Dubai is a city that has become the center of discussion and discourse across the globe as the post 20th century city and urban model. The international architectural / urban competition, Du(b)ailities: Supra_global_culture / icro_ethnic_localities, aims at intensifying and enriching this exchange by inviting young architects and students of architecture from the UAE and across the world to participate and present visions, concepts and proposals for Dubai. By doing this, the city and its inhabitants, will have the chance to be exposed to views about their city and benefit from the presented pro
posals.
The competition offers its participants two separate challenges: one for the larger city scale and the other for a smaller urban area. Solutions for both categories will create the basis of real proposals and possibilities for the city.
An international jury of professionals and educators will be drawn to assess the work, and award three prizes and an honorable mention for each of the two categories. The outcome of the competition will be exhibited, published, and shared with the international community, local universities and local authorities.
Deadline of submission : 10 January 2009
