Ta'et Nour is a mixed use urban project on the outskirts of the Assiut, Egypt. The project is designed as a humanitarian response to the needs of the residents of an informal settlement, located under high voltage power lines, causing them serious health risk. This project aims to relocate the residents to a micro self-sufficient community. After studying the vernacular in its traditional form one can retrieve the value of the architecture found in informal settlements which enabled the creation of a design language that provides sustainability, ease of construction, and aesthetic fulfillment.
