A number of cities across the Arab world lack what in the world of architecture is called a master plan, or a notion of urban design and planning, the laws and regulations of which are normally applied to all citizens. The life cycles of cities and humans alike are subject to changes in their cultural identity. As such, I believe we need to develop a new understanding of urban planning and a more realistic definition of architecture and the cultural semantics that it denotes. These are some of the ideas that I seek to explore in my installation for this exhibition.
