Contemporary Urban Landscapes of the Middle East

Beschreibung

Contemporary landscape projects, either designed as public plazas or public parks, have played a significant role in transferring the modern Middle Eastern cities to a new era and also to transform to a newly shaped social culture in which public has a voice. Gharipour considers what ties these projects to their historical context, and what regional and local elements and concepts have been used in their design.
