Hi.. I am Hicham, an Egyptian architect living in Alexandria. In addition to architecture, I am a graphic designer and Arabic calligrapher.

Wrought iron was commonly used for making nails, horseshoes, nuts and bolts, rivets, rails and railway couplings, pipes to carry steam and water, as well as for ornamental ironwork.

Today, wrought iron is mainly used for ornamental purposes in the so-called ferforge. Many ferforge fences, gates, balcony and stair railings are really artistic masterpieces.
