November 20, 2007
In collaboration with The Third Line and the American University of Sharjah
Dates: Friday 4 - Sunday 13 January 2008
A nine-day international visiting student workshop by the Architectural Association London, one of the worlds most respected and ambitious pedagogical laboratories for architectural design, will combine the AAs unit system with local intelligence. It will run a design-based curriculum that unites radical criticism with the rigorous production of ideas. Each tutor-led unit will investigate different aspects of the emerging spatial realities of the Gulf region, from workers housing to urban infrastructure, with a local focus on Dubai.
