Local Cultures in Global Settings

Description

Dubai and the gulf are foremost expressions of the new global setng, a synthesis of the multcultural nature of which it is made up. How then, multculturalism infuences the context and how, in turn, the single cultural identtes are infuenced by the context? Should we look at this com-penetraton to capture the very nature of the transformatons that occur in fast emerging countries? Can design generate new meaning by unweaving the threads that in the past intertwined individual cultures, locally available resources, and technical knowledge, and by reassembling them in a process that incorporates current societal needs, knowledge, and new technologies?
The invited speakers will share their achievements and will discuss on the challenges, constraints and opportunites that can unfold from an inclusive approach that allows the local and the global to nurture each other.
