Construction process
Borg El Amal was inspired by the buildings commonly found in the informal housing quarters around and inside Cairo. The "ashwa'iyat" (informal housing) make up more than 40 percent of the city of Cairo. Many of them are windowless tower constructions, often aligned in endless rows, without any public services.
