Title: Excellent concept and execution
Product review: This book vividly and imaginatively captures the aura of a fading cultural legacy--the loss of period architecture at the alter of modernity and urban chaos. Jamila's paintings in mixed media don't depict only the buildings, but also the ambience of common daily life that is so inextricably intertwined with such old dwellings. A remarkable execution of an ephemeral idea, with each full color plate presenting a slightly different stylistic interpretation of the subject. The writeup on the artist's early life spent growing up in similar environs really brings these faraway places to life. All in all, a very worthy addition to anyone's collection of coffee table books.
