This tote features “House in As Salatah Al Jadidah” by Ronnie Abdelmaksoud, an image drawn directly from Future of Gulf Housing: Reflections and Propositions.

The photograph documents a residential structure within Doha’s As Salatah Al Jadidah neighbourhood, foregrounding housing as a lived environment shaped by everyday use, material choices, and incremental change. Presented outside the context of iconic skylines, the image aligns with the publication’s focus on neighbourhoods and domestic architecture as sites where culture, policy, and design intersect.

The tote translates this visual documentation into a functional object, allowing the research and imagery of the book to circulate beyond the page.
