H+A’s plan for Downtown Design
With the theme ‘Livable Cities,’ their vision will illuminate the human experience.
Award-winning architects H+A will design the Downtown Design 2018 masterplan and aesthetic, placing emphasis on the human experience.
In November, Downtown Design will once again take place in its custom-built venue on the d3 Waterfront, within Dubai Design District (d3). For 2018, the fair will have a focus on the theme ‘Livable Cities’ and emphasise the luxurious yet functional approach to design. New fair features will include creative pop-up cafes, a multi-functional indoor recreational garden space with enhanced outdoor features and an engaging and interactive materials library within a pavilion.
