Developed as part of SAT ‘s long-term research program, the project continues the institution’s commitment to documenting and safeguarding architectural archives across the Arab world. Bringing together archival materials, physical models, and newly commissioned films, the exhibition examines how architectural histories are constructed, preserved, and revisited over time.

The broader initiative seeks to contribute to a shared archival infrastructure by connecting dispersed collections and fostering collaboration between researchers, institutions, and independent practitioners. 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.

Al-Hassani Responding to ongoing political and material instability across parts of the region, the 2026 edition adopts the format of a “Collection Room.” This shift reflects an evolving curatorial methodology that moves away from conventional exhibition display toward a more sustained and research-oriented engagement with archival material. 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, while emphasizing their importance as repositories of collective memory and architectural knowledge.
