Exhibition on Architecture and the Home

Home In Qattan News Exhibition on Architecture and the Home

The Mosaic Rooms, London, hosted the exhibition “Home: Contemporary Architectural Interpretations of the Home in the Arab World” from 21 June to 7 July. The exhibition was organised by the Museum of Architecture (MoA) as part of the British Council’s International Architecture and Design Showcase 2012, London Festival of Architecture and London 2012 Festival. The exhibition aimed to explore and challenge traditional identities by presenting contemporary Arab architecture that seeks to redefine or re-confirm each country’s unique interpretation. From a redeveloped passenger trunk, investigating what ‘makes’ a home when we take it with us, to readdressing the need for familiar, intimate spaces on a social housing scale, the exhibition presents a diverse, considered and inventive approach to contemporary practice. More
