"The exhibition examines how architectural histories are constructed, preserved, and revisited over time, bringing together archival materials, physical models, and newly commissioned films."
"This second iteration reflects an ongoing effort to map architectural histories from within the region, positioning archives as active sites of inquiry rather than static repositories."
"The approach also foregrounds the precarious condition of architectural archives in the region, many of which remain fragmented, under-documented, or at risk of loss."
The Sharjah Architecture Triennial presents A Journey into Architecture Archives: Baghdad, Damascus, Tunis, curated by George Arbid, from May 2 to July 12, 2026. This exhibition continues the commitment to documenting architectural archives in the Arab world. It features archival materials, models, and films, examining the construction and preservation of architectural histories. The project aims to connect dispersed collections and foster collaboration among researchers. The 2026 edition adopts a 'Collection Room' format, emphasizing the precarious state of architectural archives and their role as active sites of inquiry.
