The Middle Eastern bazaar is much more than a context for commerce: the studies in this book illustrate that markets, regardless of their location, scale, and permanency, have also played important cultural roles within their societies, reflecting historical evolution, industrial development, social and political conditions, urban morphology, and architectural functions.(...)

Résumé:
The Middle Eastern bazaar is much more than a context for commerce: the studies in this book illustrate that markets, regardless of their location, scale, and permanency, have also played important cultural roles within their societies, reflecting historical evolution, industrial development, social and political conditions, urban morphology, and architectural functions. This interdisciplinary volume explores the dynamics of the bazaar with a number of case studies from Cairo, Damascus, Aleppo, Nablus, Bursa, Istanbul, Sanaa, Kabul, Tehran, and Yazd. Although they share some contextual and functional characteristics, each bazaar has its own unique and fascinating history, traditions, cultural practices, and structure. One of the most intriguing aspects revealed in this volume is the thread of continuity from past to present exhibited by the bazaar as a forum where a society meets and intermingles in the practice of goods exchange—a social and cultural ritual that is as old as human history.

This book examines the evolving contextual changes in the Treaty Ports over the past 150 years. It illustrates through writing and line sketches, the imprints on the modernizing cities of older places and spaces from these early times, which have left a residue of physical traces in terms of plan forms, streets and building groups.

Son secteur le plus spectaculaire est celui des "revues d'avant-garde" des années 1920 et 1930. Vitrines de l'identité propre aux différents groupes qui les publient et de la communauté qui les lie, elles sont le support d'une expérimentation visuelle foisonnante (typographie, construction de l'image). C'est elle qui justifie d'abord la sélection présentée ici, composée de couvertures emblématiques de quelque soixante titres célèbres ou - le plus souvent - méconnus. Mais ces images témoignent également d'un processus caractéristique, où les programmes utopistes et totalisants de l'avant-garde historique s'abîment dans la Crise pour se subordonner aux réalités d'une "architecture moderne" en voie d'institutionnalisation.
