personalised techniques for urban agriculture and greening, with the primary aim of enhancing the overall built environment and promoting nutritious eating habits and environmentally conscious water consumption.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The result will consist of a collection of green spaces along al-Khalifa Street, managed and utilised by the local community. These areas also serve as educational hubs for residents and tourists, promoting the importance of heritage and environmental conservation.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">November 2022 – Ongoing; funded by Drosos Foundation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heritage Works aims to improve the social and economic standards of the people of al-Khalifa by providing training and employment opportunities in heritage industries, through three main pillars:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Athar Lina Heritage Education Program;</strong> that includes</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Teenagers program</span> (14 &#8211; 17 years): developing research and design-thinking skills through training programs that introduce heritage as a potential field of study and career path.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Young Adults program</span> (18 &#8211; 27 years): offering vocational training in the fields of conservation, crafts, and community activities coordination.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Women&#8217;s program</span> (18 years and above): developing self-expression and personal skills in parallel with crafts, design, and technical skills. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Nareng; </strong>formerly the Athar Lina Line, is the outcome of collaborative efforts to offer contemporary products and services stemming from the heritage of al-Khalifa by its people. Proceeds generated from the line are used to sustain the education and training programs.<br />
Discover the products at <a href="http://www.shopnareng.com">www.shopnareng.com</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Outreach and Tourism Promotion;</strong>  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heritage Works also focuses on organizing events to promote al-Khalifa’s heritage and encourage tourism in the area. The main event fulfilling this purpose is the annual Spend the Day in Khalifa (2013-present), an event that is supported by this project since 2023. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The activities offered within this project are made possible through multiple partnerships and collaborations with individuals and institutions working in all fields of heritage industries. Heritage Works is run by the BEC with funding from Drosos Foundation, in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and under the supervision of the Ministry of Social Solidarity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heritage Works builds on the experiences of Athar Lina Initiative in heritage education and industries since 2012. Initially, the focus was to cultivate a connection between the children in al-Khalifa and their heritage through the annual summer camps (2014 &#8211; present). Subsequently, the focus expanded by developing the Athar Lina Heritage Design Thinking School project (2018-2022) to enhance the research and design-thinking skills of the summer camp graduates.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>January 2023 – January 2025; funded by The British Council’s Cultural Protection Fund, in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The aim of this project is threefold: </span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Salvage interventions to save the Mamluk dome of Safiyy al-Din Jawhar and the Fatimid shrine of Yahya al-Shabih. The former is located in al-Khalifa Street and the latter in al-Imam al-Shaf’i’i cemetery. Both buildings are at risk from climate change and repairs cover common types of climate-change related damage to masonry structures in Egypt </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Production of a conservation manual detailing conservation techniques for the most common types of climate change related damage to historic buildings. This is linked to onsite, offsite and online training to improve capacities in Egypt to protect heritage from climate change.  </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Urban improvement, community education on heritage and climate change around the two sites, with a focus of salvaging and using groundwater extracted from around the two sites for the benefit of the community.  </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yahya al-Shabih Shrine is one of a cluster of Fatimid shrines all dedicated to the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. Yahya al-Shabih was called ‘the lookalike’ due to his resemblance to the prophet. Conservation work in Yahya al-Shabih Shrine focuses on structural repairs to masonry foundations and superstructures, roof repairs and dampproofing, ventilation and drainage, and conservation of wood, marble and stucco decorative elements. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Safiyy al-Din Jawhar Dome is known for the unusual carved stucco windows cutting through the walls of its rick dome. Conservation work in Safiyy al-Din Jawhar Dome focuses on dewatering, masonry repairs, and conservation of wood, stucco and stone decorative elements. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The climate change action component in this project is the culmination of a growing linkage in the work of Athar Lina between heritage and the environment. The manual is the first of its kind and is a set of instructional videos with a companion online publication. In addition to offering onsite training, further training is offered in cities at the frontline of Climate Change action on the Egyptian coast and in Upper Egypt. Community work connects the community to its heritage through direct benefit from site upgrade, signage and greening and through educational outreach activities teaching all about heritage and climate change. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This project is carried out under the supervision of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities with funding from the British Council’s Cultural Protection Fund, in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, which supports projects which protect cultural heritage at risk due to conflict or climate change, mainly in the Middle East and parts of North and East Africa.</p>

<p>A series of short films made by young residents of al-Khalifa neighbourhood in Historic Cairo, reflecting on the presence of nature within their urban neighbourhood.</p>
<p>During their two-week mid-year school break in 2023, the young filmmakers got acquainted with urban wildlife guided by various field visits inside and outside the neighbourhood. Through conceptualising, drafting, and shooting these short films on their phones, al-Khalifa youth share their relationship with their district’s natural and urban heritage.</p>
<p>The films won 1st place in the audio-visual media category of the UIA Golden Cubes Golden Cubes Awards 2023.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">September 2022 – Ongoing; funded by the Embassy of the Netherlands.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The objective of the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patterns of Cairo</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> project is to document, digitise, and democratise knowledge on patterns found within Historic Cairo, making them accessible to a wide audience. While various activities will take place to reach this objective, it will ultimately be manifested in the creation of an online open-access platform with a carefully curated selection of 200 patterns. The platform will include catered resources on patterns ranging from downloadable content such as vector files and images of patterns, historical and stylistic information on the patterns, as well as articles and features exploring alternative patterns that may not necessarily be decorative.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Through the creation of this platform, the project aims to contribute to the creative economy sector in Egypt by focusing on knowledge-sharing and providing easy access to the rich patterns and history of Historic Cairo for artists, craftspersons, and designers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The activities of this 30-month project can be divided into three main categories:</span></p>
<p><strong>Platform and content generation</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The main output of the project will be the online platform which will become a rich resource for creators and scholars alike. Much of the work that goes into producing the platform is focused on producing the drawings, photographing, and researching each of the patterns in order to offer a complete and comprehensive pattern profile. Patterns are selected to represent different time periods, styles, applications, and media, highlighting the diversity and versatility of patterns in the context of Historic Cairo. The platform itself will be developed </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">into a user-friendly interface offered in Arabic and English.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><strong>Dutch-Egyptian Cultural Exchange</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The project has a strong cultural exchange component which is mainly presented in two international workshops which will take place. The first international workshop aims to bring together Dutch and Egyptian designers to exchange and develop ideas regarding the UX/UI of the platform itself. The second international workshop focuses more on the co-creation process between designers from different design specialties. In this workshop, during the pre-launch stage of the platform, Dutch and Egyptian designers will work towards experimenting with patterns from the platform to develop innovative products. Some of these will be prototyped and exhibited during the launch of the platform and project finalisation.</span></p>
<p><strong>Awareness and Engagement</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To increase the impact and dissemination of the platform, the project aims to raise awareness and establish a grounded community in the course of the development process and leading up to the launch. As such, the project relies on its social media presence via Instagram. Through the @patternsofcairo Instagram account, the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patterns of Cairo</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> project is placed within the digital conversation amongst creators and designers, allowing engagement with the intended user base. In-line with the knowledge-sharing mission, presence on social media allows followers to share findings, engage in the dialogue, and introduce the concept of the Patterns of Cairo project to the current media landscape. Given the mainly digital mode of dissemination and access, activities are occasionally complemented with in-person and on-ground activities such as the cultural-exchange workshops and the Patterns of Cairo patterns competition.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patterns of Cairo</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> project is implemented by Megawra and initiated by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Egypt as part of its commitment to the digitisation and democratisation of knowledge.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p1">Athar Lina was commissioned to renovate this late 19th century residential building located opposite Sabil Umm ‘Abbas on al-Saliba Street. This charming courtyard house suffered from structural problems. mostly due to water damage and loss of cohesion of the upper areas. It also required basic repairs such as plastering, tilework, carpentry, electricity and plumbing.</p>
<p class="p1">Minor remodeling was also necessary to transform it into a building suited to both working and living. it serves as an office and cultural space for Athar Lina and contains residential spaces for the use of Athar Lina and the owners.</p>
<p class="p1">Its lush roof garden, watered from water harvested from the historic cistern found under the courtyard, its residential flat, and its 40 square metre qa’a are all available for rent.</p>
