and friends for open discussions on architecture (see Al-Ahram Weekly: Remembering 'the Master'.
Although Fathy passed away in 1989 after a long career, his ideas are being discussed in classrooms today as though they were just conceived. Though he left no biological descendants his knowledge and legacy have been passed on to admirers and emulators around the world. His vision of "a whole new architecture" carries on.
Much of this information has been taken from An Architecture for People: the Complete Works of Hassan Fathy by James Steele (1997, Thames and Hudson Limited, London)
