Dr. Nasser Al-Rabat said about this book: “The Book of Buildings is a collection of stories about heroes who engage in construction and building projects, as well as pivotal moments in the history of Egyptian civilization or the history of the individual soul. The book also includes short passages in which Al-Ghitani explains architectural terms in a symbolic and poetic manner. He describes things and their reflections, and seeks to understand their meanings and opposites.” Dr. Mahmoud Ali Al-Kordi said, “Most of the stories told by Al-Ghitani revolve around these themes. In my opinion, the concepts of death, the mystery of the afterlife, and the question of destruction and nothingness are themes that Al-Ghitani addressed with great intensity and depth. This is a characteristic that is not seen in contemporary Egyptian literature, as it seems to be influenced by Al-Ghitani’s own experiences, where he oscillated between death and life, between existence and non-existence.”Marie Trez Abdel-Mehdi: Writing confronts the void in the text of the “Book of Buildings”. In the same way, architecture confronts the void. Just as the male confronts the female, the ultimate void or nothingness is also a form of confrontation. This confrontation between the two polarities leads to integration, resulting in the creation of new structures or entities. Just as humans seek shelter in architectural structures to avoid the void, the fetus seeks shelter in the womb. The womb serves as a foundation, and the female and space together connect the earth to the sky. In the same way, living writing is connected to cognitive memory.
