Dubai: Heriot-Watt University Dubai will host an interactive digital showcase during Dubai Design Week next month that will feature the work of undergraduate students of architecture. Titled “Living Lattice: Reimagining Living in the City” – the theme of the exhibition has been conceived in response to the sudden change in people’s lives brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the overall focus of Dubai Design Week is on redefining and reimagining the way people will live in the near and distant future, the theme for Heriot-Watt’s architecture showcase has been chosen accordingly. Curated by Dr Harpreet Seth, Associate Professor of Architecture and Manupriam S, Founder of Urban Sketchers Dubai, the six-day showcase will illustrate innovative solutions proposed by 25 third year students enrolled on the BA (Hons) Architecture programme at Heriot-Watt University Dubai, a RIBA Part 1 candidate course.
