new ventures

recently at work i was approached by a recent Yale grad about helping him design/plan/execute the interior of his shop across the street. 
his products - furniture made from triple-thick cardboard. chairigami.com 
one less empty storefront for the city! updates will follow as the opening date draws nearer.

Um, this happened at work.

quite a dusty evolution

 Chronicling the expansion/explosion during a relatively short time (1940-now),

an exhibit at the Waqif Art Center gave me a new understanding of the city and

it's formation. It starts  from 0, or a small network of timber/sand structures, and ends with 80 story towers. There appears to be no middle-ground. The coastline is almost entirely dredged and manmade, curving to facilitate a "picturesque" corniche. hmm, not as much care given to infrastructure :(

I think the city is still searching for its identity and a way to cope with its rapid expansion.
