The University of Miami School of Architecture Presents
NASSER RABBAT
Professor of Islamic Architecture, MIT
"Modernism, Islamism, and the Question of Identity in the Architecture of the Arab World"
Nasser Rabbat’s scholarly interests include the history and historiography of Islamic art and architecture, urban history, and post-colonial criticism. His research focuses on the overlapping intercultural spaces where peoples have always met and exchanged ideas, views, beliefs, and practices, and in the process created art and architecture. He received his masters in architecture at UCLA and his Ph.D. at MIT. He has worked as a designer in Los Angeles and Damascus. Among his honors are The American Research Center in Egypt Fellowship and the J. Paul Getty Postdoctoral Fellowship. In his lecture, he will review the recent history of architecture in the Arab world down to the present from the perspective of identity politics.
