have a wonderful summer!
I was about to cancel this class because I couldn’t go to Abu Dhabi. I really did’t like the idea of teaching this class online, because all the fun part of teaching is to be there when students are working on their projects. I’m really glad I didn’t cancel it and I met all of…

something i found interesting
I never noticed places in the UAE trying to be sustainable and eco friendly until recently when twice in one day I came across a product that will help instead of harm the planet. First, Virgin Megastore’s biodegradable bags. They worked towards creating something that is natural and nontoxic to humans and animals as well…

final project reflection
Looking back at the idea of our final project I realized how effective an idea it can be if implemented in places that require assistance with their light source. The use of plastic to benefit and help the public is a great way to reuse plastic and this final project was just one idea that…

I went to the Louvre this afternoon and was able to see so many examples of some of the materials that Kevin discussed, along with many others that I just wanted…
Hassan: Reflection on Final Project

And this final project was a very hands on cumulation of many of the facts and motives that I have gained throughout the course. We…

Ali – Caught red handed journal post
This art installation represents the state of beaches in the UAE. Completely made out of actual trash collected in Saadiyat, aiming to provide a contrast between the beauty that can be achieved when using the beach responsibly, and the hideous outcome humans have inflicted on our oceans. This art piece is inspired by the hotels’…
