Mulhaq: On Annexed Architecture and Peripheral Typologies

This exhibition explores the quiet logic of annexed spaces and the peripheral architectures that shape everyday life across the Gulf. Through documentation, case studies, and spatial narratives, it reflects on how these overlooked structures mediate between privacy, family, and urban form.

The exhibition reflects ongoing research by Amer Madhoun, co-founder of Collectus Design & Architecture Studio, conducted as part of Bayt AlMamzar’s first design and architecture residency. Developed over nearly three years, the Mulhaq research residency has been conceived as a long-term process with outcomes that includes publications and the future renovation of BAM’s mulhaq (annex) as well as the exhibition itself.

This project is supported through the Modern Heritage Grant Program, an initiative by the UAE Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with Zayed University and Majra – National CSR Fund.

To 8 May.
