  • 1 Editorial Bahrain Is Considered to Be One of the Most Open Countries in the Region from an Economic and Financial Point Of
    Market Overview Bahrain Editorial Bahrain is considered to be one of the most open countries in the region from an economic and financial point of view. The Independence of Economic Freedom Report for the year 2007 ranked Bahrain the 39th on a world scale of liberal economies and 2nd out of 17 countries in the Middle East/North Africa region. By pursuing a strategy aimed at liberalizing the economy, diversifying sources of national income and attracting investments, the country has been able to make noticeable progress in the past years and further developed its best performing sectors. In addition, Bahrain has strengthened its prominence as the region’s hub for financial institutions and Islamic banking. Bahrain’s real estate market witnessed major growth in the past few years triggered by the economic boost from oil revenues, expansion investment policies coupled with the opening of the real estate market to GCC & foreign investors. Given world political events in Europe and the US, many GCC investors choose to re-invest their capital in the region. Bahrain is considered one of the most attractive countries to invest due to low inflation rates and transparent legal system with minimal barriers to foreign investments. According to data available from the Survey & Land Registration Bureau of Bahrain, the real estate market in the 1st quarter of 2008 has experienced consistent growth in terms of activity and number of transactions traded in the past few years.This increase is indicative of the ongoing demand for real estate properties given the increase in foreign investment, excess Engel & Völkers Middle East , Dubai 2008 1 liquidity in the market and the government’s liberal policy towards non-Bahrainis to ownership laws.

  • Imagining Spatial Geographies: Architecture of Poetic Terrains in the Artificial Islands of Bahrain
    ISVS e-journal, Vol. 7, no.2, April, 2020 Imagining Spatial Geographies: Architecture of poetic terrains in the artificial islands of Bahrain Ranjith Dayaratne University of Bahrain, Bahrain [email protected] Abstract Spatial geographies are both real and imagined. Architecture as a transformation of a site emerges from the real and simultaneously suppresses its reality. It impositions imaginations upon the real and fuses with its geographical existence to construct images to incite re- imaginations and augmented imaginations. The geography of the site is thus the archetypal contour of such imaginations. But how does architecture imagine spatial geographies in a site that is fluid in which to anchor spaces and places for habitation. In Bahrain and generally in the Arabian Gulf, architects have recently been challenged to imagine poetic terrains in water in the creation of artificial islands for human habitation and dwelling. While some islands are often geometrically and metaphorically shaped and remain dislodged from the contours of the seas to imaginations of their own, some remain curiously connected to the sites yet unimaginable as an emergence of the site. This paper examines the sources of geographical forms of the artificial islands of Bahrain and how they connect or disconnect to the geographies of the sea or the adjoining lands. By taking three case studies, it divulges the conceptualisations and imaginations of the spatial geographies of these islands and maps out their architecture. Although sometimes in the absence of differentiated spatial geographies on the surface, the seas struggle to produce forms and shapes on their own, distinct and decisive forces remain underneath that determine the configurations of the Islands.
