Library Circles: Azza Aboualam

The Jameel’s Library Circles is a series of research, talks, and experimental interventions by UAE practitioners that offers alternative research methodologies with a focus on ‘thinking in public’. For this iteration, Azza Aboualam – an Assistant Professor at Zayed University Dubai with an M.Arch from Yale – is displaying results of her investigations into the evolution of architectural typology within spiritual spaces in Sharjah and New York – notably, how architectural form shapes spiritual practice, with regional architectural elements. The project underscores the transcultural dialogue within the built environment, offering insights into the employment of architectural forms and considerations in mosque spaces across these landscapes.

To 25 November.
