AKDN’s activities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) centre around education, culture and the arts. We work in partnership with several organisations in the UAE, including Dubai Cares, Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism, and Art Dubai.
The best architecture teaches us to engage with Nature respectfully; not by conquering or subduing it, nor by isolating ourselves away from it. Our host country, the United Arab Emirates, itself offers impressive examples of integrating well the natural and the human environments.
