Product Description
Product Description
This accordion-fold booklet contains a series of analytical views of the Arabian coast of the Persian Gulf by AMO-OMA and colleagues from the American University of Sharjah, UAE. In a "futurized present, a these views seek to depict the current and unprecedented state of the region, which invites one to contemplate the design of a new version of urbanism. Like a pristine and untouched canvas, the sand and sea of the Persian Gulf coast constitute a tabula rasa, waiting to receive the imprint of new identities. The West is guilty of a double negligence vis-A -vis this land of possibilities a" something that actually has its origins in the West is not being taken seriously, and as a result we are unable to seize upon a burgeoning global phenomenon. This accordion-fold booklet is published to coincide with the 10th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.

There is not really much to this "book". Its about 200mm tall and 75mm wide and it folds out a bit like a map. It has some fairly superficial info about various gulf states and a few nice pictures but really I don't know what anyone would learn from it. Its more like a brochure to accompany an exhibition or something and on its own its pretty pointless.
Nicely made though so i guess that counts for something?
