ARAB MODERN

The Arab world's modern built environment was shaped largely during a period when several Arab
countries were on the cusp of gaining independence from colonial rule. Contributions in this
volume present Arab modern architecture based on previously overlooked figures  narratives  and
experiences. Projects from North Africa  the Levant  and the Arabian Gulf show critical moments
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.
