Discovering Arabian Deco by Ibrahim Mohamed Jaidah

Each decade experienced events that shaped the city s evolution. The book will also shine a light on the 1960s movement named Qatari Deco.

It showcases never-before-seen photographs, drawings, and buildings from his private collection and the Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB) archives.
