Following previous debates in Venice and Mumbai, this (third of four planned debates) North American installment of the Netherlands Architecture Institute’s "Debate on Tour" series will focus on the relation of short-stay visitors — via tourism or business — to the form, function, use and future of the cities of the Gulf. How do these places accommodate short stays? What parallels or differences emerge in comparison to the short-stay capital of the world, New York City?
The discussions that emerge from the four global debates will inform the forthcoming publication "Al Manakh 2: Export Gulf," a collaborative investigation into Gulf cities by the NAi, OMA-AMO, PinkTank (Dubai) and "Volume Magazine." Co-sponsored by the Netherlands Architecture Institute
