Bio: Howayda Al-Harithy is Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at the Department of Architecture and Design (ArD) at the American University of Beirut (AUB). Her early research was centered on the architectural and urban practices of the Mamluk period in Egypt, Syria and Palestine. It engaged theoretical models of interpretation, particularly post-structuralist models, as analytic tools of the production of architectural and urban space in medieval cities. Her current research conceptualizes urban recovery in relation to processes of historical editing, urban trauma, and protracted displacement.
