This discussion centers around the shared design and overall aesthetic of Levantine architecture both from a historical perspective and contemporary architectural designs. It focuses on the role that architecture can play in the construction of a new Levant – the role it has played in the past, the role it plays today, and the role it will play in the future. The panelists explore the concept of the “Levantine city,” and urban design over the course of time.
