Book Description

The word Majlis refers to a place of gathering and exchange. Across the Middle East, it has long served not only as a space for welcoming guests into the home, but also as an important setting where neighbors discuss public affairs, share knowledge, and sustain social relationships. Rather than being defined by grand architectural forms, the true significance of the Majlis lies in the connections, conversations, and collective experiences it fosters.

Originating from a major research and exhibition project presented during the Venice Architecture Biennale, this book explores how contemporary design can respond to issues of community and environment through the intersecting perspectives of architecture, craft, landscape, ecology, and local culture. Featuring contributions from architects, designers, craftspeople, and researchers, the publication presents a wide range of observations and practical case studies, including Colombian architect Simon Vélez’s large-scale bamboo exhibition structure and numerous projects that integrate local materials with traditional craftsmanship.

Rather than focusing on formal innovation or technological advancement, the book is primarily concerned with the role of design as a mediator between people and place. Whether through the creation of architectural spaces, the sourcing and use of materials, or the transmission of craft knowledge, each project reflects a deeper understanding of local cultures and ecological systems.

At a time when sustainability, locality, and community engagement remain central topics in contemporary architecture and design, The Majlis: A Meeting Place offers a thoughtful and timely perspective. It reminds us that the most important function of space may not simply be to accommodate activities, but to create opportunities for encounter, dialogue, and shared experience. When architecture reconnects with people and communities, the value carried by design becomes both more meaningful and more enduring.
