Building in the Islamic World Today
At no time in recent history have architecture, urban planning, rehabilitation and reconstruction been as important to the Islamic world as they are today. With great opportunities to engender positive change and build better places for everyone, architects are responding to local
challenges with understanding and innovation, with global outlook and vernacular and innovative forms.These multifaceted achievements include restoration, landscape design, infrastructure and urban planning, and new buildings.Architecture and Polyphony:
