MSA Center of Earth Wins First Place in at the 4th Cairo International Innovation Exhibition
MSA Center of Earth at October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) proudly secured first place for its project proposal in the “Green Urbanism and Innovative Architecture” category at the 4th Cairo International Innovation Exhibition “Cairo Innovates”, organized by the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology at the Exhibition Grounds in Nasr City.
The center’s exhibition booth attracted considerable attention and admiration from visitors, notably including the Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the Governor of Giza, professors and students from the Military Technical College, and scholars from the National Research Center. Their interest was driven by the live interactive models on display — particularly a low-cost, eco-friendly housing unit built from stabilized, interlocking compressed earth blocks made from sandy soil.
The project showcased an innovative, sustainable construction approach that aligns with both environmental and economic goals, offering a practical, scalable solution for future housing in Egypt.
