Dean, College of Architecture, Art and Design at the American University of Sharjah
foreword Welcome to the second annual edition of the 6˚ catalog and exhibition. This publication presents self-selected work from the graduating students of the College of Architecture, Art and Design, and coincides with a single-night exhibition at the college on June 8th 2012. CAAD shares the vision of excellence and relevance in education, the arts, and culture of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qassimi, Member of the Supreme Council of the United Arab Emirates, Ruler of Sharjah, and President of the American University of Sharjah. The graduating students will, and the alumni and faculty of the college continue to, shape the creative culture and advance the creative economy of Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates, and the broader region. In his seminal essay, Tradition and the Individual Talent, T.S. Eliot writes that “No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone.” This assembly of student work references numerous disciplines, traditions, trajectories, cultures, and aspirations. It is a loose collection of projects bound by place (CAAD) and time (2012). It is a momentary sampling of interests, explorations, and fascinations on the minds of the current graduating class. Therefore, it is here that we find a cross-section of creative expression – individual and collective voice – that articulates a broad spectrum of ideas, issues, mediums, paths, and processes. Each day at CAAD, we work on the individual and collective voice; we give voice and identity through creative, intelligent, skillful, and meaningful acts and processes. Our point of view, our place in space and time, help form our perspectives and actions; and our knowledge and understanding of others, and other times, help us create significant and relevant work. All of us at the college are very proud of our soon-to-be alumni achievements, and extend our continuing support and high expectations. We all share the desire for the best future for our graduating students, as well as share in the appreciation of their time and efforts spent at the college and university. Thank you as well to all family members and friends, to the professional communities, to the administration, and to all staff and faculty members.
“
