Description
Dubai is a city that has become the center of discussion and discourse across the globe as the post 20th century city and urban model. The international architectural / urban competition, Du(b)ailities: Supra_global_culture / micro_ethnic_localities, aims at intensifying and enriching this exchange to participate and present visions, concepts and proposals for Dubai. By doing this, the city and its inhabitants will have the chance to participate and discuss ideas about their city and benefit from the presented proposals.

Two categories are set for competitors to select:
- Supra global culture: large-scale visions
With an anticipated growth of 8% over the next six years, a population which will reach 2 million inhabitants and with 10 million tourists per year by 2010, Dubai’s unique growth calls for large-scale urban visions with specific urban, social and architectural attributes going beyond the ongoing delivery of projects.
- Micro ethnic localities: small-scale interventions
It is seeking the design of Points of Exchange as proposals to create a living record of Dubai, trace its contemporary memory and participate in its future history. Outline of activities envisaged in the Info Points of Exchange are: Points of Exchange – multiple recording studios (100 sq.m.), Interactive wall – external space / billboard for audio and video transmission (vertical area of 20-80 sq. m.), Indoors lounge area (80 sq.m.), Outdoors lounge area (defined by the competitor), Broadcasting studios (45 sq.m.), Press area (30 sq.m.), Storeroom, Toilet facilities.
