Description

The Middle East is well-known for its historic gardens that have developed over more than two millenniums. The role of urban landscape projects in Middle Eastern cities has grown in prominence; with a gradual shift in emphasis from gardens for the private sphere to an increasingly public function. The 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 in transforming to a newly shaped social culture in which the public has a voice. This book considers what ties these projects to their historical context; and what regional and local elements and concepts have been used in their design.
