Ain Shams University, as the third Egyptian university, was founded in July 1950 under the name of "Ibrahim Pasha University". It participated with the two earlier universities, "Cairo University" (Fua'd the 1st ) and "Alexandria University" (Farouk the 1st) in fulfilling the message of universities and meeting the increasing demand of youth for higher education. When it was first established, Ain Shams University comprised a number of distinguished faculties and academic institutes, which were later developed into university.

Awards 

[ DEATH & THE CITY ] evelop proposals for a vertical cemetery that explores the relationship between life and death within the city, Honorable Mention

Juror Summary

Final selections focused on the intricate relationship of the dead to the living. The final 50 projects each examined some aspect of this relationship critically, whether it be the desire to mourn individually within a vast, highly-populated cemetery complex or the ability of a vertical cemetery to reach beyond the physical meaning of “verticality.” The winning selections are noted for translating this commonly understood definition of verticality in ways which provided mechanistic, fictional, sympathetic and evocative answers to the hard questions about death. The winning designers critically approached the notion of ubiquitous urban verticality when applied to the cemetery typology. Each project discerns the finality of death yet reinterprets an urban relationship between the city and its dead.
