Take a Sneak Peek Inside Dubai’s Leading Architecture Studios
A photographer's tour of 17 Dubai architecture studios reveals how the city's firms occupy new purpose-built spaces rather than the converted heritage buildings that define creative quarters elsewhere.
As part of a series, photographer Marc Goodwin of Archmospheres visited the Dubai offices of 17 architecture studios. Unlike in other cities – including Shanghai, London and Barcelona – there are an abundance of new office spaces for studios to choose from but few historic buildings.
