En savoir plus sur le livre

In architectural discourse surrounding the Arabian Gulf, the desert is often overlooked as a contrasting backdrop to the region’s oil-fueled cities. Space Wars challenges the view of the desert as a wasteland by bringing together the perspectives of architects, artists, ecologists, cartographers, and more to shed light on a complex landscape that is host to critical operations for the development of sovereign states. Moving across scales and time, Kuwait’s hinterland serves as the critical lens to look at the region’s past traumas, current struggles, and possible futures.
