Al Seef Promenade
Nearly two kilometres of Dubai Creek waterfront split in two — a re-aged heritage village on one side, glass-and-steel pavilions on the other.
Dubai
Al Wasl Plaza Dome
A 130-metre steel trellis dome at the heart of Expo City — the world's largest 360-degree projection surface, glowing translucent at night.
Alif — The Mobility Pavilion
Foster + Partners' gleaming stainless-steel trefoil, with three cantilevered petals and the world's largest passenger lift.
Apple Store Solar Wings
A Foster + Partners kinetic mashrabiya of 340 carbon-fibre rods that open at dusk toward the Burj Khalifa.
Chinatown, The Dubai Mall
The UAE's first Chinatown — a designed immersive district of moon gates, lantern streets and neon, by Kokaistudios.
Concrete by OMA
Rem Koolhaas's first building in the UAE — four warehouses fused into a shape-shifting arts space with pivoting walls and a sprayed-concrete skin.
The Waterfall (Human Waterfall)
A four-storey indoor cascade of diving figures — Dubai's pearl-diving past, cast in fibreglass and falling water.
Treasury Dome, Gold Souk
A 25-metre projection dome that crowns the world's largest indoor gold souk with ever-changing multimedia.
