Notes
The most dominating influence on the architecture of Bahrain can be seen in this project and others of Makiya’s. The project presents pragmatic solutions that do not demonstrate monumental ambitiousness. Makiya’s maturity and realistic capacity to combine elements of the regional tradition with new functional needs is evident in the project.
