Both are platforms for art and cultural development. Cultural Engineering’s latest collaboration with Emaar was to realise its vision of giving back to the community.The Kingdom Tower's numbers are impressive. The building itself will take a staggering $1.2 billion to build, "while the cost of the entire Kingdom City project is anticipated to be $20 billion," said AS+GG. The massive 3,280-foot spire will house a 5.7 million square feet (530,000 square meters) space and will beat the Burj by "at least 568 feet" (173 meter).
“The Pavilion will allow people to experience art, literature, dialogue and cuisine at one venue,” says Rashid Bin Shabib, co-director at Cultural Engineering and one of the two Shabib brothers behind this project. “We have been working with local creative institutions and individuals to make this happen, and thankfully the project is slowly becoming the city’s first non-commercial art and public space,” he adds. High ceilings and loft-style interiors stamp the term “arty” on the overall ambience.In the last few months The Pavilion’s galleries have showcased the work of several accomplished regional and international artists, including local light artist James Clar, Dutch sociologist and photographer Charlie Koolhaas and Iranian artist Laleh Khorramian. Its mission is to push preconceived boundaries of art and creativity in a bid to educate the people of Dubai and broaden their horizons. More info
