About CUBE Consultants
Founder statement: I believe that the buildings we shape, thereafter they shape us. Thus we can utilize our urban and architectural local heritage to shape our values and future development. Since 1986, at Ain Shams University, Faculty of Engineering Department of Architecture (FEDA), I have been educating my students my philosophy of how to have a distinctive thoughts via the language of the future. From then on, I'm proud that most of my colleagues at Cube were my students at a time. I actually do love and believe in them all. After 20 years of strenuous efforts to convert dreams into reality, I have been fortunate, as an Egyptian architect, to be able - in collaboration with a creative team, to navigate through seven thousand years of great civilization and enable this heritage to raise the nation’s society level and consequently maintain its superior position worldwide, in an effort to restore Egyptian leadership. I believe that the more we indulge in localization and nationalism the more likely we can achieve international recognition. The formation of our houses and our urban architectural environment reflects on our community and the future generation. Thus architecture is basically a reflection of the society and its development mechanism. Also, I believe that the quality of architecture could impact quality of life. As we shape our shelters, hence we shape our future. All aspects that have an impact on our quality of life such as the surrounding environment, health, safety, freedom, all the related positive and negative issues, etc… should lead us to accomplish sustainability, progress and public development. The future is different and we should recognize how to deal with it, how to communicate and how to write in the future language of architecture Ashraf Abdel Mohsen
