Under the theme of Games: The Element of Play in Culture, Abwab celebrated the MENASA region’s diverse creative thinking.
Integrated into the walkways of Dubai Design District (d3), the Abwab pavilions were designed by Dubai-based architecture and design studio, Loci Architecture+Design using multiwall polycarbonate sheets partially filled with sand to mesmerizing effect.
