In dieser Angelegenheit
The UAE’s a trendsetter in the region for many industry’s but most noticeable has been its bold vision for the transformation of its architecture; transitioning buildings of the past into modern works of art and sustainable landscapes of the future!
UAE cities are in a unique position, they’re not bound by centuries old buildings or streetscapes meaning they can create purposeful and functional buildings and urban spaces that meet and anticipate the needs of its citizens and residents. Abu Dhabi has paved the way in this respect by placing nature at the heart of its city plans, opening its first urban forest, Al Fay Park, earlier this year.
According to research group the Tree Urbanistas, “it is only through re-establishing contact with the natural world, particularly trees, that cities will be able to function, be viable and able to support their populations,” in the future.
Writing about Urban Forests in The Conversation, Alan Simson, professor of Landscape Architecture and Urban Forestry at Leeds Beckett University in the UK, explains: “the urban forest needs to be designed as a first principle, part of the critical infrastructure of the whole city, not just as a cosmetic afterthought.” And Al Fay Park architects SLA would agree. In our cover story interview, we speak to SLA design principal, partner and co-owner, Rasmus Astrup about the Middle East’s first urban forest and why he thinks Al Fay Park and others like it will be the solution to the biodiversity crisis.
With a focus on local sustainable projects in this issue, we feature the unintentional street gardens of the UAE that are sustaining communities and ecosystems alike, as well as more contemporary master planned garden projects.
Enjoy the issue!
