History
Kodak
Tucked away on 20 Adly Street, the Kodak Building is a landmark of Neo-Classical architecture, designed in 1928 by French archaeologist, architect, and historian André Godard. The seven-story building is distinguished by its two main entrances, marked A and B. In 1912, George Eastman, the inventor of Kodak, chose it as the site for Kodak HQ in Egypt and the Middle East.
The Process
Restoration Process
Al Ismaelia for Real Estate Investment acquired the Kodak building in 2008. Kodak passageway is a linear space that connects Adly Street to Abdel Khalek Tharwat. In 2015, the passageway was renovated based on a design workshop organized by CLUSTER, in collaboration with the Danish Egyptian Dialogue Institute (DEDI), and the Centre for Culture and Development (CKU), providing more accessible and inclusive public spaces in Downtown Cairo.
