Hassan Fathy 1986: Try to Bridge the Existing Gap

”The architect must renew architecture from the moment when it was  abandoned; and he must try to bridge the existing gap in its development by analyzing the elements of change, applying modern techniques to modify the valid methods established by our ancestors, and then developing new solutions that satisfy modern needs.” 
Hassan Fathy, 1986
