The MFA.DESIGN Stand at the Design Days Dubai 2015...

A few images from our MFA.DESIGN stand at the recently concluded Design Days Dubai...

A visit to AlSerkal Avenue, Dubai...

A few images from a recent visit to the Alserkal Avenue in Dubai's industrial area... The avenue is somewhat challenging to find, but it's certainly worth the effort...

It would be nice to see a comparable initiative and courage be applied in Doha as well... Perhaps the Fire-station will be a first step...

Q-Pop Exhibition at Design Days Dubai, March 17 - 21, 2014…

Next week, a few colleagues, Graduate Program alumni, and I, will be exhibiting at the Design Days Dubai, which takes place between March 17 - 21, 2014.

Our stand/ exhibit is called 'Q-Pop' (a contextualized rendition of 'K-Pop' or 'J-Pop', terms representing very particularized genres of Korean and Japanese popular culture). Along with providing a contextualized take of design work conceived and mainly realized in Qatar, the logo above also represents the potpourri of work we plan to exhibit (the logo was designed by Jordan Gushwa)…

Good times…
