| Abstract | ||
| Egypt faces an immense problem of high population density that negatively affects the natural resources. This overpopulation problem results in a huge amount of waste materials produced that should be invested via the various recycling process to preserve the environment. Efforts by the Egyptian government as well as by many individuals are enacted in waste recycling to preserve the environment. Therefore, this paper highlights the potentials of recycling waste materials to the socio-economic integrity. The paper also illustrates that the recycled materials offers great possibilities to the architecture creativity. This is reflected in the design of the Biennale of Architecture (2022), as a case study by Alaa Hassan, Mohamed Elsayed and Hassan Mokhtar, a competition by the Ministry of Culture, represented by the National Organization for Urban Harmony. The design illustrated here in this paper communicates the efforts of individual organizations and how small efforts can make a big difference. ** | ||
