Arabian Performing Arts venue commended at MIPIM Architectural Review Future Projects Awards | Aedas | News & Events | 1/3/2008 | 1/3/2008

Aedas' Arabian Performaing Arts venue at the MIPIM Architectural Review Future Projects Awards was commended in the Mixed Use Category.

Surrounded by the desert sands and occupying its own island in the middle of a nature reserve, the Arabian Performance Venue is organically tied to both its context and its use. The venue is experienced through an entry sequence of surprise and discovery. The island is connected to the mainland via long span bridges for both vehicles and trains. Also approachable by boats, the entrances are cut into the mounded landscape to open into a water-filled cavity.
