'Saudi Modern: Jeddah in Transition, 1938–1964', edited by Abdulrahman and Turki Gazzaz of Bricklab, examines the development of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, since the discovery of oil in 1938. By exploring the city’s modernist traces, the book examines the transformation from a small walled city and pilgrimage hub into a sprawling metropolis, detailing how this rapid urban growth and the historiographical rupture have reshaped its infrastructure and societal fabric.
