This volume is the result of an investigation by international experts into the influences of modernist architecture in the Arab world. Ten case studies provide the foundation for a thorough exploration of cultural-historical aspects; biographies of selected buildings and building complexes from Iraq, Lebanon, Kuwait, Syria, Palestine and Morocco are presented. Texts, contemporary images, architectural drawings and archival material are used to document the design process.
