CONSERVATION AND REUSE OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE:

EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVES

UAE Modern aims at spreading awareness on the legacy of the achievements of modern architecture of the period comprised between the 1950s and the 1980s, when the UAE and their neighbor countries had to cope with the new challenges brought by their fast-economic growth.
