Elias & Yousef Anastas, AAUANASTAS

Elias and Yousef Anastas (AAU ANASTAS) are architects and designers from Palestine. Their work explores a new frontier for building, where the essence of a space is characterised by the unexpected outcomes of combining innovative techniques with local craftsmanship.

While We Wait – a meditative installation made of over 500 modules of stone from Palestine — was commissioned by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and was previously on display during London Design Festival 2017. The installation has been brought to Dubai as a collaboration between Concrete and the V&A. While We Wait can be seen at Concrete in Alserkal Avenue from 6 – 18 November, before it moves to the Cremisan Valley, where it will represent a celebration of the relationship between nature and architecture in the context of the Palestinian landscape.

This is the second work by the duo in Dubai, the first was the Palestine Pavilion for Abwab 2016 – ‘Mass Imperfections’ which can be visited in the entrance of building 8, Dubai Design District (d3).
