Arab Modern

Architecture and the Project of Independence

Omschrijving

Despite growing calls for global architectural histories, the historiography of modern architecture remains depicted by Western figures, narratives, and experiences. This book takes a different approach by uncovering previously overlooked histories and contributions that shaped the Arab world's modern built environment. Contributions consider projects from North Africa, the Levant, and the Arabian Gulf during a critical moment in history when several Arab countries were on the cusp of gaining their independence from colonial rule and were entering a new phase of postcolonial nation-building. The travel of ideas and figures from within and outside the architectural profession - including craftspeople, bureaucrats, and residents - demonstrates the multifaceted international and regional exchanges underpinning architectural creations and imaginaries in the wake of independence.
