Project Ibn Battuta Gate, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Located adjacent to the Ibn Battuta Mall at Jebel Ali in Dubai, this 200,000 square metres complex comprises offices, apartments and a five star Mövenpick hotel. Just like its namesake, the fourteenth-century Arabic world explorer Ibn Battuta, this Dubai hotel and office complex goes for excellence, not the easy way out. The five-star hotel offers 396 guestrooms, 156 furnished apartments, 15 themed suites and an extensive spa. The arch-shaped gate building connecting the two main buildings spans across a four-lane-road. Continued maintenance traffic over this road and the proximity of the operational mall meant that BAM International had a major challenge in keeping the immediate surroundings safe while construction took place up to a height of 60 metres. Location Jebel Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Client Seven Tides / Asteco Contractor BAM Higgs & Hill / Arabian Construction Company joint venture Contract period September 2005 – December 2009 Contract sum € 169 million ‘An iconic gate, larger than Paris’ Arc de Triomphe.’ January 2010 000412-204 June 2012 Scope of work Construction of a 396-room hotel, 156 furnished apartments and an 80,000 square metre office building. The contract included all related mechanical and electrical services, elevators, landscaping and interior fit-outs as well as the co-ordination of these activities. Key hotel features The hotel comprises an internal atrium with a ceiling height of 30 metres and a length of 93 metres. On top of the hotel, at the eighth and ninth floors, open-air swimming pools are available for the guests and residents. Seven themed restaurants, all facing the atrium, are located on the ground floor. In addition to the standard rooms, the hotel provides two royal suites and 13 executive suites. The gate building is a concrete-framed arch, which spans 36 metres at a height of 48 metres above ground and forms the link between the hotel and the office buildings. Through this arch runs a service corridor, while there is room at the top floor for a nightclub or restaurant. baminternational.com.

Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity
Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity Dubai’s hosting of the 2020 Expo further authenticates its status as an example of an emerging Arab city that displays modernity through sequences of fragmented urban- scapes, and introvert spaces. The 2020 Expo is expected to reinforce the image of Dubai as a city of hybrid architectures and new forms of urbanism, marked by technologically advanced infrastructural systems. This paper revisits Dubai’s spaces of the spectacle such as the Burj Khalifa and themed mega malls, to highlight the power of these spaces of repre- sentation in shaping Dubai’s image and identity. INTRODUCTION MOHAMED EL AMROUSI Initially, a port city with an Indo-Persian mercantile community, Dubai’s devel- Abu Dhabi University opment along the Creek or Khor Dubai shaped a unique form of city that is con- stantly reinventing itself. Its historic adobe courtyard houses, with traditional PAOLO CARATELLI wind towers-barjeel sprawling along the Dubai Creek have been fully restored Abu Dhabi University to become heritage houses and museums, while their essential architectural vocabulary has been dismembered and re-membered as a simulacra in high-end SADEKA SHAKOUR resorts such as Madinat Jumeirah, the Miraj Hotel and Bab Al-Shams. Dubai’s Abu Dhabi University interest to make headlines of the international media fostered major investment in an endless vocabulary of forms and fragments to create architectural specta- cles. Contemporary Dubai is experienced through symbolic imprints of multiple policies framed within an urban context to project an image of a city offers luxu- rious dreamscapes, assembled in discontinued urban centers.

DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Dubai | 2019 0 Dubai has developed into the retail hub of the Middle East and is the most sophisticated retail market in the region. The proliferation of retail development over the last ten years has led to Dubai having one of the highest retail to population densities in the world. It finished ahead of New York and London for shopping in TripAdvisor’s recently published second annual Cities Survey. Perhaps the best known of Dubai’s plentiful selection of retail malls is The Dubai Mall which is located in the heart of the prestigious Downtown Dubai and is one of the world’s most-visited retail and entertainment destination, having welcomed more than 80 million visitors annually over the last five years. Dubai Mall provides over 1,350 retail stores and over 200 food and beverage outlets, together with leisure and entertainment attractions. Its most recent expansion in 2017 provides connectivity to the attractions and amenities in the neighbouring Burj Khalifa. Other high- profile retail malls that dominate the retail market include Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Festival City. International retail brands are predominantly operated under license by ‘retail partners’ who hold licenses for multiple brands in their portfolios. These include groups such as Al Shaya, Landmark and Majid Al Futtaim. Often these retail operators can also be mall developers in their own right. These companies are very powerful in the retail sector and can make the difference between a new mall development securing attractive brands or struggling to attract the right brands and potential failure.

For Festivals/Events/Organizations Who Generated Publicity Through a Media Stunt to Promote Their Event/Cause Etc.)
Most Creative / Effective News Stunt (For Festivals/Events/Organizations who generated publicity through a media stunt to promote their event/cause etc.) 1. Overview Information: Please provide a detailed overview explaining the following, using no more than one (1) page to explain each section: a. Introduction & background of campaign / event “Eid in Dubai” was launched in 2008 by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), an agency of the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing in Dubai (DTCM). It came third in line in the portfolio of mega-events organized by DFRE, after the world renowned Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) in 1996, and Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) in 1998. While DSF aims at promoting Dubai as a shopping destination, and DSS promotes the emirate as a summer holiday destination, ‘Eid in Dubai’ was launched as a social/cultural celebration inspired by the values of the Islamic “Eid” which is celebrated by millions of Muslims around the world twice a year during Eid Al Fitr following Ramadan, the month of fasting, and Eid Al Adha, following the annual Hajj, or Pilgrimage. The “Eid in Dubai” campaign supported the concept of Dubai as a year-round destination by promoting Dubai as a destination of choice for tourists during the Eid holidays. The festival was built around the values traditionally associated with Eid, which is all about giving, sharing and togetherness along with the region’s deep-rooted hospitality and cultural traditions, including gift-giving among family and friends. DFRE embraces these values in all the events and festivities that are included in its “Eid in Dubai” activities.

Ibn Battuta Mall: Edutaining the World? Chae Ho Lee
IBN BATTUTA MALL: EDUTAINING THE WORLD? CHAE HO LEE University of Hawaii Lee, 104-125 ©Visible Language, 2010 Rhode Island School of Design Providence, Rhode Island 02903 ABSTRACT Nakheel, a Dubai World Company has created the world's largest themed mall based on the narra- tive of Ibn Battuta, a 14th century Muslim explorer whose world travels are well documented. The Ibn Battuta Mall is located in the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and utilizes a communication strategy called edutainment: a neologistic portman teau whose goals are to educate and entertain an audience. Through the use of diffusion theory and its five innovation attributes, this paper recognizes that the architects and designers of the Ibn Battuta Mall have placed edutainment goals into the con text of a mall expressing a predominantly Arab and Muslim identity. This paper argues that the mall has failed to achieve many of its educational goals and has replaced historical fact and authenticity in favor of expressing a message of opulence and social pres tige, which defines the mall as a place of commerce rather than a stimulating learning environment. 104 VIS IBLE LANGUAGE Exhibition design grew in meaningful complexity and social significance between 1950 to late 1970 partly due to the seminal work of Charles Ormand Eames (1907-1978) and Ray Kaiser Eames (1912-1988). Ray and Charles Eames produced exhibitions that began with displays for designed objects: Good Design at the Chicago Merchandise Mart (1950) and continued into thematic exhibitions such as The Textiles and Ornamental Arts of India (1955) and The World of Franklin and Jefferson (1975-1977).

Why Didn't China Discover the New World?
Social Education 77(2), pp 68–73 ©2013 National Council for the Social Studies The Economics of World History Why Didn’t China Discover the New World? Scott Wolla Mention China in any conversation and you are likely to hear a variety of concerns: up into a more global view. While this China’s growing economic and political power, the loss of American manufacturing is a necessary and positive change, some jobs due to trade with China, patent and copyright violations, and the level of U.S. social studies teachers may feel under- government debt held by China. prepared and hesitant to teach Eastern or Asian history. One way to overcome this hesitancy about broadening curriculum is to seek out a broader range of expertise. Economics Can Enliven a History Lesson The fields of history and economics Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons coexist in an environment of mutual respect and occasional encounters; unfortunately, truly interdisciplinary curricula in these fields are hard to come by. Economics can add an interesting dimension to history instruction. When teachers attempt to integrate economics into history instruction, they often do so by including a nation’s GDP or a discus- sion of the effects of inflation or poverty on political revolutions. While this is important, it only scratches the surface of what meaningful interdisciplinary social studies education can be. Teachers This modern model of Ming Dynasty treasure ships as compared to one of Columbus's ships was on display in the China Court of the Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai, 2006. The purported size of the Ming can strengthen lessons by incorporating ships, however, is strongly disputed by maritime historians.
