Bridging Architecture and Digital Society.

This year’s theme, „Generation XYZ,“ emphasizes intergenerational dialogue in our digital era. At ArchiTangle, we contribute to this conversation through our publications that intersect architecture, technology, our living environments and social justice.
A highlight is Visual Investigations: Between Advocacy, Journalism edited by Lisa Luksch and Andres Lepik. This work showcases how architectural tools and visual evidence can uncover human rights violations, from detention camps in Xinjiang to climate justice issues in the Pacific Islands.
The presence of our books underscores our commitment to exploring how design and digital tools can drive societal change.

📚 Celebrating World Book Day!

At ArchiTangle, books are more than objects—they are vessels of ideas, catalysts for dialogue, and tools for change.
On this World Book Day, we reaffirm our commitment to publishing with purpose. Architecture doesn’t exist in a vacuum—and neither should the discourse around it. That’s why we bring together critical voices from around the globe, fostering conversations that reach beyond aesthetics and form to tackle the social, ecological, and political dimensions of the built environment.
Our mission is clear: to empower architectural thinking that matters and disseminate the knowledge about. We publish with intention, amplify underrepresented perspectives, and support projects that challenge, inspire, and inform. Whether it’s through experimental formats, collaborative authorship, or interdisciplinary research, we believe architectural publishing can—and must—drive meaningful impact.
As one of the leading voices in international architectural publishing today, we’re proud to support authors, editors, and readers who believe in the transformative power of books.
Here’s to the ideas we share—and the worlds we imagine through them. Find our program via the link in the bio https://architangle.com/catalog

„Saudi Modern: Jeddah in Transition, 1938–1964,“ edited by Abdulrahman and Turki Gazzaz of , explores the urban and architectural transformation of the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, since the discovery of oil—highlighting the city’s rapid modernization and societal change.
Over the last ninety years, Jeddah has transitioned from a modest walled city and pilgrimage hub into a sprawling modern metropolis. The complex urban morphology that characterizes it today can be credited to the port city’s role in the Saudi Arabian oil industry that arose after the discovery of natural oil reservoirs in 1938. The industry brought foreign companies and institutions, as well as workers and their families, from around the world. The city grew beyond its old walls. Moreover, interactions with modern technologies and development models launched a radical infrastructural and architectural reconfiguration of the urban fabric.

As a reaction to this dramatic shift, the language of the vernacular has become fetishized. Modernist developments post-1938 are today commonly considered inauthentic, and many of the buildings, streets, and neighborhoods that bear witness to the evolution of the city right after the discovery of oil have been demolished without formal archival documentation. In their place, new megaprojects have sprung up. Driven by global capital, Jeddah, along with other cities across the Persian Gulf, has entered yet a new phase of sweeping urban transformation.
Highlighting fifteen case studies, the book further combines scholarly essays with visual contributions, presenting unparalleled documentary research and historical contextualization of the city’s disappearing modernist heritage.

With contributions by Asaad Badawi, Lina Barnawi, Bricklab, Abdulrahman Gazzaz, Turki Gazzaz, Laurian Ghinițoiu, Stefan Maneval, Safouh Naamani, Todd Reisz, Anhar Salem, Saudi Ethnographic Diary, Sumayya Vally, and excerpts from historical research by Abdulla Yahia Bokhari and Sameer Al Layali.
