Marking the 40th anniversary of the United Arab Emirates by celebrating its unique collective architecture; featuring innovative constructions that are both cutting-edge and awe-inspring.
Superlative Emirates features over fifty incredible urban design projects, the work of some of the most respected architects within the United Arab Emirates. Futuristic cities that rise up out of the desert, oases of steel and glass that connect water and sand, unmistakable skylines that reach ever higher, these are technically brilliant constructions that reflect the economic prosperity and excitement of a new and emerging Arab culture. From sleek skyscrapers to carbon-neutral residential living space, museums and hotels, this is architecture that creates both a sense of awe and balance with the natural environment, reflecting a culture that is no longer just about oil but is actively exploring new technology, renewable energy and the impact these have on creating sustainable futures within challenging urban landscapes.
