Abstract
This essay focuses on the creative relation between two forms of art, architecture and the
novel.
First, this essay explores the fundamentals of analogy. Characteristics common to both
forms of art : notions of image and composition.. will be studied in order to feed the
reflection on this subject
The second part applies the foundations drawn from this analogy to the novel
written by Ahmed Khaled Tawfiq ( 2008)
is the future. we are in Egypt in 2023, and, after a division of classes, the very
rich live in a part of the city, protected by high walls and ancient American marines.
High security for the very rich while the rest of the populace, the poor, live in slums, these
are the Others.
What is interesting in this novel is the alternation and symmetry between two visions of
the world, tow places and tow architectures .
but The two worlds are separated by a wall. Which indicates that the wall symbolizes the
tragic future.

Ahmed Towfik describes a society (both inside and outside) in a dark vision of today,
black of the future
In the end, the analysis of this analogy: architecture of the novel and architecture in the
novel demonstrate that reflects a modern aesthetic vision and a pessimistic
ideological position that resists the cultural and moral fall.

Key words: novel. Architecture. Utopia. symmetry. Conflict between classes. Destopia
