MODERN HERITAGE IN THE MENA REGION KARTONIERT (TB)

In the past decades  the definition of built heritage has become broader and includes the
architecture and urbanism products of the modern era  yet the recognition of this rich legacy
is still lacking in West Asia and North Africa  the so-called MENA region. The susceptibility
caused by the socio-economic and political conditions in this region has put the heritage of
the modern movement for years under serious threat and addressing this issue was the main
motivation behind this book. The book is emerged from a selection of papers presented during
the International Conference «Modern Heritage in the MENA region»  organized in Weimar in 2017.
What this selection does hope to accomplish is to bring into attention the legacy of the modern
era in the MENA region and  by providing new perspectives on this matter  bridge between
practice and theory. This book particularly focuses on the 19th and 20th century legacy of
architecture and urban planning. The selected articles intend to provide critical reflections
on modern heritage practices in the region and aim to highlight challenges facing identifying 
preserving  and documenting modern heritage as well as the role of new technologies in this
process in three main fields of architecture  urbanism  and civil engineering.
