Description



Book Synopsis



Im Architekturdiskurs zum Persischen Golf wird die Wüste als kontrastreiche Kulisse zu den mit Öl betriebenen Städten der Region oft übersehen. Space Wars stellt die Betrachtung der Wüste als Ödland infrage. Die Publikation versammelt die Perspektiven von Vetreter*innen aus Architektur, Kunst, Ökologie, Kartografie und anderen Bereichen, um diese komplexe, für die Entwicklung souveräner Staaten immens bedeutende Landschaft zu beleuchten. Das Hinterland Kuwaits dient dabei als Ausgangspunkt einer kritischen Betrachtung der Vergangenheitstraumata, aktuellen Kämpfe und möglichen Zukünfte dieser Region.
