Dubai is laying the foundation for the inaugural d3 Architecture Festival, which will take place from November 11 to 13.
Organised by Dubai Design District (d3), in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects Gulf Chapter (RIBA Gulf Chapter), the move aims to establish the emirate’s first platform to showcase regional architecture, urbanism and sustainable development.
The event will be held on the sidelines of Dubai Design Week and will be curated by Juan Roldan, Associate Professor in the College of Architecture, Art & Design at the American University of Sharjah under the theme ‘Identity, Context and Placemaking in the Gulf’.
