The Courtyard
The glasses and steel barrel vault of this art and cultural centre in Al Quoz is easily distinguished. This unique building houses a variety of outlets, including furniture and antiques, artists’ studios, photographic studios, media and advertising companies, hotel supplies, restaurant accessories and a coffee shop.Exhibitions are held on a regular basis in several art galleries within the centre.However, the main attraction must be the Courtyard itself. The main cobbled area, accessed by a wrought Iron Gate, is completely surrounded by outlets, each with a different façade combining a variety of building styles from around the world. Examples include the interpretation of an Islamic entranceway, a Moorish and Spanish inspired façade, the use of a traditional UAE fort, a Greco-Roman entrance, access to an Egyptian tomb, a crumbled stone house, façade of a traditional wind-tower house in Dubai, and a façade in shape of warship out of a Hollywood movie, made from various parts of ship wrecks, etc.All provide great photo opportunities and make the trek from the centre of town well worthwhile.The area is the brainchild of Dariush Zandi architect, photographer, writer and designer who has his own gallery, called Total Arts, and a photographic studio known as Total Design at the Courtyard.
