for dubai design week 2017, boano prišmontas + ricardas blazukas illustrates the recent history of the middle east through floating architectural forms. meaning the ‘one’s who returns’ in arabic culture, the temporary installation, ‘aidah’, pinpoints a time, 50 years ago to the present day, when the region boomed with an economy based on oil and where their cities rapidly rose from the deserts. this targets what the designers call ‘an inflated reality’ and aims to create a visual dialogue about the area’s long term future, specifically in terms of sustainability. more to know: https://www.designboom.com/architecture/boano-prismontas-ricardas-blazukas-aidah-dubai-design-week-11-20-2017/?utm_source=designboom+news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=black+balloons+depict
