A Field of Possibilities: The Post-Oil Future of Bahrain |
|
| Authors: | Noura Al Sayeh |
| Abstract: | Much of the continuing urban development of the Gulf region rests on the oil economy. What happens, though, when the oil runs out? What is the alternative model? Bahrain is already facing the depletion of the oil that supported its rapid growth. Noura Al Sayeh , the Head of Architectural Affairs at the Ministry of Culture of the Kingdom of Bahrain, highlights how architecture might be developed to generate new urban forms that are economically viable and environmentally sustainable. |
