Résumé:
Beginning in the 1920s, and especially after the Nazis introduced the Nuremberg Race Laws in the 1930s, more than 130 Jewish architects chose to leave their native Germany and begin afresh in Palestine. Many of them, including Alex Baerwald and Harry Rosenthal, left behind significant buildings that were already central to the urban image of Berlin. Nevertheless, upon arriving in their new desert home, completely unaccustomed to the climate, the culture or the language, these Bauhaus-era repatriates set about laying the foundations of a new society with amazing vigor. This volume, assembled by the Israeli architect Myra Warhaftig, provides comprehensive documentation of works by this first generation of Jewish-Palestinean architects, including kibbutzim, villages and cities with housing developments, hospitals, schools, universities, theaters, administrative buildings, etc. It also includes documentation of the lives and works of many of the most entrepreneurial individuals to escape in the diaspora, who, along with their descendents, laid the foundations of modern-day Israel.

Résumé:
'Building Sharjah' reveals how modern architecture unfurled across the United Arab Emirates’ third-largest city. An oil discovery in 1972 positioned Sharjah as one of the world’s final cities shaped by transformative fortune. In the footsteps of Kuwait, Riyadh, and Dubai, Sharjah faced a metamorphosis: either one that repeated the past’s mistakes or one that reimagined how wealth can build a city. Sharjah’s potential enticed an international cast of experts to create a bold, new city. As their projects begin to vanish, this book preserves them through unseen photographs and recovered documents. New writing chronicles how local and arriving residents arranged the designed, concrete environment into a home. Beyond just a local artifact, this book examines the confident promises made by global practices of urbanization.

Résumé:
Dans cet ouvrage, Guillaume Éthier explore l'architecture, la forme et le rôle de la place publique qui, dans le contexte de la reconstruction nationale entreprise depuis la fin de la guerre civile libanaise, en 1990, s'est trouvée à l'avant-plan de la scène mémorielle. Il y jette un nouveau regard sur le Concours d'idées en planification urbaine pour la reconstruction de la place des Mrtyrs, concours international tenu à Beyrouth en 2004-2005. Par sa situation exceptionnelle au centre-ville de Beyrouth et par son rôle historique de haut lieu de la sociabilité, la place des Martyrs constitue le coeur de la nation libanaise. Sur le plan symbolique, elle incarne l'espoir d'une réconciliation d'envergure entre toutes les factions de la société. Cependant, entre les mains d'une société foncière, le processus de reconstruction du centre-ville de Beyrouth a pris un virage inattendu au milieu des années 1990. La logique spéculative des promoteurs risque en effet de faire l'impasse sur les enjeux identitaires et culturels. Devant ce spectre - et puisque la place des Martyrs n'a toujours pas été reconstruite - l'auteur balise des pistes qui rejoignent les objectifs collectifs assignés à la reconstruction de la place des Martyrs. Il s'agit de créer, simultanément, un lieu de mémoire et un lieu de rencontre.

Since the Lebanese Civil War, which broke out in 1975 and claimed over 120,000 lives before its cessation in 1990, many of Beirut’s modernist gems have lain abandoned or ruined.

Since the Lebanese Civil War, which broke out in 1975 and claimed over 120,000 lives before its cessation in 1990, many of Beirut’s modernist gems have lain abandoned or ruined. ''Beirut bereft'' profiles 57 of these structures as indicative of the wider fragmentation of Lebanon. Lebanese writer Rasha Salti and photographer Ziad Antar generated a visual, textual and cartographic vocabulary to profile the skeletons of office towers, hotels and apartment blocks that overlook the serene Mediterranean. One such building, the Murr Tower, has become something of an emblem of the destruction and lost hopes of Beirut. Begun in 1974 and incomplete at the beginning of the war, this Corbusier-inspired structure now looms over a city trying to find its way again.

Dubai, in its newness, has redefined the notion of authenticity: city and spectacle have been intertwined. Mall culture, airports, and theme parks may seem strange and vacuous in other cities, but in Dubai, they are the essence of life. Shortly before the outbreak of the global pandemic, Dirk Gebhardt and Lars Harmsen visited Dubai. Nowhere in the world had they seen drama and comedy so powerfully together as in Dubai’s theme parks. In the drive to bring more tourists to the UAE, develop the real estate industry, and retain a huge labor force of expatriate workers, Dubai itself resembles and operates in many ways like a theme park. In his essay Simulation City: The Theming of Dubai Jason Carlow explores the uncanny atmosphere of spectacle, spatial control, and remarkable societal and cultural overlaps and adjacencies that have become an integral part of life for many residents of and visitors to contemporary Dubai.
