DUBAI, UAE – January 21, 2020 — CallisonRTKL’s Designers Adam Naeem, Nishita Vinodrai and Maram Kassab from the Dubai office shared their experience using Sketchup as part of “Bringing Ideas to Light” — a full-day Dubai Design Week conference that showcases the best in 3D visualization.
In addition, Sketchup and the Chaos Group hosted a panel to discuss how Dubai’s 2020 Expo impacts sustainability, efficiency and design. The panel featured CRTKL’s David Weir-McCall who discussed his predictions on the opportunities for digital design innovation in the coming year.
“CallisonRTKL Dubai has been quite fortunate to work on large-scale, dynamic projects in some of the most challenging locations,” he says. “With this complexity, there lays ample opportunity to digitally innovate and disrupt the AEC industry. Through digital innovation and experimentation within our office, we have been able to substantially enhance our internal design processes, as well as our design deliverables through various cutting-edge presentation techniques and deliverables.”
Dubai Design Week, held last November, is the largest creative festival in the Middle East, reflecting Dubai’s position as the regional capital of design. The six-day program covers a range of design disciplines including architecture, product design, interiors, multimedia and graphic design, with the majority of events being free to attend and accessible for both industry and public.
Dubai Design Week serves as an accessible meeting point for the global design community, a platform for regional design and acts as a catalyst for the growth of the creative community in Dubai and the UAE.
