Ten films about comtemporary architecture 3: Islam: the Search for Identity
Oil has brought unprecedented wealth to the Middle East and, as a consequence, a massive programme of new buildings. This programme looks at Kuwait, Doha and Jeddah where signs of an Islamic contemporary architecture are now emerging. The State Mosque in Kuwait, the University of Qatar and the Suleiman Palace in Saudi
Arabia were all built by Arab architects. The new
Parliament Building by Utzon, the spectacular Haj
Terminal by SOM show that western architecture can give a feeling of place.
Sheikha Hussa (daughter of the Emir of Kuwait), Sheikh Farsi (Mayor of Jeddah),
Egyptian architects Kamal El Kafrawi and Abdel El Wakil are all working towards an Arab identity based on tradition.
