Abstract
Cairo, the capital, is full of cultural heritage that extends from its ancient Pharaonic times until the modern era, and urbanization is one of the basic features of that Egyptian civilization. Egyptian architecture was not frozen in a stereotypical form or style. Rather, it was and still is a language mastered by the Egyptian, in which he expresses himself, his land, and his time in a civilizational continuity that was based around the value of work and creativity. This is embodied in the meaning of immortality or survival for the Egyptian, especially in his expressive architectural manifestations, despite the differences in eras and mutation. Civilizations and cultures. Heritage is the title of the existence of peoples and the living proof of the identity of their connected history that connects them to their past and to the origin of their identity. We have a rich heritage, as it is a product of what Egypt has gone through in terms of different cultures and civilizations throughout the ages, and as a result of that huge heritage, art produces this product. Creativity results from a person’s culture and his influence on the surrounding environment, including social, political, geographical, and historical conditions. It is a life necessity for a person to express his feelings, emotions, and beliefs, and it is embodied in all types, such as: sculpture, architecture, photography, and others. And it varied. Urban forms, patterns and expressions remain, and the constants that constitute the character and the distinctive features of that character remain. A group of Egyptian visual artists in the modern era were inspired by a group of artistic works inspired by the architectural heritage of Khedive Cairo in various styles, including Aqila Abdel Qader Muhammad Riad, Karel Elie Youssef, Amina Salem, Muhammad Abla, and Shante Avedisyan. In this study, we examine the use of approaches to inspiration from heritage to achieve self-identity in the period (Khedival Cairo) in depicting modern and contemporary murals and how to employ them to be sustainable and implement murals that contain elements of the aesthetics of Khedival Cairo.
