Architecture is responsible for our identity as a culture.
When we mention a city like “Paris” for instance– it is usually the architecture of the city that we picture an associate with the name.
Likewise, architecture is responsible for urban identity in times of war– when architecture, literally, becomes the targets on which we focus for destruction.
So in that sense architecture not only houses our cultural institutions, but is itself, a cultural institution.
This makes it even more important that the architecture must be carefully considered.
Yes the unstable situation in the Middle East region affect Middle East Architecture.
The Middle East is one of the most significant regions of the world because of its geopolitical situation, oil resources, and holy sites.
Its internal politics revolve around ethnic, ideological and territorial disputes, and competition for Arab leadership; the security situation is further threatened by complex military dynamics, involving formal armies, non-state actors, as well as external forces, and foreign direct as well as covert interference driven by powerful economic interests.
