Professor Ismail met with the participating students and listened attentively to their creative ideas and dreams for the future development of Egypt and the Arab world. The exhibited projects were linked with social development issues such as The Children Rehabilitation Centre project in Ezbet Abu Arn in Old Cairo and the Community Centre project in Maspeero as part of the overall plan of the Maspeero Triangle national project.
Another important project was designing a City Hall on the site of the demolished burned building of the ex-National Party located on Corniche El Nile. The students exhibited a study model showing the important landmarks of the Corniche corridor from Garden City to Boulaq , enclosing Tahreer Square, Downtown and Maspeero. Professor Ismail engaged in discussions with students related to the sensitivity of this site among landmarks of different Era, and the debate of National Identity versus Modernism.
