A valuable resource for design professionals and students
alike, this handsome tome documents the most recent and forthcoming
architectural developments in the Arabian Peninsula, an area that has become
world-renowned for cutting-edge structures that are changing the face of
architecture. More than 500 photographs spotlight projects designed by the
world’s foremost architects, designers, and engineers in the region of Saudi
Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Yemen. In addition to
photographs of recently completed structures, the book includes renderings,
sections, and floor plans provided by architectural and design studios of
buildings currently under construction. Supplementing the images, the text
provides detailed technical descriptions of each of the buildings featured in
the book. From the Al Shaqab Equestrian Academy in Qatar, with its
state-of-the-art facilities, to the sustainable architecture of the British
Embassy in Sana’a to the Arcapita Bank Headquarters on Bahrain Bay, accessible
both by land and by water, this volume encompasses a vast array of
projects—recreational, commercial, and residential—in a pivotal area of
interest to architects.
