Ahmed Saafan Bio
“I studied architecture in MIU. After that I worked as a teacher assistant. In 2015, I went to India where I did some explorations and worked as an art teacher in a school. I stayed there for one year. Then I came back to Egypt and lived for few months in Dahab. I stayed at a farm over there helping out and getting engaged in construction and art process on site.

After that, I went to work for “A for Architecture” design studio. My work scope involved landscape, architecture and urban projects. My mentor was Omar Kishk, a great inspirational designer who taught me a lot. Mainly he handed me community design projects. Some of my work involved projects in collaboration with Megawra. I also worked on renovation projects for several factories.”
