His Excellency Hani Al Hamli Secretary General Dubai Economic Council (DEC) H.E. Hani Rashid Al Hamli is the Secretary General of the Dubai Economic Council (DEC) since 2006. The Council envisioned acting as the strategic partner for the Government of Dubai in economic-decision making. It provides policy recommendations and initiatives that enhance the sustainable economic development in the Emirate of Dubai. Prior to his service at DEC, Mr. Al Hamli held a number of senior positions in various government and private entities in Dubai such as the Executive Council-Government of Dubai, Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Investment & Development Authority, and Emirates Bank Group. Under his management of the DEC Secretariat, Mr. Al Hamli has realized many achievements for the DEC, notably the establishment of Dubai Competitiveness Center (DCC) in 2008, and the DEC has embraced the stated center from 2008-2013. Additionally, he initiated the “clusters development” and “macroeconomic modelling” for Dubai’s economy. Moreover, Al Hamli has restructured the DEC Secretariat and established two affiliates that form together the think tank of the Council. Those include: the Economic Policy & Research Center (EPRC) and the Legal Affairs & Research Center (LARC). Most recently, Al Hamli created “Driving Innovation Spirit for Dubai” initiative in partnership with Royal Philips aimed at enhancing the concept of innovation in the U.A.E. and strengthen the institutional capacities of Dubai’s businesses. Al Hamli strongly believes in the vital role of the strategic partnerships and alliances with local and international entities in order to exchange knowledge, advice and expertise in various issues. This vision has been translated into practical steps when the DEC has collaborated with a large number of governmental entities at both federal and local levels, world’s leading think tanks; and top companies from China to the North America. These collaborations are inclusive of enhanced coordination and unified visions in many areas of common interest. China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), and the U.S. Ex-Im Bank are among those entities that the DEC linked in partnership projects with. Coupled with above, Al Hamli believes in knowledge accumulation aiming at materializing the UAE vision 2021 which envisages development of a knowledge-based economy. To this end, he sought to deploy the potentials of the DEC’s experts in developing policy proposals and initiatives in order to reach the best results in the context of economic decision-making, both at the local and federal levels. Indeed, the DEC Secretariat General has conducted in-depth researches along with publications of reports, international books and numerous working papers.

    mashreq Fixed Income Trading Daily Market Update Sunday, January 17, 2015 Quote of the Day "Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants." (Epictetus) Market Update Iran sanctions lifted after IAEA confirms compliance with the nuclear deal, US firms set to miss out as US sanctions remain International sanctions on Iran have been lifted after IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog confirmed the country had complied with a deal designed to prevent it developing nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency concluded that the Islamic Republic had curbed its ability to develop an atomic weapon as required under an accord with world powers. The US and five other nations agreed in July’s accord to lift sanctions on Iran “simultaneously with the IAEA-verified implementation” of the deal. “Iran has undertaken significant steps that many people doubted would ever come to pass,” clearing the way for sanctions to end, US Secretary of State John Kerry said in Vienna late on Saturday after Iran’s compliance with the agreement was certified. Still, he said the accord “doesn’t wipe away all of the concerns” of the international community, and “verification remains, as it always has been, the backbone of this agreement." The EU foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said the deal would contribute to improved regional and international peace and security. “Relations between Iran and the IAEA now enter a new phase. It is an important day for the international community,” Yukiya Amano, director general of the agency, said in a statement. “This paves the way for the IAEA to begin verifying and monitoring Iran’s nuclear-related commitments.” Ahead of the announcement Iran freed four Iranian-Americans as part of a prisoner exchange with the US that had been negotiated in secret for more than a year.

  • PULSATION in ARCHITECTURE Eric Goldemberg
    JR0235_ BR Full color, revolutionary work on digital architecture NEW! PULSATION IN ARCHITECTURE Eric Goldemberg Pulsation in Architecture makes a very strong case, as the title suggests, for not only movement in archi- tecture—whirling, swirling, curling and more—but for a movement in architecture as well. Eric Goldemberg’s se- lection of architects and their works captures a constel- lation of architectural ideas hurtling along the vector of digital innovation like proton beams in the Large Hadron Collider. While many of these designers are quite well known in their own right, Goldemberg’s compilation suggests greater global affinities than might otherwise be supposed. —Terence Riley, Architect Retail Price: $89.95 Special Promotional Price: $79.95 when Ordered Direct from J. Ross Publishing Order online at WWW.JROSSPUB.COM or call 954-727-9333 ext.2 pulsation in architecture Pulsation in Architecture highlights the role of digital de- sign as the catalyst for a new spatial sensibility related to rhythmic perception. It proposes a novel critical reception of computational architecture based on the ability of digi- tal design to move beyond mere instrumentality, and to engage with core aspects of the discipline: the generative engine of digital architecture reinvigorates a discourse of part-to-whole relationships through the lens of rhythmic affect. There is a paradigm shift in spatial perception due to the intense use of computational techniques and the capacity to morph massive amounts of data in spatial patterns; rhythm plays a pivotal role in the articulation of the topology of buildings, generating the atmospheric character that induces moods and throbbing sensations in space.

Total earnings rose 1.5% in quarter-on-quarter comparison, said Statistics Centre Abu Dhabi complied, “Abu Dhabi-Based Banks Statistics Report”, for Q1 2015. (Khaleej Times) • Gulf Finance House planning acquisition GFH is planning to make an acquisition this year and sell a unit in an initial public offering. The expected moves are part of efforts to reshape GFH, which was hit hard by the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. “The new strategy of GFH is primarily focused on creation of a financial group rather than just an investment bank which it used to be before,” said Hisham Alrayes, the chief executive. “From the five pillars, we would like to have an equal participation of income, ideally.” Currently the Bahrain-based Islamic investment bank has four units: investment banking, commercial banking, real estate and industry. GFH, which is talking to one firm in Bahrain and two in Dubai, is banking on closing this year with at least one leveraged acquisition valued at about USD200 million. The firm is seeking to finance the acquisition through 30 to 40% equity and the remainder in debt.

  • REVOLUTIONS in PARALLEL: the RISE and FALL of DRAWING in ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN by Kristina M. Luce a Dissertation Submitted in Pa
    REVOLUTIONS IN PARALLEL: THE RISE AND FALL OF DRAWING IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN by Kristina M. Luce A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor Daniel Alan Herwitz, Co-Chair Associate Professor Malcolm McCullough, Co-Chair Professor Celeste A. Brusati Associate Professor Lydia M. Soo © Kristina M. Luce ____________________________ 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The dissertation is more of a collaborative effort then an individual one. I am certainly responsible for the words on these pages, and I am, of course, solely responsible for any errors, but the thinking I cannot claim as mine alone. In this brief moment when one can acknowledge the contributions so generously provided by others, I find myself overwhelmed by the size of my indebtedness and by my gratitude for all scholars who brave criticism, and even ridicule, to share their thinking. One simply cannot make a contribution to any field without the first being inspired by the work that has come before, and the works of James Ackerman, James Elkins, Hans Belting, Mario Carpo, Wolfgang Lefèvre, Herbert Simon and John Harwood, among many others, were of enormous help in forming my own thoughts. More personally, this dissertation would not have the shape it does today had Greg Lynn, Neil Thelen, Evan Douglis and Richard Sarrach not given generously of their time, energy and expertise to share their thinking with me through a series of interviews. In some cases their words have found a place within my own, but they all have helped shape my understanding of the current state of design and practice within architecture.

    mashreq Fixed Income Trading Daily Market Update Sunday, June 21, 2015 Market Update • Emaar Misr IPO offer price set at 3.8 Egyptian Pounds Following the completion of the Institutional Offering Emaar Misr for Development S.A.E. has announced that the offer price has been set at EGP 3.8 per Share, after the Institutional Offering tranche was over 11 times oversubscribed at the offer price. At this price Emaar Misr’s market capitalisation at listing will be approximately EGP 17.6 billion (USD2.3 billion). Emaar Properties PJSC, the parent company of Emaar Misr, will retain its current holdings in Emaar Misr, which will represent 87.01% of Emaar Misr’s post-offer share capital. • Non-oil industries accounted for 69% of economic output last year, state-run news agency reports, citing Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Sheikh Mohammed said the government would spend on large infrastructure projects this year to maintain growth after last year’s robust rate of expansion, when inflation-adjusted GDP grew 4.6%. Projects include 100billion dirham airport expansions, 40billion dirham rail lines, roads and transport projects, tourist facilities, electronic infrastructure, real estate, financial service. The sharp decline in the price of oil since last summer has triggered a renewed focus on diversification. The contribution of the non-oil sector to the economy has already reached almost 70% with a target of up to 80% by 2021. The call for greater economic integration comes ahead of the release of new economic statistics expected this week. The government plans to triple spending on research and development over the next six years and boost the national workforce by 185,000.
