![]() ![]() This chapter provides a state-of-the-art scientific basis in terms of integrated flash flood management. To achieve this goal, the project defines priorities for future research challenges and potential projects for WFFs. The objective of the international symposium on flash floods (ISFF) project has been to develop scientific understanding of WFFs in wadi systems monitor, model, and mitigate issue warnings and plan urban development by discussing and networking the strategies in the MENA region. The single management strategy under climate change impacts is not adequate to reduce flash flood risks an integrated strategy is required. In arid regions, single mitigation measures, including storage dams, recharge dams, artificial lakes and embankments, are implemented, although soft mitigation measures are not dominant, such as early warning systems. Due to rapid flow generation with sudden high flood peaks, spatiotemporal variability of rainfall occurrence, and poorly sited rapid development, most Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have no comprehensive proper protection from WFFs. He is a man with solid principles who never negotiates with what he thinks is the right thing to do and never submits to the anchors trying to drag him down to the ordinary.Sustainable management of wadi flash flood (WFF) risks is desperately needed to secure development in wadi systems. Being extremely rooted to his Ancient Egyptian heritage, he always manages to implement the real Egyptian spirit into his work weather through the design, concept or just through inspiration behind a specific design. Many obstacles were faced and stumbles were reconciled but the eyes were always staring at one specific destination, one specific purpose rebuilding and reimagining the urban development and architecture of Egypt back to its glory. ![]() ![]() Ever since he began studying Architecture he always showed skill and competence when it came to creativity and being an advanced visionary in the field. Upon maturing he followed the footsteps of his father by going into the Engineering field and chose to go through with the architecture major. Staring off with the changing color of the sky and the rise and set of the sun, to the texture of grass and sand with everything in between.įrom a young age he was always the artist in the family having created very intricate paintings and drawings as a young boy with his art featured in magazines and newspapers. The architectural perspective of his work cannot be labeled because its interchanging and evolving all the time but the only constant is art, and by art it means all aspects and factors in life that can be called art. His visionary belief creates a modern yet very anciently rooted designs and exploitations that serve as pathways between the past and the future within the present. The fight against all odds starting with changing the architectural perspective and culture in the Egyptian market has been a never ending battle. But being the resilient and strong minded person that he is, Ashraf Abdel Mohsen is always determined to reach his goals and never surrendering to the mainstream mindsets on a daily basis not just through his architecture & art but all the way through life. Starting the journey in 1990 when Cube was formed, the road to reaching the stars always had and still has its ups and downs. This may sound crazy and unreasonable to many but if you dig deeper into the meaning behind it you’ll realize that it makes perfect sense and it already happens with every new trend and each new product in our everyday life. The man who always follows the concept of bringing back the future. ![]()
