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 worlds final cities shaped by transformative fortune. In the footsteps of Kuwait, Riyadh, and Dubai, Sharjah faced a metamorphosis: either one that repeated the pasts mistakes or one that reimagined how wealth can build a city. Sharjahs 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.
