This section brings together key texts that inform the intersections of aid, philanthropy, architecture, and pan-Arab urbanism. The selected works span theoretical reflections, historical accounts, and case studies that situate architecture within broader humanitarian, political, and cultural frameworks. Together, they provide a foundation for understanding how spatial practices are entangled with networks of care, solidarity, and regional identity.
