About Architecture in Egypt

Architecture begining from "The Ancient Egyptian" to "The Modern Architecture in Egypt"

Ancient Egyptian Architecture:
---------------------------------------------------
Depends on religious beliefs of eternal life, resulted in an impressive sepulchral architecture, tomb building started as soon as a Pharaoh was named, and continued throughout his life until his death. Massive, static, and serene architecture emerged from the need to obtain stability in stone walls
------------------------
Coptic Architecture:
-------------------------------------
is the architecture of the Copts, who form the majority of Christians in Egypt
Coptic churches range from great cathedrals like Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral to the smallest churches in rural villages. Many ancient monasteries like Monastery of Saint Anthony, the oldest in the world, survive. Ancient churches like the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo carry important historical value to the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Copts in general.
-------------------------
Muslim Region Architecture:
-------------------------------------------------
It is regional as they used their "materials" and "meanings" and the old muslim architecture in egypt has its own "personality"
Islamic Architecture
Ottoman Architecture: Stylistic as the designs were produced from Istanbul and these designes were sent Egypt using some of the turkish styles, so thats why it was called "Islamic Architecture"
-------------------------
Colonial Architecture/Modern Architecture
