Researching Middle Eastern/Northern African & the Built Environment

WHERE ARE MY PEOPLE? MIDDLE EASTERN AND NORTHERN AFRICAN IN ARCHITECTURE
Where is the data on Middle Eastern and North African people? Why is it that people are largely confused about who fits in this category? Why does architecture classify this population as White? If we can find MENA people at the top tiers of design institutions then how is discrimination relevant?
