Majlis & The Manama (Wind Catchers) Pavilion / Ahmed and Rashid Bin Shabib

Reinterpreting Vernacular Gulf Architecture as a Living Scaffold for the Future – The Majlis & The Manama (Wind Catchers) pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice presents a powerful reimagining of Gulf vernacular intelligence. Anchored in personal memory and regional tradition, the pavilion draws from the architectural archetypes of the Majlis and Manama to propose a contemporary structure that breathes, hosts, and remembers. Supported by Expo City Dubai.
