ArchitectureWeek Description Innovative and sustainable for centuries, the architecture of Islamic regions declined with colonial and superpower politics. With the influx of oil wealth came imported, inappropriate building systems and self-conscious parodies of "Islamic style." Now a new approach is responding to the cultural and social needs of traditional Islamic societies as "unity in diversity" becomes essential to survival. Amazon Customer Average Rating:
