DESCRIPTION:[b]About the event[/b]\nThis talk investigates the philosophic
 al and practical questions surrounding our relationship with archaeologic
 al heritage within the deeply layered fabric of selected Egyptian cities\
 , including Alexandria\, Cairo\, Luxor\, Esna\, and Abu Simbel. It critiq
 ues the systematic isolation of ancient monuments from their contemporary
  surroundings\, examining the ethical and existential tensions of preserv
 ing material remains within living urban landscapes. The discussion contr
 asts the protective invisibility of backfilling with the decontextualizat
 ion inherent in relocating artifacts to distant mega-museums. As a vital 
 alternative\, the presentation explores the potential of revealing remain
 s [i]in situ[/i]\, allowing modern communities to actively coexist with t
 heir material history. By analyzing urban accumulation through the dual l
 enses of vertical and horizontal archaeology\, this inquiry argues that E
 gypt’s ruins must not be treated merely as passive historical traces. Ins
 tead\, it proposes re-conceptualizing these multi-layered sites as active
 \, dynamic spaces that directly intersect with\, and enrich contemporary 
 Egyptian identity and lived experiences. \n[b]About the guest[/b]\nAlaa e
 l-Habashi is an Egyptian professor of architecture and heritage conservat
 ion in the Department of Architecture at Menoufia University. He received
  his MS and Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. His research and p
 raxis focus on establishing a preservation framework that respects the sp
 ecificities of local histories and cultural traditions. Over the past 25 
 years of active practice across Egypt and several Arab countries\, he has
  developed tailored architectural and urban conservation approaches desig
 ned to protect diverse historic structures\, environmental values\, and l
 ocal heritage. Additionally\, Dr. el-Habashi has extensive experience ass
 isting in the nomination\, management\, and evaluation of World Heritage 
 sites. He serves on the editorial advisory board of the [i]Journal of Cul
 tural Heritage Management and Sustainable Development[/i]. Driven by a co
 mmitment to community-led preservation\, he established [i]Bayt al-Yakani
 ya[/i] in Al-Darb al-Ahmar—an initiative that leverages local heritage to
  achieve sustainable development within Historic Cairo. \n\n[i]This event
