🎉 Congratulations to our Architecture student Arian Saghafifar for his recent nomination to the 2019 RIBA President’s Medal, the most prestigious Bronze Medal. . The Royal Institute of British Architects' President's Medals, which began in 1836, is the longest-running awards in architectural education in the world. It is annually presented to recognise excellent design projects from invited schools of Architecture. Under the mentorship of Professor Gregory Watson, Arian developed a project situated in Deira, Dubai. The transition from the dense morphological city to private spaces was in focus with the intent to blur the boundaries between private and public. #caadaus #caadwork #arc301 #caadstudents #architecture #MENAarchitecture #Deira #Dubai #dubaiarchitecture #architecturestudents #RIBA #RIBAawards2019 #BronzeMedal #designschool #designstudents #designeducation #publicspaces #transition

📚 A Book From the Library of: Professor Riem Ibrahim. This book is a compilation of selected work by the brilliant Egyptian illustrator and designer Mohie Al-Din Al Labbad. Al Labbad worked and published his work in popular Egyptian magazines such as Rose al-Youssef and Sabah al-Kheir in the late 60s and 70s and was celebrated as one of the most accomplished and provocative designers in the region- his work being nothing short of a national treasure. From illustrations, graphic artwork, caricatures, to critical commentary on the socio-political and economic scenery in Egypt and the Arab world, this book is a thrill to read and to look at. It presents an engaged, relevant and critical designer- someone we can all learn from. 10/10 ⭐ #caadaus #caadfaculty #Arabicbooks #illustration #graphicdesign #Egypt #Allabbad #BookRecommendations #arabdesigners #arabhistory #arabictypography #library #arabiclibrary

#caadcourses: 🙋 Introductory Techniques to Material Fabrication with Professor Daniel Chavez is underway as the students play a game of see-saw; see the blade, saw the wood. This class is an exciting start to going beyond the digital/on paper realm of furniture design into physical reality! The thrilling journey of woodworking to create innovative, yet functional designs allow the students to broaden their visual and dimensional perceptions as well as strengthen their foundations for their other coursework. . . . #caadaus #caadlabs #materialfabrication #woodshop #seesaw #furnituredesign #woodwork

#caadevents: In collaboration with the Sharjah Museums Authority, CAAD students took part in a hands-on workshop exploring ‘T-Serai’ (Textile Systems for Engagement and Research in Artistic Impact) textile design with Bosnian Austrian artist, Dr. Azra Aksamija. An architectural historian and Director of the Future Heritage Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Aksamiya introduced design students to her work which addresses the politics of identity and memory on the scale of the body (clothing and wearable technologies), on the civic scale (religious architecture and cultural institutions) and within the context of history and global cultural flows. In the workshop, students used sewing machines and scissors to practice the artist’s ‘reverse appliqué/slashing technique. Their textile creations will be part of an installation using sustainable and recycled materials from campus. The exhibition is open on weekdays from 8am to 8pm, and 4pm to 8pm on Fridays, until December 7 at the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization. #caadaus #designworkshops #sustainability #textile #sewing #installation #sharjahmuseum #recycling #materials #research #designcollaboration #handmade #MIT #makersgonnamake #ausharjah #uae #sharjah #impact #shelters #designexhibition

#caadcourses: As part of ARC 393, CAAD students in Spain visited the historical city of Figueres, home of artist Salvador Dali. After visiting the Dali museum, a building designed by the surrealist artist himself to specifically cater to his art, the students were challenged to think about their studio projects in a new perspective. 👣 Follow there footsteps through the ruins! @caadalonia #caadaus #caadarc #architecture #designlife #design #designeducation #spain #dali #barcelona #catalonia #surralism #museums

This Way! is the title of a new exhibition curated by our faculty Marian Misiak + Scenography by Sümeyye and Frederic Gmeiner. The exhibition is part of Weltformat Graphic Design Festival (@weltformat) in Lucerne, Switzerland and runs till October 6th, 2019. The project This Way! examines the history and meaning of signposts and direction indicators. Historical developments as well as today’s ways of application are explored. It looks at the phenomenon of the arrow as a means of visual communication that permeates our everyday lives and analyses its complex symbolism- all the way from the cursor on your screen to the arrow as a love symbol in Amor's Bow. #caadaus #caadfaculty #caadwork #arrows #symbols #signage #signposts #designlife #designer #weltformat #Luzern #Switzerland #weltformatfestival #graphicdesign #designfestival #typography #exhibition #scenography
