This was made available to attendees at the Bahrain National Pavilion. Although 35,000 copies were printed, Worldcat and Jisc record only 6 locations (British Library, University of Nova Gorica, COBISS, Centre Canadien d'Architecture, Harvard, NYU Abu Dhabi). This presents Bahrain's searching examination into the decline of its traditional sea culture, which won the Golden Lion for the best National Participation at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition. Noting that Bahrain could have selected from a range of "vast urban developments", the International Jury was impressed by the choice "of a lucid and forceful self-analysis of the nation's relationship with its rapidly changing coastline". Intended to promote debate on future planning policies, it was initiated by Culture and Information Minister Sheikha Mai Bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, and curated by Bahrain-based architects Noura Al-Sayeh and Fuad Al-Ansari. The Pavilion centred on 3 fishermen's huts, which had been purchased, documented and dismantled from their original sites and reconstructed in the Arsenale based on their original plans. It included a series of "Sea Interviews" directed by Bahraini movie producer and director Mohammed Rashid Bu Ali. The Bahrain Urban Research Team conducted these in April-May 2010, asking Bahrainis about their relations with the sea, how access to it has changed since the 1930s, and how things could be improved. Bahrain-based photographer Camille Zakharia's "Coastal Promenade" documented Bahrain's coastline highlighting the ecological effects of land reclamation, and ways in which they are being used. This supporting document includes essays by the Minister and Curators, and sea interviews. Historic and current maps are shown. Several of the latter highlight boundary changes, building area ratios, land and offshore springs, and irrigation. Historic and contemporary photos include aerial views, coastal scenes, and fisherman's huts, contrasted with views shown on bank notes. The are several plans of coastal huts at Seef, Muharraq, and Sanabis Port. Charts show the decline of sea culture since 1930 by placing oil price and production data alongside coastal population, Bapco employee numbers, numbers in fishing, national population, banking, land use evolution, land values, reclamation and construction permits, fish imports, boats engaged in diving etc.
