520    "Between 1860 and 1940, Cairo and other large cities in 
       Egypt witnessed a major construction boom that gave birth 
       to extraordinary palaces and lavish buildings. These 
       incorporated a mix of architectural styles, such as Beaux-
       Arts and Art Deco, with local design influences and 
       materials. Today, many lie empty and neglected, rapidly 
       succumbing to time, a real-estate frenzy, and an ongoing 
       population crisis. In 2006 Russian-born photographer Xenia
       Nikolskaya began the process of documenting these 
       structures. She gained exceptional access to them, taking 
       photographs at some thirty locations, including Cairo, 
       Alexandria, Luxor, Minya, Esna, and Port Said. These 
       photographs were documented in the first edition of Dust: 
       Egypt's Forgotten Architecture, which soon after its 
       release in 2012 became a rare collector's item. This 
       revised and expanded edition includes photographs from the
       first edition together with extra unseen images and new 
       photographs taken by Nikolskaya between 2013 and 2021. It 
       also includes previously unpublished essays by Heba Farid,
       co-owner of the Cairo-based photo gallery Tintera, and 
       architect and urban planner Omar Nagati, co-founder of 
       CLUSTER, an urban design and research platform also in 
       Cairo. Dust: Egypt's Forgotten Architecture leads us 
       seductively into some of the most breathtaking 
       architectural spaces of Egypt's recent past, filled with a
       sense of both the immense weight and impermanence of 
       history."--|cProvided by publisher
