In this innovative workshop, participants designed a space pod in our interactive architectural workshop, inspired by the UAE's National Space Strategy and astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi's mission!

Inspired by the UAE's National Space Strategy and astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi's mission. Participants worked in groups and designed a versatile 1 m3 pod for work and relaxation in zero-gravity conditions. This pod must work in two positions, requiring careful planning for daylight. Teams brainstormed, explored construction methods, and selected materials to seamlessly integrate structure, daylight, and human comfort. The workshop culminated in design proposals presented through sketches, models, photos, or videos.

RIBA Gulf Chapter:

The RIBA Gulf Chapter supports members across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states including the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Sultanate of Oman. The Chapter has been created to promote design excellence in the delivery of architecture in the Gulf. It is actively engaged with a very significant and diverse number of RIBA and non-RIBA practitioners, to recognise and celebrate the diversity and local culture of members and co-professionals working in the Gulf.
