Created since almost four years, the International Association Save the heritage of Hassan Fathy is glad to
announce a positive record. Indeed, amongst many actions, it has accomplished the
following:
-
mobilizing specialists in mud brick architecture on an international level
-
referring the emergency of rescuing New Gourna to Unesco, convincing to undertake restoration and revitalization of the model village of
New Gourna
The recent events in Egypt have
unfortunately stopped an ongoing process. The relationship between Unesco and the
Egyptian institutional partners was interrupted, but time will come to reestablish the
dialogue. In the meantime the Association needs financial support
to continue undertaken emergency operations – stabilization, restoration and renovation, to
avoid that this extremely rich educational world heritage disappears forever.
We thank you in advance for support
and donations for the STABILIZATION OF HASSAN FATHY'S HOUSE in New Gourna!

Constituée depuis bientôt quatre ans l’Association internationale Save the heritage of
Hassan Fathy peut se féliciter d’un bilan qui n’est pas négligeable. Parmi ses nombreuses ections, elle a en effet réussi à :
-
mobiliser l’attention internationale des
architectes spécialisés dans la terre crue
-
à porter le dossier du sauvetage de
Nouveau Gourna devant l’Unesco, à convaincre du bienfondé d’entreprendre une restauration-revitalisation du village modèle
-
à mener à bien avec très peu de moyens
financiers la rénovation du portique du khan. Voir les articles :
Les évènements récents en Egypte ont malheureusement stoppé une dynamique en marche. Les relations établies entre l’Unesco et les
partenaires institutionnels égyptiens ont été rompues, mais nous savons que l’heure viendra de rétablir le dialogue. Dans l’intervalle l’Association a besoin de soutien financier pour pouvoir
continuer de mener à bien des opérations ponctuelles de restauration-consolidation-rénovation, afin d’éviter que ce patrimoine mondial riche d’enseignement ne disparaisse à jamais.
Merci de soutenir par vos dons pour la CONSOLIDATION DE LA MAISON DE HASSAN FATHY à Nouveau
Gourna !

Since Save the Heritage of Hassan Fathy's emergency mission to New Gourna in March 2011 carried out in accordance with UNESCO, emergency
stabilization measures have been implemented on the Khan arcades to prevent its ruin and collapse. These measures have been carried out thanks to the efforts of a local team of experts and
workers.
During a very critical time and situation of political instability, and with very little means, the team has put all its efforts into consolidating
the khan arcades threatened by decay and organizing community meetings with the local inhabitants to inform them about the ongoing project.
Save the heritage of Hassan Fathy would like to warmly thank the team for its invovlvement in this project. This is just a first step towards the
safeguarding of New Gourna and very important measures are yet to be taken on an international and national level in order to preserve what is left of this oustanding architectural
heritage.

SAVE THE HERITAGE OF HASSAN FATHY is EXTREMELY ALARMED to hear that another house built by Hassan Fathy has just been demolished by its inhabitants during the past
few days.
Of course the major events and changes that Egypt has witnessed during the past two weeks have had important consequences on the
safeguarding and conservation of its heritage due to lack of security, looting etc. Concerning New Gourna, UNESCO has cancelled all its missions for the time being.
Nevertheless the moratory condemning all demolition or damages to any original construction by Hassan Fathy should be respected and
SAVE THE HERITAGE OF HASSAN FATHY urges the Egyptian authorities to take all the necessary measures to prevent any further destruction of what is left of NEW GOURNA village.

Save the Heritage of Hassan Fathy association is
extremely alerted by the collapse of one of the vaults of New Gourna's Khan. Hassan Fathy had planned the khan with workshops for craftsmen and a vaulted gallery for them to
expose and sell their crafts.
The Khan is one of the main buildings of New Gourna village, which has suffered severe deterioration during the past years mainly due to neglect. After its first
assessment mission in January 2009, Save the Heritage of Hassan Fathy had already called for urgent measures for conserving and restoring the Khan, one of the most severely
damaged public buildings of the site. This degradation represents a terrible threat as it could lead to the collapse of the entire gallery.
Despite the recent UNESCO scientific mission in October 2010, the
degradation of New Gourna village is ongoing and the damage on this arcade is a visible sign of the threats that menace the whole site.
Save the heritage of Hassan Fathy calls for urgent measures to
save and restore the Khan, one of the most outstanding buildings of Hassan Fathy's New Gourna village.
