LAST CHANCE Robert Powers: The City in Its Details – The Past and Future in Dubai’s Architecture

A close look at Dubai’s urban fabric through the lens of architect and photographer Robert Powers. The exhibition traces the patterns and repetitions in architecture, streetscapes, industry, and infrastructure that shapes the character of a city; taken between 2013 and 2025 in Deira and Bur Dubai, the photographs document walkable parts of Dubai that have existed since the early days of the Union. Much of this older architecture may soon be demolished, as its value is often unrecognised – yet these buildings hold beauty, interest, and cultural significance, forming an essential part of the city’s history and collective memory.
