Zawia
                              is a periodical, English & Arabic publication
                              on design, architecture &
                              urbanism.

The
                              first volume Zawia#00:Change  is out now! It
                              features contributions from Saskia Sassen,
Stefano
                              Boeri, Joseph Grima, WAI architecture think
tank,
                              Carlo Ratti, Markus Miessen and many more.
                              Zawia#00:Change will be exceptionally available
                              for preview from Zawia’s website [www.zawia.co]

"Zawia#00:Change
                              discusses the significantly changing realities
                              imposed on all social, political and economic
                              systems and their influence on design
disciplines.
                              The complex global situation and continuous
                              fluctuations within these systems demand a new
                              understanding and repositioning of the
field. The
                              contributions aim to respond to issues such
as the
                              failing economic and political systems
worldwide,
                              growing discontent with capitalism,
unemployment,
                              social injustice, and social media
empowerment, if
                              the discipline is to remain relevant and
involved
                              in the remaking of these structures.
                              Zawia#00:Change will attempt to demonstrate
                              whether architects are ready to embrace
changing
                              ideals and new modes of operation, and whether
                              they are willing to help better people’s lives
                              rather than focusing on glorifying design or
                              architecture."
