Dr. Annabel Jane Wharton is the William B. Hamilton Professor in the Department of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University. Her most recent book is Selling Jerusalem: Relics, Replicas, Themeparks(University of Chicago Press, 2006).
MEI´s special edition of Viewpoints on “Architecture and Urbanism in the Middle East” is an opportunity to celebrate the beauty, diversity, and vitality of the built environment of the region. It is also an opportunity to consider the challenges facing architects, designers, and developers in their efforts not only to preserve the rich cultural heritage of Middle Eastern cities but to shape these urban spaces in ways that address the physical and socioeconomic pressures occurring within them.
