Скачать или смотреть IMPACT LIST 2025 ft. Mostafa Salem

Mostafa Salem has played a key role in shifting how architecture and heritage are understood in Cairo, moving them from specialist circles into public awareness. His work encourages people to notice buildings and neighbourhoods long treated as background, and to see them as part of the city’s living history.

Through accessible storytelling on social media, Salem has reframed heritage as something present rather than distant or abstract. Widely shared posts and videos have turned individual buildings into points of discussion, prompting broader conversations about preservation, memory, and responsibility toward the urban fabric.

His restoration of the Tiring Building in Downtown Cairo exemplifies this approach. The project addressed both the physical condition of the structure and its place within collective memory, reconnecting the building to the life of the area around it. Salem’s work has been formally recognised with the State Encouragement Award, and through his appointment to the National Committee for the Development and Protection of Historic Cairo, where he contributes to shaping how the city’s heritage is approached and safeguarded.

At its core, Salem’s impact lies in restoring public curiosity, making architecture visible, relevant, and worth paying attention to again.

مؤثرين 2025: مصطفى سالم – معماري ومساهم في تطوير وسط البلد

وسط البلد هي روح المدينة وقلبها، عمرك كنت ماشي في الشارع وفكرت إن ياريت ترجع العمارات دي زي زمان؟

ده بالظبط اللي بيعمله مصطفى سالم، اللي بدأ مشروعه من خلال تخيل شكل المباني بعد ترميمها، لكن ماوقفش عند التخيل والتمني وراح بنفسه للجهاز القومي للتنسيق الحضاري وطلب منهم إنه يشارك في تطوير منطقة العتبة وبدأنا نشوف نتيجة الشغل ده من خلال مبنى "تيرنج" اللي رجع لشكله القديم.

"سالم" كمان حريص إن الأماكن تكون مربوطة بناسها وذاكرتهم ويفضلوا موجودين يستفادوا من الأماكن ويفيدوها. والدولة بتدعمه وده ظهر في حصوله على جائزة الدولة التشجيعية وتعيينه عضو في اللجنة القومية لتطوير وحماية القاهرة التاريخية عشان نشوف القاهرة وهي بتطور بعيون وإيدين ولادها.
