Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Staggering skylines and boastful architecture make Dubai famous-this book traces them back to a twentieth-century plan for survival. In 1959, experts agreed that if Dubai was to become something more than an unruly port, a plan was needed. Specifically, a town plan was prescribed to fortify the city from obscurity and disorder. With the proverbial handshake, Dubai's ruler hired British architect John Harris to design Dubai's strategy for capturing the world's attention-and then its investments. Showpiece City recounts the story of how Harris and other hired professionals planned Dubai's spectacular transformation through the 1970s. Drawing on exclusive interviews, private archives, dog-eared photographs, and previously overlooked government documents, Todd Reisz reveals the braggadocio and persistence that sold Dubai as a profitable business plan. Architecture made that plan something to behold. Reisz highlights initial architectural achievements-including the city's first hospital, national bank, and skyscraper-designed as showpieces to proclaim Dubai's place on the world stage. Reisz explores the overlooked history of a skyline that did not simply rise from the sands. In the city's earliest modern architecture, he finds the foundations of an urban survival strategy of debt-wielding brinkmanship and constant pitch making. Dubai became a testing ground for the global city-and prefigured how urbanization now happens everywhere.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Building Sharjah reveals how modern architecture unfurled across the United Arab Emirates' third-largest city. An oil discovery in 1972 positioned Sharjah as one of the world's final cities shaped by transformative fortune. In the footsteps of Kuwait, Riyadh, and Dubai, Sharjah faced a metamorphosis: either one that repeated the past's mistakes or one that reimagined how wealth can build a city. Sharjah's potential enticed an international cast of experts to create a bold, new city. As their projects begin to vanish, this book preserves them through unseen photographs and recovered documents. New writing chronicles how local and arriving residents arranged the designed, concrete environment into a home. Beyond just a local artifact, this book examines the confident promises made by global practices of urbanization.; Building Sharjah zeigt die Entwicklung moderner Architektur in der drittgrößten Stadt der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate. Eine Ölentdeckung im Jahr 1972 machte Sharjah zu einer jungen Stadt, die ihren Reichtum in urbane Strukturen investierte. Nach Kuwait, Riad und Dubai entschied sich auch Sharjah dafür, nicht die Fehler der Vergangenheit zu wiederholen, sondern Neues zu realisieren: Eine internationale Expertengruppe vermochte eine selbstbewusste, neue Stadt zu erschaffen. Diese frühen Projekte verschwinden nun langsam. Building Sharjah bewahrt ihre Geschichte in Form von Fotos und Dokumenten. Essays berichten über Sharjahs Einwohner, die die neu gebaute Umgebung zu ihrem Zuhause machten. Dieses Buch untersucht nicht nur eine lokale Transformation, sondern auch die Versprechen globaler Urbanisierungspraktiken. …
