Al Manakh

Unveiled at the International Design Forum, held this year in Dubai, “Al Manakh” provides a long overdue, and much needed survey of the current state of architecture and design in the Middle East. Comprising three sections, the first features a guide to Dubai, edited by Moutamarat; the second, a survey of planning and development in the Gulf States, by AMO; and lastly; a Global Agenda for design, as envisioned by Archis. Illustrated throughout, and accompanied by essays and commentaries, “Al Manakh” provides valuable insights into a dynamic and volatile region.
