Call for Entries: Urban Commissions 4.0

The fourth edition of Urban Commissions invites designers living in the UAE to design an urban water feature that can be placed in the outdoor arena of Dubai Design District (d3)

Dubai is synonymous with water; the shoreline that extends along the length of the city, the Dubai Creek, the mammoth Dubai Water Canal project, the Dubai Fountains. Moreover, regional architecture hosts water features as central elements in courtyards of homes, acting as a spiritual refuge. These features cool the air around them and enhance the physical and audio landscapes, with serenity only natural elements command.
