Bazar Abbas - Recovery Lab of Port Said

Bazar Abbas - Recovery Lab of Port Said The official page for the project "Bazar Abbas - Recovery Lab of Port Said "

BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg with its local partners in Egypt has initiated a two-year project to contribute to the recovery process of Port Said. This project is funded by the British Council, the Cultural Protection Fund (CPF). The project will protect the 19th-century Khedive Abbas Helmy II Bazaar in Port Said, Egypt. The Bazaar is a unique hybrid of local architectural style and European modernism

that has suffered extensive damage as a result of past conflicts on the Suez Canal. Its partial reconstruction will preserve original features, including the timber verandas, and the combined research, education, and training initiatives will capture the collective memory of the Bazaar’s sociocultural importance and provide a model for future urban heritage interventions in the historic core of Port Said.
