Laser-cut Plexiglas, 14 panels
In a long corridor-like room in Bait Al Serkal, another Heritage Area building, seven doors opening onto the veranda have been replaced with coloured screens. Fashioned from a double layer of transparent coloured Plexiglas, they are cut with patterns inspired by elements of domestic architecture in the United Arab Emirates and Brazil. The screens open the room to air and light, creating a flow between spaces and allowing people to see and hear each other, whether from within or without.
