The production of traditional crafts in Egyptian architecture, especially Islamic architecture, has been historically significant, reflecting cultural uniqueness.

Abstract
The production of traditional crafts in Egyptian architecture, especially Islamic architecture, has been historically significant, reflecting cultural uniqueness. However, political, economic, and industrial factors have led to a decline in craft production, diminishing their cultural distinctiveness (Abdul Hamid, 2001). Traditional crafts currently face stagnation, lacking modernization in design, functional integration, and technological advancements. Artisans struggle to compete with imported products. This research aims to preserve and revitalize traditional crafts by integrating them with the creative industries. It explores modern Egyptian experiences, traces the craft’s development, and identifies key points for creating creative products. The study evaluates Egyptian models that introduce new products, assessing their suitability and overall development, including impacts on craftsmen, products, and the production process. The application of creative industry principles is also examined. Findings inform proposals and recommendations to preserve traditional crafts in Egypt and explore their local and global development potential.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
