WORKSHOP The workshop on the topic of urban sustainability titled ‘CAIRO GREEN’, was based on the philosophy of ‘urban acupuncture’ where students investigated the integration of green elements in small interventions with big impact throughout the city. These included interventions at locations such as roof tops, balconies, window frames, bridges and traffic infrastructure. Students from the architecture program at AUC, as well as students from Cairo University joined the workshop team, Khaled Tarabieh from AUC and Andreas Vogler and Arturo Vittori from Architecture and Vision, for two days of discussions and studio work, exploring, investigating and developing Cairo Green strategies with minimal intervention but maximum impact.
