INTRODUCING DUBAILAND FOREWORD:
FOREWORD
The study critically examines the current most ambitious world tourist destinations currently developed in Dubailand, tracing its naive theme parks tactics back to Las Vegas and Disneyland. These entertainment destinations offer a simulated paradise, an idealized vision of the world. They are generally segragated from the local conditions, solipsistic, eroding the economic opportunities of the locals and bringing unfavourable impact on host communities.
008
We are looking to offer an alternative model for development ,which will have more positive impact on the local communities, sustaining the well being of the local people , alleviate poor communities and conserving the environment. We hope that this study will be very helpul for Least Developed Countries, which have the most urgent need of general rise of the living standard but are at least able to realize how to achieve it.

Exhibition as part of the Sofia Architecture Week (SAW) Sustainable strategies for the integration of informal peripheral settlements in Bulgaria and Europe. Open House (15. – 22. 10. 2010) Exhibition organized by Nina Ilieva – ADAPTations_EUS (NY/Sofia) in collaboration with Kai Voeckler – Archis Interventions (Berlin), Catalin Berescu – FRONTAL (Bucharest), David Bergman – MR+E (LA), Ersela Kripa and Stephen Mueller – AGENCY (NY), Selva Gürdoğana and Gregers Tang Thomsen – SUPERPOOL (Istanbul) The exhibition concieved by ADAPTations_EUS ltd,was curated by SAW-Open house curator fordewind architecture ltd ( Ephgenia Hodkevitch & Boris Enev). Theme of the Sofia Architecture Week 2010 is »BEING PERIPHERAL«.believe that the major issue when addressing the theme or nature of “periphery” is the situation of the Roma population. Our research showed that almost 800.000 Bulgarian citizens are Roma while the total Roma population of Europe is 12 million; Roma are hence the largest ethnic minority in Europe. Yet neither the Bulgarian government nor the European Union is making a serious effort to promote and facilitate their rights to equality and a dignified existence. The presented investigation made by ADAPTations_EUS in collaboration with FRONTAL and Archis Interventions focuses primarily on “Fakulteta”, one of Bulgaria’s biggest Romani neighbourhoods, located on 180 hectares on the western outskirts of Sofia, and home to an estimated 40,000 people. Most buildings there were built without a construction permit and lack basic amenities, a part of the area, named Cambodia, being a real slum. This is often the case with numerous Roma communities around Europe, both in historically inherited situations in the East or in improvised illegal migrant camps in the West. The exhibition presents examples of both situations in order to situate Fakulteta in an European context. However, examples of positive strategic developments in Los Angeles, Rome and Diarbekir presented by MR+E, AGENCY and SUPERPOOL demonstrate new potential for the successful re-urbanisation and social integration of restless peripheral neighbourhoods.
