Al Manakh is …

blog

A fresh stock of your essential Gulf literature is in. The last and final print-run, so last chance.

This is what the press wrote about it:

‘Al Manakh is compulsive reading because it engages with, and does its best to explain, the astonishing explosion of development in the Persian Gulf’- RIBA Joural

‘With shaky photos that seem to have been taken on cell phones, and short, punchy texts that take on difficult issues and never lapse into jargon or condescension, this odd book represents a serious attempt to analyse the development explosion in the Gulf states.’ - Financial Times

Mapping Architectural Controversies (MAC) is an interactive website dedicated to students and researchers working on controversies surrounding design projects, buildings, master plans, and urban and development issues. Documenting and visualising recent controversies in architecture, it also aims to address a broader audience interested in the design of cities, spatial networks and built environments as well as planners, representatives of city government, NGOs and citizens. As it is a part of the EU-funded project MACOSPOL, Mapping Architectural Controversies draws on a variety of documental sources and visual methods to explore the multifarious connections of architecture and society.
