Description
Architecture in the Arab World 1945-1973 explores the influence of modernist architecture in the region during this period. This investigation delves into the cultural, historical, sociopolitical, climatic and demographic aspects that shaped the development of modern buildings.
Nine case studies examine the biographies of selected buildings and building complexes from Iraq, Lebanon, Kuwait, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt and Morocco, providing insight into the region's reciprocal relationship with modernist architecture. The book draws on texts, contemporary images, architectural drawings and archival material to document the design process.
Through its examination of this pivotal period in Arab architectural history, Architecture in the Arab World 1945-1973 offers a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that influenced the creation of modern buildings in the region.
