Temple of Health Radio Show, February 10, 2018
Temple of Health Radio Show with Dr Susan Kolb and guest Dr Ibrahim Karim
Topic: Biogeometry
Guest, Ibrahim Karim
An abstract figure with the inscription "Only those who see the invisible can do the impossible" sits on Dr. Ibrahim Karim’s desk.
This is the philosophy that has led Dr. Karim on a lifelong mission to uncover the correlation between shapes and energy in the biosphere, for which he developed the science of “BioGeometry,” and its impact on global societies.
Dr. Karim is an architect and regional planner graduate of the prestigious Federal Institute of (ETH) Zurich, Switzerland with BA/MA and PhD/D.Sc. in Tourist Planning. He is the Founder of the qualitative science of BioGeometry; the new Architecture and industrial design school that uses the subtle energy effect of geometrical shapes to induce harmony to our modern technological or natural environments. He currently teaches at several universities and supervises numerous postgraduate studies on the applications of the science of BioGeometry.
Dr. Karim was recognized and honored by several institutes for his environmental work and was chosen as man of the year by the Swiss magazine “Anzeiger” in 2005 for his success in reducing the effect of ‘electro smog’ in several regions in Switzerland. He was chosen as one of the 100 most innovative designers of the 20th Century on Swedish TV.
Besides his Architecture, health and tourism planning, his other professional activities include his own architecture consulting and industrial design firm. Dr. Karim held several advisory positions in Egypt to the Ministers of: Health, Culture, Tourism and Scientific research.
