Abstract
On Wednesday morning, 23 July 1952, a military coup occurred in Egypt, carried out by “The Free Officers”
movement. This movement targeted command, control, and communications posts of the Army and Internal
Ministry. Several police sections that had been successfully penetrated, aided in rounding up key personnel of the
royal government. That revolution was a turning-point in Egyptian history, changing the social structure of Egypt. ;
The republic of Egypt has changed social standards, and therefore there are changes in characteristic Egyptian
architectural taste and style.
