Sharjah prepares for inaugural Architecture Triennial in November
Sharjah Architecture Triennial to address climate issues
The inaugural Sharjah Architecture Triennial is set to begin on November 9, 2023. This event, designated by UNESCO as the cultural capital of the Arab World, will focus on the theme “Rights of Future Generations.” It aims to explore the global climate crisis through architectural perspectives and the intergenerational relationship regarding urbanism. The Triennial is expected to attract architecture enthusiasts and professionals from around the world.
Emerging design destinations gaining attention
As the year approaches its end, several lesser-known design hubs are emerging on the global stage. Alongside Sharjah, cities like Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Canberra, Australia, are also hosting significant design events. Belfast Design Week will start on November 4, featuring talks and workshops, while the Design Canberra Festival will run from November 4 to 24. These events are part of a broader trend encouraging exploration of unique design destinations.
Visitors to Sharjah should note that alcohol is prohibited, which may influence travel plans for those wishing to enjoy nightlife. The proximity of Dubai offers an alternative for those seeking a more relaxed evening atmosphere.
