Preserving Arab Architectural Heritage

Preserving Arab Architectural Heritage

Architect George Arbid is leading an exhibition that uncovers the forgotten histories of buildings in Baghdad, Damascus, and Tunis. Using archives, drawings, and films, he reveals hidden stories-like a 1936 Baghdad house with original contracts still intact-showing how these structures reflect cultural and technological history. It's a powerful reminder to preserve and learn from our architectural past. The exhibition runs in Sharjah until July 12. https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/art-design/2026/05/10/how-architect-george-arbid-is-recovering-the-buildings-arab-cities-almost-forgot/

Powerful stuff. The drawings and films must bring these places to life in a whole new way.

A 1936 house with original contracts? That's incredible. The level of detail they've uncovered must be amazing to see.

This is fantastic work. So much history in these buildings that we risk losing forever. Hope it inspires more preservation efforts across the region.
