Du(b)ailities

Supra_global_culture / micro_ethnic_localities

Dubai is a city that has become the center of discussion and discourse across the globe as the post 20th century city and urban model. The international architectural / urban competition, Du(b)ailities: Supra_global_culture / micro_ethnic_localities, aims at intensifying and enriching this exchange by inviting young architects and students of architecture from the UAE and across the world to participate and present visions, concepts and proposals for Dubai. By doing this, the city and its inhabitants will have the chance to participate and discuss ideas about their city and benefit from the presented proposals.

The competition offers its participants - students and architects under the age of 40 - two separate challenges: one for the larger city scale and the other for a smaller urban area. Solutions for both categories will create the basis of real proposals and possibilities for the city.
