In collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and led by Studio Madane, Jameel Arts Centre is pleased to host the Global Summer School 2026 — Post Occupancy Architecture Workshop: Interspecies Futures. This two-week intensive programme challenges conventional approaches to architectural practice. Rather than designing a project from scratch, participants will conduct a forensic audit of ‘Tarabot: Weaving a Living Forum’, designed by theOtherDada. Using physical computing sensors, participants will investigate the installation’s ecological design, identify opportunities for improvement, and design and fabricate a 1:1 physical intervention directly into its steel frame. This is lifecycle architecture in real-time. Following the programme, ‘Tarabot: Weaving a Living Forum’ will be submerged in the sea, where it will serve as a substrate for coral reef rehabilitation. Key Details: Workshop Dates: July 6-17, 2026 Location: Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai Requirements: Open to all; no prior specialist knowledge required. Applications are officially open. Spaces are allocated on a strictly first-come, first-served basis and participation is limited to 12 people. Secure your place now via this link: https://lnkd.in/e33yxcwe.
