UAE Modern
2017
14 -15 NOVEMBER 2017
The Conference organised for the Dubai Design Week gathers together scholars, professionals, institutional bodies and likeminded individuals involved in modern architecture heritage research and practice
The initiative aims at spreading awareness on the value of architectural experimentation and achievements of the period between the 1950s and the 1980s, in which the UAE and their neighbour countries shifted from their traditional urban and architectural settings to cope with the challenges that were emerging from fast economic growth.
