Luxor: hybrid architecture and its imagery

This dissertation is an exploration of architecture in Egypt. Among the first issues addressed are the notion of tradition and its interpretations in architecture. The question of identity. Understanding what is and is not authentic in a changing world. We will also talk about imagery. And finally, the theme of colonisation and its impact on architectural forms.
Three parts:
I- A history of Egypt through the lens architectural evolution
II- The various interpretations of tradition in philosophy and the perspective of an Egyptian architect.
III- Case study on Luxor. Analysis aimed at responding to the following problem: Despite a change in tradition, does the current architecture in Luxor embody a relevant contextual adaptation?

“Avec du recul, je prends conscience que le chemin parcouru est celui de la déconstruction de mon propre imaginaire sur Louxor. Laisser de côté la vision idyllique sur la ville des Pharaons en se mettant en quête de réalité.”
