Building on a world stage After several years in which its future seemed uncertain, 2014 was something of an annus mirabilis for the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation. Not only was the building opened to the public for the first time in five years during last year’s Qasr Al Hosn Festival, but it also made a remarkable double appearance at the Venice Biennale’s 14th International Architecture Exhibition. Both the United States and the UAE chose the National Library and Cultural Centre (as the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation was once known) as a reference point in their exploration of Absorbing Modernity 1914-2014, one of three themes devised for the Biennale by its director Rem Koolhaas. “It is a function of this place of rapid change that there are disappearances. It happens all the time that we find a place and six months later it is gone,” Kevin Mitchell, professor of architecture and vice chancellor of the American University of Sharjah, explains in the installation. “In a way, memory is something to hold on to that counters transience. Expatriates live in transience, in that we come and go. The citizen population lives and experiences transience in the drastic change of urban development.” Commissioned by the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation and curated by the American art historian Michele Bambling, the pavilion has now been brought back to Abu Dhabi and is being exhibited inside the Cultural Foundation as part of this year’s Qasr Al Hosn Festival. The “repository” of projects that Kubo helped to assemble for OfficeUS included 22 TAC projects such as Abu Dhabi’s National Library and Cultural Centre and the Hotel InterContinental Sharjah, but started with Walter Gropius and Hisham Mounir’s University of Baghdad (1957-83), the project that effectively launched the practice in the region.

Annabel is....outspoken I'm standing in the immigration queue at Dubai Airport waiting to get my passport stamped.As I shuffle forward, I decide I'm going to go for it this time: I'm going to greet the Emirati official in Arabic. Dr Maher Bahloul, a language professor at the American University of Sharjah, suggests that learning just 500 words of Gulf Arabic would be enough for expats to be able to communicate the basics.
