Amazing Pics From The United Arab Emirates, An Architectural Petting Zoo!
January 23, 2013
“Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi”
If you follow Architizer on Instagram (which you totally should) then you’ll have noticed I’ve been in Abu Dhabi and documenting all the architectural gems I came across there. I was in the Emirate for a week because the Sheikha Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan arranged to transport and install Wendy, HWKN‘s winning entry for the 2012 Young Architects Program at MoMA PS1.
When weren’t on the corniche with Wendy 2.0, we were out and about admiring the fantastic contemporary architecture that the UAE has to offer. Between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, it’s like an architectural petting zoo of mammoth proportions. Let me know what you think – and if I missed anything! Click through to see the images from my travels.
