Zawia is a relatively young and highly ambitious architecture publication, one that places a strong emphasis on community politics with global connections. Coordinated between representatives in Cairo, Milan and London, Zawia also produces a series of collaborative events on architecture, design and urbanism, while basing its publication in Egypt. This multi-national collaboration is a indicative of Zawia’s purpose, to help dissolve the Middle East’s intellectual isolation from global architectural discourse and create an open discussion still rich in local perspectives.
