This book is published with the exhibition Wetland, at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale de Venezia. Written by Rashid and Ahmed Bin Shabib. Editors: Rashid bin Shabib, Wael Al Awar, Ahmed bin Shabib and Kenichi Teramoto. The Sabkha, or salt flat, has long played an important role in earth sciences and continues to develop current ecological discourse. As cities in the UAe and across the world become increasingly more urbanized, The anatomy od Sabkhas demonstrated that wetlands are a cause worth presenting and preserving - as a solution to climate change, and more importantly , as a resource to be studied for sustainable urban development.
