	A short introduction to the architecture of the Arabian Gulf
		The Gulf’s architectural forms have to some extent been limited by two overriding factors - climate and the availability of building materials - but look beyond the predominant sand/mud colour of many of the buildings and there is a wealth of difference in the detail.
		While many of the Gulf’s traditional buildings have presented a rather blank exterior face to the world with their focus on the internal courtyard, the main entrance was often rich in detail and texture, as if to compensate for the overall blandness of the walls.
		Arabian Gulf Miniatures’ ever-growing collection of architectural miniatures is a celebration of this distinctive and important aspect of Gulf Arab culture.

		These are "biotopes." One example is the shallow-water grassbeds of the Gulf, with their population of shellfish, snails, shrimp larvae, turtles, algae, fish, crabs and worms, their topography of flat "meadows" and tidal channels, and their input of sunlight, sediment and plankton.
		And because of high temperatures, the shallow Gulf water evaporates faster than it is replaced by the inflow from the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and from the smaller rivers of the eastern shore.
		In fact, the study has shown the grassbed biotope to be the foundation of today's Arabian Gulf shrimp industry, for it is in the grassbeds that the young shrimp shelter and feed from the spring till the summer—and during that time,—thanks to the richness of the biotope, they increase their weight about 2,000 times.
