- Emirates Palace Exhibition
We went to Emirates Palace last Thursday for an exhibition for Al-Saa’diyyat Cultural District projects, focusing on the 4 main projects designed by Gehry, Hadid, Ando, and Nouvel. I think today is the last day for the exhibition, so..
Honestly I can’t make up a word for what’s going on there, it’s a great thing to [...]

And here I’ve been for a year now! I’d like to start a new year on this journal the same way I started the past one, Salam Alaikom! Thanks to all of those who read me here.
- Start
2 Weeks ago I went on a site visit to my graduation project’s site. It was a bit of a ‘disappointment’; it was built. See on Google Earth it was as clean as a sheet of paper! So much for a natural growth. (Not that the project is going to be built, it’s just to [...]

I did find a couple of parts to be over describing, but the plot, the twist, the tragedy, homeland! The narrator character is amazingly describing a man! At some points I thought is [...]

I just came back from my weekly meeting with Mr. Yousef Dweik. In short, it was both boring and amazing; boring because I’ve been mixing watercolor and Acrylics since last night I’m dreaming of the stationery shop (true) and seeing spots (also true), and hopefully not, sleeping on the pigments I’ve [...]
