The image above shows the situation of Abu Dhabi, U.A.E in a large geographical context. From 23rd Jun I have been living in Abu Dhabi City Centre, my return to the U.K is expected to be 12th Sep before I begin my third year at Kingston University later on in the month. Hopefully I start work with a built-environment engineering and design company called AECOM as a landscape architect intern shortly. In the meantime I have been exploring some sites that I have particular interest in. Below, a map enables you to identify the location of sites that I have enjoyed experiencing. Most of which, are within a catchment area of three miles from the apartment that I stay at. Take into consideration that the temperature and humidity levels in U.A.E are extremely high regardless of the time of day. In addition, use of public transport requires allot of effort, very very few drivers have the ability to speak English making my seemingly interesting exploration feel slightly unpleasant and long at times. On the other hand I have an oppurtunity to see some unparallel and unique architectural projects far from the U.K. All informed by a range of dissimilar conditions and processes which are set forth by nature and most prominently, man (their culture & religion).
