I stayed in Dubai and slept in the wonderful Burj-al-arab, you will find inside this book marvelous pictures and the most important projects that are helding in Dubai now and in the immediate future.
Strongly recommended for all the people interested in design!

Good idea, but didn't introduce by high quality professional photos, images, graphics. I dissapointed very much

I have watched Dubai evolve from an ancient middle eastern desert State to the most talked about architectually unique and cutting edge communities on the planet, where architectural creativity has no limits imposed. I purchased this book as a gift for an outstanding architect and he was captivated and inspired.
If you want to inspire the creative genius in anyone, of any profession, this story of the recent evolution of Dubai through architecture would be a perfect choice.

Dubai is the hub of the modern Middle East: a growing city sporting the world's largest luxury hotel and more, but it's important to note that DUBAI: ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN is the first book published solely on its architecture and design. Any interested in Middle Eastern culture and arts should have this, from college-level art libraries to specialty collection on the Mid East: it charts the roots of modern Middle Eastern design, pairing full-page color photos with insights on architectural achievement and history. While it's a specialty item, its importance is unsurpassed for such holdings.
