Affordable Housing is one of the key social issues in major cities of our time. The ever-increasing gap between rich and poor is growing faster than ever before. Affordable Housing? I’d prefer one along the Nile. The Nile has always surged through Egypt and its people; running from south to north, connecting the far ends; dividing Egypt into east and west, and shaping the Egyptian beliefs. Bringing fertility to land yet brings it destruction if not tamed. Egyptians’ relationship with the Nile has always oscillated between these poles. The river plays a big part in the country’s life. The Nile River provides a welcome tranquility in the fog of fumes. Making it impossible to have an affordable housing along its banks. Large parts of the population are locked out of the housing market and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Even someone with a good income will never catch up with the soaring housing prices in Egypt. Meanwhile some in between space of Egypt’s most expensive waterfront is waiting for repurposing. “Along the Nile” is a small, sustainable and affordable housing project along the shores of the Nile, where a 1x1m unit could be expanded according to the occupants' needs and could fit in the in-betweens of the large shore of the Nile. The 1x1m structure system adapts to the nature of the river's edges. Each module is represented in an elevated weathering steel and their heights change respecting it’s topographic context.
