Abdelhalim Ibrahim Abdelhalim

An Architecture of Collective Memory

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first comprehensive study of the work and career of Abdelhalim Ibrahim Abdelhalim, one of Egypt's foremost contemporary architects, this book is inspired by Abdelhalim's deep belief in the power of rituals as a guiding force behind various human behaviors and the spaces in which they are enacted and designed to play out. Each chapter is consequently dedicated to one of these rituals and the ways in which some of Abdelhalim's primary commissions have revealed and expressed that ritual. In the sequence presented these are: the rituals of possession, reverence, order, the transmission of knowledge, procession, human institutions, geometry, light, the sense of place, materiality, and color.
