The Center for the Study of Architecture in the Arab Region (CSAAR)
will organize the third international conference in collaboration
with the School of Architecture and Design, American University
of the Sharjah, focusing on the causes and effects of emergent trends
in architecture and urbanism in the Gulf.
Organizers invite colleagues from across disciplines to develop
analyses that identify, explicate and theorize emergent trends in
architecture and urbanism in the Arab region in general and the
Gulf states in particular.
Questions to be considered include:
- How has economic progress affected contemporary architecture
and urbanism in the Arab region?
- What theoretical constructs can be employed to explain transformations
in the built environment?
- What can be learned from architecture and urbanism in fast-developing
cities like Dubai?
- How have inhabitants adapted to the effects of urban development?
