CURRICULUM VITAE MOHAMED RAFIK A. MEGUID SADEK Personal Statement A challenging and determined Architect aiming for a career in Architecture, Urban Planning and Management while retaining the balance between academic involvement and professional experiences. It is difficult to Ignore the rapid pace of Urbanization and the need for new settlements globally since statistics indicate that the world urban population will reach 70 per-cent in 2050. Growing up in Egypt, my interests lie in the field of sustainable development of Urban settlements especially in Arid regions, such passion is inspired by living, studying, teaching and working in a Desert Settlement in Giza. I learned from my Undergraduate degree under the supervision of my professors who were disciples of a Famous Egyptian Architect (Hassan Fathi) whose Projects were mostly about vernacular architecture in Arid regions in the Middle East. After graduation, i started my professional experience in An Urban/Architectural practice (CLUSTER) founded by my Professor Dr. Omar Nagati. Graduating top of my class, i was awarded a Scholarship for an MSC in Project Management in the University of Greenwich, London, UK, which was completed successfully with distinction. My thesis was entitled “Measuring the Sustainability of Urban Developments in New Desert Communities (The Case of Haram City in Giza, Egypt)” Afterwards I returned to Cairo to take the post of Lecturer’s Assistant as well as working as a part-timer in CLUSTER.
