520 _a"This book is an effort towards an in-depth understanding of the architectural discourse in Egypt developed over more than eight decades. It offers a distinctive theoretical interpretation of the forces shaping the kaleidoscopic shifts in Egyptian architecture through the analysis of the micro space of architectural representation of twentieth century Egyptian architecture. Predicated on historical contextualization, theoretical integration, and global conceptualization, Edward Said's analytical method of contrapuntal reading and the spatial discourse analysis posited by C. Greig Crysler are lucidly assimilated to generate insights into various voices within the architectural discourse in Egypt. The analysis and critique of two important professional magazines al-'Imarah (1939-59) and Alam al-Benaa (1980-2000) which shaped the collective psyche of both the academic and professional communities in Egypt and the wider region coupled with the exploration of two other short-lived magazines M'imaryah (1982-1989), Medina (1998-2002), and other less influential professional magazines, discloses the structure of attitude and reference or the exclusions and inclusions that defined the boundaries of the space of the discourse. Influence and Resistance in Post-Independence Egyptian Architecture paves the way to genuinely debate a yet to mature twenty first century's architectural discourse in Egypt. This book is a key resource for architects, architectural historians, and critical theorists and will appeal to academics, and to both graduate and advanced undergraduate students in architectural history and theory and Middle East and global south studies"--
