Pan-Arab Modernism 1968-2018The History of Architectural Practice in The Midd…
Using Kuwait as a case study and Pan Arab Modernism as a lens, this book comes to fill two voids in the literature on Middle Eastern architecture: one is in practice and the other is in history. The current practice of architecture in Kuwait, the Gulf and the larger Middle East, is typically a-contextual and lacking any understanding of the local context. The architectural history, on the other…

Pianificare tra città e campagna
Il territorio agro-forestale prossimo agli insediamenti urbani appare sempre più un elemento chiave e una risorsa strategica per affrontare i nodi problematici della qualità dell'abitare e, di conseguenza, della riqualificazione della forma urbana stessa.

Tre temi, tr…
