AlUla
La 4e de couv. indique : "Located in north-western Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a spectacular natural and archaeological region. This book traces its age-old history, from the earliest human occupation seven thousand years ago to the present day. It also examines the extensive archaeological research that has been conducted for nearly thirty years, notably by Franco-Saudi teams. The geological formation of the valley and its oases, the cult practices of the ancient pre-Islamic kingdoms, the majesty of the Nabatean rock-cut tombs, the birth of the Arabic script, the life of pilgrims who stopped in AlUla on their way from Damascus to Medina and the construction of the Hijaz railway all prove the importance of this long-overlooked site, at the crossroads of civilisations. AlUla - known as Hegra to the Nabateans and Romans, and the first Saudi archaeological site to be added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, in 2008 - is opening up to the world. Comparable in scale and importance to Petra in Jordan, Hegra is revealing its treasures for the duration of an exhibition."

Contributors including Chuck Hoberman, Robert Kronenburg, David Leatherbarrow, Kas Oosterhuis, Enric Ruiz-Geli, and many others explore the changes buildings undergo – and the scale and speed at which these occur – examining which changes are necessary, useful, desirable, and possible. The first book ...
