You know you have been in Dubai a long time when the projects or the buildings you have designed or were involved with have been demolished and replaced.
Equally, when the projects’ lead Consultants have gone through global mergers, acquisitions, name changes and re-branding or all the above, at least once. In a rapidly expanding City like Dubai, infrastructure and public realm often go through a necessary upgrade after 15 or 20 years. New destinations and larger developments require substantial road widening and increased utility networks capacity.
I have been encouraged by colleagues and friends who have read my March article, to carry on writing in the same vein and to prepare a follow-up part two on the same subject. I have therefore, re-visited two other previous projects to continue to reflect on how sustainable they have proved to be, a decade or more since they were designed, and to draw useful conclusions for potential improvements.
Project no.1: Interchange no.1 on sheikh Zayed Road
Design: 2006 – Landscape construction: 2016
