cOntrast designs is a multi-disciplinary design studio practicing in the fields of architecture, planning and interior design. It is led by 3 architects/designers practicing in Cairo, Kareem Hammouda, Mazin A.Karim, and Tamer Nader. Besides producing contemporary architecture and urbanism , they also focus on cultural analysis , critical investigations and the production of ideas.
A group of 30 students from the HTW Chur in Switzerland visited Contrast Studio last week with their professors Daniel Walser and Placido Perez. They were given a quick brief of our studio space and previous projects by studio partner Kareem Nabil. Then discussions went on between the swiss students and our own team.
Many thanks to the HTW Chur studio and to our own studio team (Marwa, Nermeen, Meral & Karim) for organizing this event.
Unfortunately our scheme was not selected as one of the winners, but was selected as one of the finalists. Finalists projects including our proposal are on show till the 15th of October at the GEM site.
