Our Gulf chapter will deliver a dynamic, multifaceted exhibition and event series during Dubai Design Week at D3 Building 6 Atrium, continuing the momentum of our previous successful showcases in the same venue. This year's exhibition will include our Middle East Awards, FA Student Awards, and Chartered Practices projects which outlines a comprehensive programme aligned with the UAE’s 2025 'Year of community' celebrating architectural excellence and fostering professional and student engagement across the region.
This live and interactive session will also guide you through key entry requirements, Dubai Design Week activities, and provide you with practical advice to help you prepare for a successful entry. We strongly welcome you to ask any specific questions you might have relating to your own submission.
