RADIC@l  CITY by Tatia Mamulashvili

Adaptation VS Domination.

Dubai is a one of the richest country in the word. Everyone wishes to visit once in their life maybe, because it seems to be so different from other cities. And why is it so attractive? Because of the luxury skyscraper? Or because of the great place for businessmen..

There are trying to make it more attractive using there resources, spending money however even though we can’t call Dubai Radical city and  place were Adaptation is wining the battle with domination, also we can’t say that they’re using  there resources in the right way. 

The main is  the way of  thinking and how you use this power. In the city there is no balance, in  that aspect we can call Dubai radical, because on different sides of the road we can see radical situations.

Architecture.. the adaptation of form to resist force. Architecture is a political act, by nature. It has to do with the relationships between people and how they decide to change their conditions of living. It  seems like  desert is place without expectation, but Dubai has a great connection with the sea and has a resources of  petrol, combining all this we’re creating not a place for a minute joy, we’re  actually creating place for people, and as Tadao Ando said "he way people live can be directed as  Architecture" so we’re  creating Architecture with the help of the salt. We’re receiving salt from sea water, our balloons which is full of the gas takes water from the sea and makes the rain. Water is full of salt and salt itself creates architecture(second facades, corridors). We are creating Salt structure, salt reflects the sun light, then we are having a beautiful colorful shadows and the main, we have Architecture for new way of living.
