The Riyadh Book (137)

Issue 137 of the book Al Riyadh titled Architecture and Culture: Critical Studies in Arab Architecture Publication date: Author: Dr. Mishari bin Abdullah Al-Nuaim Number of pages: 388 About the book: Architecture is linked with thought and this has been the case since the dawn of history until our contemporary time. Construction is a form of material recording of thought and a reflection of the political, economic, and social state of society. The intellectual struggle between tradition and modernity regarding the essence of architectural production, which must be distinctive, makes this struggle worthwhile. Should our contemporary architecture borrow from Arab Islamic architectural heritage, or should it surrender to the invasion of the global style imposed by the West? This is what this book answers. *Note: The PDF version of the book is in two parts; the first part will be attached with the request, and the second part will be sent via WhatsApp.*
