Profile


RAW (Rawasem Architecture Workshop) is an architecture and urban design studio based in Cairo with partners in the UAE.
Established in 2013 RAW has been working in Egypt and the GCC region since then and has gained a tremendous experience dealing with high profile companies and individuals.
We provide architecture and urban design services from preparing design briefs and space programs through concept design all the way to construction documents and Multidisciplinary coordination.

Philosophy


RAW believes that architecture is an attempt towards reaching a level of humanity and sensitivity to the living environment. we are researching for living models and paradigms in order to prevent citites from becoming abondoned dead places in their monotony and lifelessness.
We design for people who use their buildings, an architecture that makes people satisfied, and not just one that can be admired and enjoyed by architects. The architecture should serve society above personal interests and false targets.
RAW has been influenced and exposed to the vernacular architecture, and learning how to solve problems with compact creative solutions.
We believe that a successful project is the equilibrium point of users’ needs, project context and economics. with our team talent, specialities and skills, we have the power to develop creative designs to meet our clients best intent.
The world is currently dominated by technology and  information, so RAW believes that architecture should take advantage of both to create buildings that allow us to be better human beings.

Vision


RAW has always been concerned with the efficiency of every single project and the strong attention to details.
Thus our vision is to translate this philosophy into implementation and actual practice. RAW’s bigger vision though is to grow our knowledge and skills by time to be able to build the most suitable environment for the vast majority of the people in this world.
We believe that we -as architects- are to be held responsible for those who live in inhumane conditions.
