welcome: Dubai Design District (d3)

Dubai Design District (d3), is delighted to welcome you to the second edition of Dubai’s premier design event, Dubai Design Week, taking place in the city of Dubai. This week promises to showcase some of the region’s most creative talent, as it provides a new platform for emerging and international talent to meet, interact and be inspired. The event also offers a unique window to the many exciting collaborations that are taking place in the region, and more broadly, it will illustrate just how much the industry has evolved over recent years. In just twelve short months since the inaugural Dubai Design Week last October, the MENA design landscape has been rapidly propelling itself forward with Dubai establishing itself firmly on the map as a key design hub in the Middle East. Whilst we are focused on our own very unique purpose of creating a dynamic community for the region’s designers and design enthusiasts to live, work and play, it is important to ensure that d3 has the opportunity to play a wider role in the development of Dubai’s design landscape. This year’s Dubai Design Week is the perfect opportunity to ensure that our mission to inspire creativity and innovation reaches all corners of the city through the number of events and activities we are supporting throughout the week. Over the past year, through our creative community at d3, we have been able to answer the needs of the various creative

divisions who reside here together, ensuing that we provide an opportunity for them to grow. Global Grad Show is a recent example which directly underpins d3’s objective of supporting education across the region, whilst inspiring a collaborative approach to creativity and fostering a genuine community spirit for the design sector. With over 270 creative partners, the core of d3 is now open; and, with many more partnerships like Dubai Design Week in the pipeline, we are well on our way to making d3 a truly global creative community that engages, inspires, and enables creative thinkers. We are delighted to be continuing our joint venture with Art Dubai Group as we share the same vision and ambition – to drive the design industry forward and place the Middle East firmly onto the global map for design. Dubai Design Week is the flagship event to showcase Dubai, including the considerable amount of talent located here, as well as being a global meeting point for the international design community. I look forward to seeing you all at this spectacular event. Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi Chief Operating Officer, d3 dubaidesigndistrict.com

welcome: The Future of Design - Brendan McGetrick

Design these days is well thought of but poorly understood. Most of us assume that a designer’s job is to make things beautifully, to elevate an ordinary object so that it sparkles. This assumption isn’t unfair but it misses something essential. The diversity and originality of projects across Dubai Design Week reveal that the beauty of a design is often in its idea, in the impulse that the work responds to and the effectiveness of its answer. A great design delivers both a diagnosis and a cure. It identifies an unseen opportunity or unexpressed need and suggests a solution. Dubai Design Week is not simply a showcase for beautiful objects; it is a celebration of beautiful ideas. Its enormous assortment of exhibitions, installations, and events reveal what’s happening in the world of design, whether local, regional, or international. Together, the projects presented here reveal the fascinations, fears, and ideals of the next generation of designers. But, more than that, they offer an overview of the human experience and a new toolkit for making it better. Global Grad Show is my contribution to the rich depiction of design being put forth at Dubai Design Week. Just as Abwab and Iconic City open doors to the creativity of the MENASA region, and Destination incorporates design weeks from around the world, Global Grad Show invites 50 of world’s leading design schools, spread across 30 countries and 6

continents, and provides them a platform to exhibit their work and meet a new audience. Like all of Design Week, Global Grad Show is concerned with design but motivated by humanity. Every project included in the exhibition is represented by one of its authors, making Global Grad Show the largest student gathering ever assembled. It provides a powerful, non-commercial companion to Downtown Dubai, the commercial centrepiece of Design Week and primary showcase for the aesthetically adventurous products that most often spring to mind when we think of design. Dubai Design Week is an expression of its city. Conceived and constructed to maximise connection, Dubai is the optimal meeting place – open, energetic, unburdened by the complex histories and entrenched institutions of other cities. Dubai needs design. But just as much, design needs Dubai – to challenge its assumptions, expose its imbalances, expand its community. Each feature of Design Week contributes to these efforts to challenge, expose, and expand. Together they amount to an invitation to the designers of the world to interact with and apply pressure to the status quo. Through these interactions, design becomes richer, fairer, less predictable and ultimately more valuable. Brendan McGetrick, Curator Global Grad Show globalgradshow.com

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen,

،‫ مرحباً بكم‬،‫السيدات والسادة‬

Great design is the way we at Audi envision our future. At Dubai Design Week, we are proud to be part of the fantastic creativity and innovation that will shape the way we live tomorrow.

‫ التصميم الرائع هي الطريقة‬،‫في أودي‬ ‫ وفي أسبوع‬.‫التي نستوحي به مستقبلنا‬ ً‫ نحن فخورون بأن نكون جزءا‬،‫دبي للتصميم‬ ‫من االبداعات واالبتكارات التي تشكل‬ .‫الطريقة التي سنعيش فيها في المستقبل‬

Audi seeks to consistently stimulate a creative dialog with art and design: Art is created on the pulse of time and provides a perspective on developments for the future. As a progressive brand, Audi stands for modern, trendsetting design and strives for creative interaction. The support of visual arts and design therefore plays an important role for the company. As a result, Audi has maintained a longtime partnership with Dubai Design Week and Design Days Dubai. Audi design is progressive and highly emotional; it expresses the technological competence and quality claim of our brand perfectly. Our designers seek inspiration in everything they do and authenticity is key. Audi stands for sportiness, lightweight design and the quattro permanent all-wheel drive so when we design an Audi, we express this know-how in a new form and we put the sportiest car in the premium segment on wheels. At Dubai Design Week 2016, we are showing our Audi Sport flagship model, the all-new Audi R8. This car is the most successful model in the history of the World Car Awards having already won four trophies and impressing an international

jury of 73 leading automotive journalists. The Audi R8 Coupé offers more performance than any other Audi production model. The V10 midengine and a newly developed quattro drive offer extraordinary driving performance. The top version, with 610 hp, sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and its maximum speed is 330 km/h. Design and innovation success are talents that we strive to develop and share in the wider community. Our aim is to encourage and stimulate creativity and innovation so, Audi Middle East is partnering with Dubai Design Week and Design Days Dubai to offer an award programme of our own that will give the winner the chance to see their innovative design become a reality. The Audi Innovation Award is the first of its kind in the world and we hope that the artists and designers in the Middle East will be inspired to create ideas that will become icons of the future. We wish all competition entrants every success and look forward to meeting our first winners at Design Days Dubai in March 2017. Sincerely, Enrico Atanasio Director, Audi Middle East audi-dubai.com

Dubai Design and Fashion Council

welcom e welcom e welcome

welcome: Dubai Design and Fashion Council

The Dubai Design and Fashion Council (DDFC), part of Dubai Creative Clusters Authority (DCCA), was established by the Dubai Government in 2014, following the decree his highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, in his capacity as Ruler of Dubai, issued for the year 2013. As the custodian of design in the Emirate, DDFC’s mandate is to raise the profile of Dubai as a regional and global destination for design and fashion, ensure the contribution of these sectors to the sustainable development of the Emirate and develop local and regional talent. DDFC’s board, chaired by Dr. Amina Al Rustamani and operated by CEO Nez Gebreel, consists of 15 board members representing a mix of key stakeholder groups, including government, academic, not-forprofit and private sector experts. DDFC oversees and supports initiatives related to Interior Design, Architecture, Product Design, Fashion Design and Graphic Design. Through the DDFC Talks and the Urban Majlis discussion forum, DDFC unites the region’s design industry to share skills, debate and exchange ideas, whilst its soon-to-be-launched DDFC Membership Programme will offer a variety of benefits to designers. To recognise excellence within the industry, DDFC supports a series of awards in partnership with leading organisations, including its own DDFC/Vogue Fashion Prize and the International Woolmark Prize.

Aligned with DDFC’s mandate to establish Dubai a leading voice in the field of design, an integral aspect of DDFC’s work involves creating thought-leadership papers and studies that can be recognised globally. The MENA Design Outlook, developed by Deloitte and launched by DDFC in 2015 in partnership with Dubai Design District (d3), investigated and analysed the region’s design industry for the first time, benchmarking the state of design businesses today and identifying emerging trends. More recently, DDFC launched the MENA Design Education Outlook in partnership with the Dubai Design District (d3), a first of its kind report in MENA which provides insights into the design education landscape across the region. We are proud to once again extend our support to Dubai Design Week, an initiative that is closely aligned with DDFC’s mandate to establish Dubai as a regional and international destination for design. Following the success of Dubai Design Week’s inaugural edition, we look forward to witnessing the breadth of talent participating this year and celebrating the best in design and innovation from around the globe. dubaidesignandfashioncouncil.ae

About the Abwab Pavilions

Located within the walkways of d3, Abwab is housed in a temporary pavilion cluster made from a re-appropriated greenhouse structure to form a ‘housh’ or courtyard, a playful nod to Arab neighborhood nostalgia. Paths of filtered light and shady, canopied public spaces allow for access and pockets to converse in – the negative space acts as a harbour and gathering space for visitors. This year’s Abwab pavilion structure is designed by UAEbased architectural practice a hypothetical office, a collaborative body of three architects:

Fortuné Penniman is an architect based in Dubai. He graduated from the Architectural Association in London and is currently working on research and design projects in the Gulf region. Hatem Hatem is an architect who investigates the potential of design through the use of digital and material systemic processes. Meitha Al Mazrooei is editor of WTD Magazine, an architecture publication that documents the existing landscapes of the region through visual essays and critical narratives. ahypotheticaloffice.com

Tab tab fi d'zairwatam Drumming from Algiers to Tamanrasset Visiting the Algerian pavilion is an interactive experience. The space consists of graphic surfaces displaying representations of sounds. These are created through an arrangement of uniquely designed percussion instruments that compose a vibrant audio landscape. Variations of the ‘galal’ and ‘derboukas’, traditional Arabic drums, are placed above mirrored flooring and enchant audiences with their reflections.

Curators & Designers: The purpose of the Algerian Pavilion is interaction. Users become musicians, performing improvised beats using contemporary Algerian designdrums. A soundtrack guides the audience through a sensory experience, inspiring personal beats and unifying everyone inside.

Hellal Zoubir is a painter and designer who has studied, trained and taught between Algeria and Paris. His curatorial work reflects his nation, ranging from The Algerian Designer at the Arab World Institute, IMA in Paris in 2012 to Dzair art and craft at the Museum of African Design (MOAD) in Johannesburg. Mourad Krinah is both a graphic designer and artist by trade. He has also curated New Algerian Art Scene, Dakar Biennial 2014. He designed the Picturie Générale exhibitions: Artissimo (Algiers 2013), La Baignoire (Algiers 2014) and Volta Market (Algiers 2016). Walid Bouchouchi’s work has been shown both nationally and internationally. He works closely with Krinah on many of the same exhibitions and regularly expresses an interest in national representation in the cultural arena. Souad Delmi Bouras is an interior designer living and working in Algieria. She regularly uses colour palettes from Algeria and her bright graphics and shapes are a reflection of the city she calls home. Souad has previously participated in Design Days Dubai and the Arab World

Institute Paris. She has also had a number of other exhibitions in Algeria. Mohamed Ourrad is an industrial and product designer who lives in the city of Rouiba. He exhibits his work in his studio where he also produces new textures and weaves experimental material. He has exhibited extensively throughout Algeria.

Kingdom of Bahrain Unearthing Kingdom of Bahrain

Curators & Designers

Enriching Bahrain’s Ancient Pottery Culture: Bringing earthenware back to our contemporary everyday lives, by re-envisioning the identity of Bahraini pottery.

Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities promotes all events and programmes related to culture, arts, and heritage in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Their vision is to facilitate and develop the cultural infrastructure and activate the role of culture in social and economic development.

Bahrain has a deeply rooted connection to the production of pottery, evidence of which has been unearthed through archaeological excavations around the island. Due to its prime sea-trade location, craftsmen became skilled in hybrid clay production. Though clay has been replaced by more durable materials of the industrial age, the Bahrain Pavilion proposes the material become more accessible by undergoing a transformation. Designers Maitham Al-Mubarak, Othman Khunji and the team at Bahrain Authority for Culture & Antiquities have collaborated to investigate the process of renewing this authentic craft.

Abwab

Visitors to the pavilion are invited to interact with clay by manipulating it into basic shapes suggested by the experts at Delmon Factory, where craftsmen still produce products by hand.

Othman Khunji is a Bahraini interdisciplinary designer who graduated from VCU with an MFA degree in Design Studies. He works across different mediums, from interactive installation/product design to fashion and interior design. Maitham AlMubarak is a Bahraini architect graduate from Savannah College of Art and Design in the USA. He currently works at Studio Anne Holtrop and has completed three courses under the Crown Prince’s Training Programs for the Youth, which include a communication, leadership, and management & business skills course.

Memoir Bar The exhibition invites visitors to make a personal memory tile which is then assembled into a library of memories. The interactive work is a witty exploration of whether it is possible to form tangible memories, and preserve an emotion forever. Pick a memory and write it down on a piece of paper. Shred it into a fine form and watch it being made into a tile. This is the act of encapsulating a memory in an object, or solidifying and preserving an emotion forever; forming a library of preserved memories. Using memory as currency, visitors obtain the power to relive it through the object at will, ultimately constructing a large sanctuary of compressed and transferred emotion: the memoir bar.

Curators & Designers: Thukral & Tagra is New Delhibased design duo Jiten Thukral and Sumir Tagra. Together the two aim to blur the lines between design and culture by specifically looking at the repercussions of cultural globalisation on modern day India. While both playful and humorous, their works express thoughtful questions about the nature of Indian identity as it is articulated by Indians themselves and projected on to India by the rest of the world.

Iraq Excavations

Curators & Designers:

Present day Iraq is an amalgamation of overlapping civilisations, identities, languages and traditions. The Iraq pavilion exhibits an exploration of the multi-layered histories embedded within this shared geography. The exhibition uncovers, draws inspiration from and reinterprets its artifacts.

Hozan Zangana Born in Kirkuk, Hozan Zangana is inspired by language, tradition and rituals; essential elements in our world that do not occupy any physical space. Zangana’s objects offer a new life to old heritages. He graduated from the Department of Man and Wellbeing at the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2013.

Abwab

The project emerges from a study of the formal, linguistic and material attributes of historical objects collected and found. Shape and colour, as encountered in architecture, sculpture and script, comprise the primary focus of exploration. The pavilion presents an incentive to reinterpret the historical object's role within contemporary design through an installation comprised of an archaeology of forms and a field of discoveries.

Mass Imperfections Greek Orthodox monks introduced olive wood carving to Bethlehem in the 4th century. It became a major craft industry in the 16th and 17th century’s after Franciscan and Italian pilgrims shared their know-how with local residents. Today, olive wood carving represents one-third of the craft industry in Bethlehem.

Abwab

Unfortunately, olive wood carvers are victims of globalisation and mass tourism as their skills are seldom recognised. Imported, cheaper olivewood-imitation objects impose harsh competition on the local community of artisans whose know-how is fading with history. Mass Imperfections is a project about monitoring and reproducing olive wood, master carvers’ hand-made errors, creating a low-cost mass customisation fabrication environment backed by a constantly upgraded design replication technique.

Mass Imperfections is a structure made out of olive wood elements that are small with respect to the structure they compose. The olive wood carvers use simple tools with which they fabricate a first model object. The project explores forms whose design simulation takes into account specific olive wood artisans’ discrepancies. On a community level, it seeks to create a framework to promote innovation through research in Bethlehem's olive wood industry.

United Arab Emirates The Future Cafeteria

Curators:

The word cafeteria dates back to the mid 19th century and its direct translation is "coffee shop” in Spanish. The essence of its origin was to have a selfserved experience to economise time and cost. However, the evolution of this word and its understanding relative to place has evolved into unique variations in every culture and country.

Salem Al-Qassimi is a multidisciplinary graphic designer and entrepreneur from Sharjah. He graduated with degrees from AUS and RISD and is currently an Assistant Professor at AUS in the College of Architecture Art and Design. In 2006, he founded Fikra Design Studio.

Abwab

Emirati cafeterias are everpresent and have become synonymous with the Emirati cultural experience. Moreover, the ‘cafeteria’ is a cultural concoction. It is a mélange of disparate tastes, visuals, and ideas coming together to form a multicultural singularity. The UAE pavilion re-imagines the cafeteria of the future, in an attempt to comment on cultural phenomenon.

Maryam Al Qassimi is a graphic designer and visual artist based in Sharjah. She graduated from the AUS with a Bachelor of Science in Visual Communication. She is currently Principal at Fikra Design Studio.

Designers: Salem Al Mansoori is a graduate from the interactive design-centric Interactive Telecommunications (ITP) master’s programme at Tisch School of the Arts, NYU in New York. Salem practices creative programming, physical computing, computer-aided fabrication and VR.

Tarik Zaharna is the founder and Director of T.ZED Architects. He is a graduate of the Bartlett School in London and has gained a wide range of professional practice having worked for Urban A&O in New York and Bolles+Wilson in Germany. T.ZED Architects is the second Architecture and Design practice founded by Tarik in Dubai. Ric Hernandez is a graphic designer. He is the principal and founder of ROCK3RS, a multidisciplinary design studio in New York City. His work focuses on providing spatial identities to a wide range of clients in the hospitality and corporate sectors. He is also Creative Director at Fikra Design Studio.

Iconic City

Building 6, Retail Unit 05, Dubai Design District (d3)

Cairo Now! City Incomplete captures for the first time, under one roof, Cairo’s current design landscape. The exhibition's title takes its inspiration from the infamous visual impression of Cairo’s red brick housing stock in varying stages of completion. The aesthetics of incompletion permeate Cairo’s design culture in content and form.

completed to avoid taxation, and the tendency to leave a bit of extra concrete sticking out of buildings' roofs in hopes of adding additional floors in the future. This, the city’s zeitgeist, is also reflected in the work of its designers who often take a satirical view of the absurdities that compose contemporary Cairo. The exhibition spans different areas of design, ranging from graphic design and typeface design, to product and furniture design, as well as architecture. Curated by Cairobserver's founder Mohamed Elshahed,

Yosra Gamal, Madinet Al-Bat font

Cairo Now! sheds light on the city's emerging young designers who, despite the lack of a marketplace or an infrastructure supporting their practices, continue to innovate, to revive bygone traditions with a contemporary edge, and always take Cairo with all its flaws as their muse and their source of creativity.

Incompleteness is a reflection of the city’s status quo: continuous expansion into the desert with partly realised satellite cities, speculative urbanism where buildings are never fully Iconic City

IKEA: 25 years of life at home in the UAE

IKEA

This year IKEA will celebrate 25 years of life at home in the UAE. As part of the celebration, IKEA will be present at Dubai Design Week through a life at home exhibition divided into 3 sections. Here, IKEA will amplify the message of design, IKEA's roots and global trends in life at home outside the shop floor.

Global trends and life at home.

IKEA

How does IKEA work with global trends? And how can global trends change life at home everyday? Life at home for IKEA is where it all starts. ‘At home’ isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling. Like being in the most comfortable space in the universe. For IKEA, understanding people’s life at home is the most natural place to start, pairing people’s needs with the abilities of suppliers to create new solutions that hope to make everyday life a little better.

Democratic design.

The story behind our products.

IKEA

Every IKEA product has a story to tell. And like every good story, it starts with a great idea, in IKEA’s case wanting to make everyday life at home better.

Every year IKEA undertakes thousands of home visits to learn more about people's needs and dreams. This is the starting point for every product designed. Democratic design brings good design to many people by combining the right mix of form, function, quality and sustainability, all at an affordable price. Democratic design will be brought together in one home where the strength of the products through function and storytelling will be shown.

25 years of life at home in the UAE.

The story of IKEA through the years including customer stories, co-workers stories and 25 years of the IKEA Catalogue. In 1991 IKEA came to the UAE and started in a small store in Karama. It has changed many people's lives. IKEA has grown with the population in the UAE. With 2 stores in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and a Customer Ordering and Collection Point in Al Ain it has become the shopping destination for the many different cultures in the UAE. 24 October, 2pm-9pm 25-28 October, 10am-9pm 29 October, 10am-7pm Building 7, Atrium, Dubai Design District (d3) IKEA.ae

hexalite Designed by Zeinab Al Hashemi

INSTALLATIONS

In numerology, the number 33 represents world harmony. It is the number of spiritual creation and transformative thinking, representing perfect logic, creativity and perseverance. The number 33 reveals the flow of healing energy through an honest heart and unconditional love. hexalite’s mesmerising multifaceted form is intended to challenge audiences to interact with the reflections, exploring the connections with each other and the world around them to expose glistening new realities. Zeinab Al Hashemi was born and is based in Dubai. She is a conceptual artist and designer specialising in site-specific installations, spatial art and modern public sculpture. Her work is collaborative and she often experiments with new materials and techniques to create strikingly contemporary works that draw on and reinterpret the symbols and traditions of her Emirati culture. Her practice is driven by an ongoing exploration of the concepts of space and time. Her works are intriguing and interactive as by deconstructing and reconstructing her chosen medium, she tells a visual story, bringing to the foreground that which would normally be overlooked.

Devised around the hexagon, a familiar motif in Al Hashemi’s work, hexalite combines Swarovski crystals and mirrored steel in 33 hexagonal structures, to create an infinite series of kaleidoscopic views. The structures reveal a shimmering, geometric mirage created by the elegant repetition of Swarovski crystal prisms and triangles coated in the multicolored Aurora Borealis effect. This sparkling Swarovski crystal illusion is a visual expression of the unbreakable connection between people and their environment.

Latifa Saeed is an Emirati multidisciplinary, conceptural Artist and Designer who enjoys experimenting with different art and design fields from graphic design to advertising, branding and product design. Saeed structures and manages her design process with one objective in mind; to communicate. In recent years, Saeed has been working with traditional techniques by reviving them in a contemporary context. Talin Hazbar always tries to accentuate the importance of designing within natural systems. She experiments with materials to understand their behavior and to challenge their properties. The process of transformation of materials allows Hazbar to understand the state of temporality that exists around and within us. Latifa Saeed and Talin Hazbar first met through the Tanween Design Programme by Tashkeel, after which, they began their collaborations with a 40 year old terracotta factory located in the Northern Emirates. Left Impression is the designers’ third collaboration with this terracotta factory.

24 October, 2pm-9pm 25-28 October, 10am-9pm 29 October, 10am-7pm Core Area, Dubai Design District (d3) Commissioned by Tashkeel

Left Impression is a seating installation inspired by the Emirati Majlis where family members, neighbours and people of the community would gather. Majlis, meaning a place of seating, is one of the major facets of social life in the UAE. The designers aim to create a focal point and gathering space for the design community where they can interact with the installation. Each stool is created by deforming its geometry which is then imprinted on by the designers; a different imprint on each unit. This new technique challenged the factory workers to come up with a new method of achieving such a malformation through a wheel throwing process.

Tashkeel was established in 2008 by Lateefa bint Maktoum. It is a contemporary art organisation based in Dubai committed to facilitating art and design practice, creative experimentation and cross-cultural dialogue. Tashkeel supports the UAE’s creative community through studio facilities, artists’ residencies, international fellowships, a programme of exhibitions, events and professional as well as recreational workshops. The exhibition space offers solo and thematic exhibitions, screenings, workshops and seminars, fulfilling Tashkeel’s commitment to bringing art and culture to a wider audience and engaging the local community.

Tashkeel annually selects designs from an open call for the Tanween programme. The programme supports designers to develop a range of products that work towards defining a production process, design and aesthetic that responds to the Emirates. Limited edition products by the participating designers are available under Tashkeel’s product label, Tanween.

For the music, Saudi director Majid Al Essa remixed a well-known traditional Samry song, performed by a group of men with new Western beats. The lyrics are of an original Nabati love poem by Bukhoot Al Marrirecall and tell of the late Bedouin poetess’ arduous personal journey towards an unattainable love. Neon lights on the swing set light up during swinging reminiscent of ice cream trucks in Saudi Arabia during the 1980s. Takki W Hakki layers various routes, temporalities and elements of nostalgia to create a powerful sensory experience.

1971 - Design Space

Upside down and inside out, with one eye squinting and the other half-shut. Is it a child playing with words, or a limerick to be repeated a number of times? No. This is how an up-and-coming design agency confesses to approaching their business. It is all about perspective. If you find the right angle, the rest will fall into place. Established in October 2011, by Maha Al Sudairi, in the city of Jeddah, Think Tank Co. has managed to build a solid reputation through self-appointed standards and innovation.

The interactive installation by Think Tank Co. brings people together in a unified playful experience of music and movement across time. The seats feature Sadu print cushions and are shaped like camel saddles, evoking ancient Bedouin transportation methods across the Arabian Peninsula. They are repurposed as swing seats in a circular formation and matched with headsets all playing the same upbeat track.

dubai design week '16

Talks & Workshops The Dubai Design Week public programme offers design professionals and enthusiasts alike the opportunity to engage more closely with design through leading figures, established platforms, diverse practices and creative talents. The programme includes keynote speeches, talks, presentations, panel discussions, masterclasses, workshops, family and children's activities. It also brings local, regional and international design professionals together to constructively discuss the global design industry. Intellectuals, educators, leaders, historians, designers and makers, all share their insights into what informs the present development of design as well as its future trends. Their interventions and inputs in the programme are curated and focused on different themes which form the basis of the following conversations, discussions and talks:

Architecture and Urban Development: Landscape Fields remembers the late Zaha Hadid. In this talk, panelists engage in a conversation around the late architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy and work within the Arab world. The talk investigates the conceptual, formal, and structural strategies deployed in various locales to create architecture that, while innovative in its realisation, maintains a deeply rooted and synchronistic relationship with its surrounding context. Through the lens of a selection of projects within the region, panelists also explore themes of landscape and environment as both performative and representational attributes. Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, who has been selected to design the United Arab Emirates' National Pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2020, gives a key note speech on iconic Architecture and its impact on the development of the surrounding urban fabric, as well as the environmental, economic and sociocultural aspects.

Sultan Sooud Al-Qassemi moderates the panel following Santiagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keynote and invites more panelists to discuss a different set of dynamics and criteria that dictate different models of the urban development in other Arab countries, in the absence of such iconic landmarks.

National & Islamic Design and their Traditional & Contemporary Practices: Curator of the UAE National Pavilion Yasser Al Sheshtawi, hosts a Q&A session to explore the new publication and its essays of Transformations: The Emirati National House. The session also highlights design elements, and their special characteristics, of the Emirati national house. Islamic Art, Architecture & Design, reviving Master Craftsmanship: Art Historian Abdul Karim Crites has worked with more than 700 master inlay artisans who create Islamic calligraphy panels. In his illustrated talk, Crites discusses

his work over the last 50 years on mosques, palaces and gardens around the world. Following the talk an amazing line up of panelists discuss Contemporary Practices of Islamic Design, the preserved Traditional and the reinvented Modern. On the same theme, Yasser Al Sheshtawi and Eric Broug run master classes on Curating Architecture and Islamic Geometric Design, respectively.

Talks & Workshops

The Established Design Industry and Models of Engagement with Creativity: International design brands and leading design platforms engage in discussions on trends, opportunities and collaborations and explore diverse ways of working with creativity be it established or emerging, all geared towards building a sustainable industry. All the way from New Zealand, prominent designer, David Trubridge, takes the audience through the journey of creating and establishing a brand that is successfully built on a strong environmentally conscious philosophy.

Celebrating the Year of Reading in the UAE: 2016 has been declared the Year of Reading in the UAE. Dubai Design Week joins in the celebration by highlighting the intersection between design and literature, and how the two creative industries enrich each other’s content and structure.

The Laboratory of Literary Architecture (LabLitArch), is a cross-disciplinary exploration of Literature as Architecture. Developed by Professor Matteo Pericoli, the 19-hour workshop brings Writers and Architects together to explore how pure, spatial, wordless thought is an essential aspect of both literary and architectural structures.

Architect Aziza Chaouni gives a keynote speech on the restoration of the world’s oldest al-Qarawiyyin Library in Fez, Morocco. The library was built in the year 859 by Fatima al-Fihri, daughter of a wealthy Tunisian merchant from Kairouan. The same complex that hosts the library is also home to the Qarawiyyin Mosque and Qarawiyyin University, the oldest higher education institution in the world with alumni including historian Ibn Khaldun, diplomat Leo Africanus and philosopher Moses Maimonides.

Fake or Real – the use of natural designs in practical applications The use of natural materials like grass, moss, wood or stone in interior design concepts for hotels, offices or even hospitals is becoming more and more attractive. However, natural materials have limitations in certain applications. To provide a practical alternative to all those areas where the natural material cannot be used in reality, 360° decoro creates images out of the originals and digitally prints

Mirzam

Mirzam chocolate, hand crafted in Dubai, is named after one of the stars used by sailors to navigate their way along the spice route.

For the first edition of the Mirzam Design Series, chocolate makers worked in collaboration with Emirati designer and photographer Sheikha Wafa Hasher Al Maktoum. Considered one of the most talented designers in the UAE, Sheikha Wafa’s creativity has expanded beyond the studio to create not only a unique recipe but also the paper wrapper.

The recipe created features toasted and lightly broken sesame seeds which are then infused with orange oil. Watch the chocolate bars being made in the museum style factory and experience each step of the production process before each bar is wrapped by hand in its signature geometric, mashrabiya style designs.

Mirzam: Monsters & Maps Collection Launch Arab traders sailed the Orient gathering cinnamon, nutmeg and other exotic goods to sell in European cities. The rich history of the spice route provided the inspiration for the collection’s packaging designs as well as a flamboyant series of illustrations, featuring celestial galaxies, historical monsters and maps. Tasting and tour times can be found online from October; no RSVP required.

University: KAIST

Hilla is a nightlight system to help the elderly and the visually impaired move about their homes safely. It softly illuminates a path that the user has set, bringing light right where it is needed. Hilla is designed for safety and simplicity: if the user gets out of bed at night the lamps will illuminate significant objects, such as the corner of a table or obstacles to avoid. The system is modular, motion-activated, wireless, customisable and easy to use.

Blind Guider is an orientation system for the visually impaired that uses Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to announce street names and directions as its users walk on city streets. When the orientation modules installed in guide tiles are touched by an RFID-equipped guide cane, the location-related information is emitted over earphones to provide users with audible directions.

Tip Tap Mat is a specially designed system that allows you to unlock doors with your feet. Pressure sensors under the mat detect your movements then transmit the data to the door’s lock. When the correct combination is entered, the door is unlocked. Tip Tap Mat can be operated by everyone and is ideal in situations where the user can unlock the door without having to put down shopping bags, making it a hassle free experience.

Henning Marxen, Keyphone

University: University of the Arts Bremen Keyphone seeks to make smartphones more accessible to blind people, while keeping the costs as low as possible. The shell of the Keyphone has 16 electrically conductive buttons that pass an electric charge from the touchscreen to the user’s hand, allowing for braille and other inputs. Unlike the bulk of blind smartphone concepts, Keyphone could be produced today with limited costs and also offer many more functions such as GPS guidance with voice output, or reading printed text aloud.

Empathy Bridge for Autism

Rez Infinite Synesthesia Suit

University: Royal College of Art Autism Empathy Tools enable you to experience the hyper and the hyposensitive visual, auditory, and vocal senses with which individuals with autism live. The tool is composed of three components: a VR cardboard box and specially designed app for smartphones that together reproduce autistic vision; earphones that emulate deafness and oversensitive hearing common to autism; and a disposable tongue-tying candy, which disturbs pronunciation. Although these tools can never fully emulate the autistic world, they serve as an accessible bridge toward a mutual understanding between autistic and non-autistic people.

University: Keio University Graduate School of Media Design Synesthesia Suit is designed to provide an immersive embodied experience in Virtual Reality environments. The suit has 24 vibrotactile channels that provide touch sensations, synchronised with music and interaction in the VR environment. These haptic sensations provide multisensory feedback unlike simple vibrations in traditional game controllers. Users feel immersed in a virtual world and enclosed by the texture of the sounds; test users have reported feeling that they have returned from another world after removing the suit.

Axiom Designed by: Ella Yuna Jeong, Ellie (Hyejin) Cho, Jonah (Cheng Che) Lu, Matthew Cadiz University: ArtCenter College of Design Axiom is a weight training system that directs athletes through different types of tactile feedback, by enacting the guiding gestures of a personal trainer. Textile sensors, EMG sensors, and haptic sensors are woven into the suitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s polyester spandex in order to detect the user's unique anatomical structure and biomechanics, muscle recruitment order, and movements. These activators then transfer data to the Axiom mobile app, allowing users to receive real-time feedback and review after the workout.

Haptic Engine (HE) was created to support interaction designers in designing rich haptic feedback. HE is a small low-cost module combining sensor, actuator and driver, which is connected to a web-based effect editor. The editor is a tool for designers to create, alter and tweak haptic sensations, by manipulating the signal parameters similar to how they would use graphic and video editors.

University: Keio University Graduate School of Media Design FOG PIXEL is an interactive installation that emits a stream of fog in a rectangular shape, creating a grid of fog “pixels”. Using steam as a medium for interaction design, FOG PIXEL introduces a method for controlling the fog stream’s movements in coordination with light and sound. Distance sensors detect the presence of people nearby, triggering fog streams, thus making it possible to create controlled steam for specific stage effects or to subtly mark out the perimeter of the stage.

Blendor is a tactile colour-mixing tool that encourages children to experiment with colour mixing in an enchanting, interactive and mess-free way. Children can easily learn about various proportions and mixtures of colours through pouring the digital coloured content from one Blendor into another, observing and adjusting the changes in shade and tone.

Puzzle Zoo is a game based on modular wooden pieces of nine pre-defined animals and one pre-defined human form, from here the pieces can be mixed and matched to create a huge range of hybrid creatures. The pieces’ silicone joints allow the free movement and articulation of each character’s body parts and hold them in the user’s chosen position. Puzzle Zoo aims to help the development of children’s fine motor skills and creativity.

MusicalTrain is an educational tool that teaches children the basics of music. The design is based on a modified toy train set produced by IKEA. Each coloured block on the train’s track has a different musical note which is read by the train’s cars. The reading is processed and the appropriate note is played through an MP3 player and speaker in the train. The musical effect is similar to a xylophone, allowing children to compose and learn music.

Kosme is an astronomy app for young students available in the Google Play store. While the user browses the sky looking for astronomical objects, stickers can be collected from the ones actually observed. All actions create entries in a journal, where notes can also be added. Kosme’s objective is to stimulate learning astronomy through personal observations on preferred subjects, which can be enhanced through expert knowledge when needed.

Little Traveller is a travel kit designed to develop a child's curiosity for the world around them. The materials included in the kit provide background information on the landscapes and cultures the child will encounter on holiday. Little Traveller a tool to easily teach children about new environments, while assisting and encouraging them to make and record their own observations. Through the bright colour scheme, modern design, and interactive products it is designed to excite children about the world around them.

Panic in the Arctic is an interactive children’s book that provides a novel alternative to traditional ways of teaching about electrical circuits. The first chapter of the book teaches the fundamentals of electrical circuits with many examples of electric devices. In the second chapter, children can design their own circuits, helping them to let loose their creativity by incorporating science with imagination; the circuits that the children themselves create make the stars shine and spaceships vibrate.

Algae Ocean Harvester is an algae-eating drone that cleans water and powers itself with biofuel produced from collected algae. The remote-controlled device functions somewhat like a vacuum, sucking up any algae directly in its path which can cause toxins, reduce nutrients and damage fish reproduction. The collected algae can then be used for biofuel production, fertilisers and health care products. Algae Ocean Harvester addresses an environmental problem by using algae biomass as a future natural resource.

Thrive is an entirely selfsustainable vehicle designed to survive in “non-infrastructure zones,” using piezoelectric fibre technology as well as inspiration from the living, breathing gill elements of sea creatures. The vehicle thrives on exposure to the elements by generating electrical energy from them so it can survive without the need to recharge or refuel. The materials that power it shape the aesthetic form and language of the vehicle, producing a natural aesthetic that reflects the territories the car is designed to explore.

Recandescent is an artificial light source that combines traditional incandescent lighting technology with innovative nano-technology to create the most energy efficient and holistically sustainable light bulb ever. Inspired by advances in hot mirror technology developed by academics at MIT, Recandescent proposes the application of this technology in a modular light bulb design supported by a circular economy business model. Recandescent is more energy efficient than existing LED technology; in addition, every component can be reused or recycled.

Trenc Water Saver is a simple appliance designed to reduce water consumption through household faucets. When placed at the end of the tap, it reduces the flow of water used, permitting the full intensity of flow only when the lever is pushed up. The product’s main goal is to provide a technologically simple, low cost and user-friendly way to save water.

MIITO is a kettle that is intelligently designed to heat the exact amount of water directly in the vessel of your choice, thereby avoiding the heating of excess water and saving electricity each time you prepare a cup of tea. The minimum fill line of the majority of kettles is at approximately 500ml. This means that if you want one cup of tea (250ml) you waste 50% of the hot water, and waste 50% of electric energy.

University: Anhui University of Technology Memory Paper Cups is a simple design that allows users to easily mark a disposable cup. Through this marking, which requires no pen and can be made with one’s finger nail, users can make sure that they don’t misplace their cups, end up drinking from someone else’s and waste paper cups unnecessarily.

University: L'École de design Nantes Atlantique Trybu is a packaging and branding design for a range of lactic bacteria-based snacks. These frozen dietary supplements are ready to eat thanks to a special reusable shaker. The modification of intestinal flora is a frequently overlooked public health problem that is at the root of numerous ailments. Lactic bacteria and yeasts must be included in our daily diet to provide sources of probiotics. Trybu offers an easy and attractive way to incorporate healthy bacteria into our daily diets.

Coffee as a Material

University: Royal College of Art

University: University of Guadalajara

Materialize.X is a new composite material made from biomass left over from the extraction process of algae-based biofuels. Materialize.X uses this biomass and turns it into building material that can be moulded, pressed or printed into any shape or size for a fraction of the price of existing bio-based materials. Materialize.X embodies a new approach to carbon neutral production in which a system’s by-products are fully exploited to achieve maximum value, efficiency and sustainability.

Biomaterials & Acoustics is the world’s first “silk violin”. As it is made from a composite material that includes silk and spiders’ silk, the violin’s acoustics can be customised. Biomaterials & Acoustics exploits the resonating properties of spiders’ silk by combining it with silk and a binding agent. The different fibres, combined with the project’s distinct method of mixing them together, enable the acoustics of any musical instrument to be customised, depending on the sound that is required.

Coffee as a Material makes new and innovative products using recycled coffee grounds. In response to the enormous waste generated by coffee drinking around the world, this project re-uses discarded grounds, treating them with resins such as Crystal and IPOXI to generate a new construction material that is heat resistant and aesthetically distinct.

University: Aalto University Not a Matter of Taste is a set of edible dishes made by combining bacterial grown cellulose with pettu, a nutritious flour made from pine bark. Pettu was frequently used in Finland as a flour substitute in baking during World War II. Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design and Architecture and School of Chemical Technology have come together to raise awareness about this nutritious, neglected ingredient and how pettu can be used as a base for edible, biodegradable vessels.

KOTO: Small House is a highly space efficient detached house designed for easy transport and construction. The house can be assembled at the factory then shipped to the site. All its features maximise the use of space: its unique sandwich wall is self-supporting and insulating, large windows allow natural light, a removable panel system makes the inner walls fully customisable and the engineering is hidden under the floor. A loft bed frees up space and room inside furniture is utilised for storage.

University: Aalto University Lusia is a portable picnic set for the urban lifestyle, designed to be manufactured in Finnish prisons. It is more versatile, safer and easier to use than conventional disposable grills. At the core of the design is safety and ease of use, while its construction also solves the difficulties with heat adjustment and cleaning that affect similar products. Lusia is easily transported in a matching bag that protects it and the user.

University: Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro Teres is a detachable sole that can be attached to three different styles of shoe. A simple but aesthetically striking zipper attaches the Teres sole to three different shoe tops, allowing the user to choose between sandals, ballet flats, or boots. Teres is designed to help shoemakers and customers save materials and space without reducing the variety of options available to them. The shoes fit easily inside a backpack or a bag, making them especially useful for travel.

University: Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), IED Milano Re-trash is a sustainable project designed for the rest areas of the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona. The project has two functions: to collect waste from the festival attendees and to reuse this waste as the padding inside temporary seats. Bottles and plastic cups used during the festival are collected in Re-trash’s PVC container, which, once full, is covered to provide a hexagonshaped pillow.
