  • 4.617: Balancing Globalism and Regionalism: the Heart of Doha Project
    SPRING 2009 DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE 4.617: Balancing Globalism and Regionalism: The Heart of Doha Project Instructor: Nasser Rabbat Prerequisite: Permission of Instructor Wednesday from 2 to 5 in Room 5-216 Prerequisite: Permission of instructor Submit two paragraph statement of intent to Nasser Rabbat, via email <[email protected]>, by Jan. 20th. Enrollment limited to 10 In the last two decades, the Arabian Gulf experienced an extraordinary urban boom fueled by a global economy looking for new, profitable outlets and an accumulated oil wealth seeking easy and safe invest- ments at home. The combined capital found its ideal prospect in developing gargantuan business parks and malls, luxury housing and hotels, and touristic, cultural, and entertainment complexes. Architecture at once assumed the role of branding instrument and spectacular wrapping for these new lavish enterprises, which swiftly sprang up in cities like Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Manama, Riyadh, and Kuwait. Yet, not all recent architecture in the Gulf readily fits what Joseph Rykwert matter-of-factly calls the “Emirate Style,” a style whose extravagant flights of fancy seem to depend only on the unbridled imagination of the designers and the willingness of their patrons to bankroll those fantasies. Various large-scale projects are trying to reverse the trend by judiciously using the vast financial resources available to produce quality design that tackles some of the most urgent social, cultural, and environmental issues facing those countries today. These urban and architectural experiments, like Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, the Heart of Doha in Qatar, and KAUST Campus in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, hailed as design tours de force, have yet to be studied from a his- torical and sociocultural perspective.

While most GCC markets are similar in terms of their oil-based economies, and the insignificant quantity of natural resources that would support and stimulate a large amount of international leisure visitation, some destinations are just different. In spring 2005, we visited Oman to advise on the multibillion dollar Blue City development near Muscat. What we saw on our trip confirmed our views. The Middle East is once again proving to be resilient to the international and regional shocks affecting tourism worldwide. Destinations like Bahrain, Doha, Dubai and Egypt have recently achieved record levels of visitation and Oman seems to be following a similar trend. In this article, we shed some light on Oman, a newly emerging market with significant opportunities at all levels. The reader should note that we have paid most attention to Muscat, the Omani capital, in our assessment and analysis.

Historical background The present-day seat of the Tunisian Academy is symbolic on more than one account. During the Husseinite era, it was called “Zarrouk Palace” because it was founded by the General Ahmed Zarrouk whose name was closely associated with the ruthless crushing of the Ali Ben Ghedhahem revolt in 1864, in the Sahel and Aradh regions. From 1943 to 1957, this Palace was the official residence of Mohammed Lamine, the last Bey of Tunisia. It was in that prestigious architectural building that a reception was given for Jules Ferry, who was to impose the French protectorate on the Regency of Tunis. It was also in that same building that a major event in the history of modern Tunisia took place : the solemn proclamation, by the French President Pierre Mendès France, of Tunisia‟s home rule After independence, the Palace became the property of the state.
