DESIGN MIDDLE EAST
|
MARCH 2021
T
his March we have double reason to celebrate as we have two big events lined-up, Design Forum and Architecture Leaders Awards 2021 to be held on March 31. We are super excited and want your love and support like always. March cover is graced by Jamel Salem, DLR’s Middle East Regional Director as he talks in-depth about his professional journey, challenges, and market trends. What an inspiring and influential personality, and we are glad to have this conversation with him. Moving on, this month’s project is a unique concept of cycling warehouse and cafe by Niu, called Pedal. A must-visit! There’s a new appointment in the industry, Darryl Custer joins as Executive Director at KEO and we discussed his plans and future goals as he takes up this senior role.
