The letter and Emirati visual memory within a hotel experience.

Mahmood Al Abadi provided art consultancy and shaped a vision combining Emirati heritage and Arabic calligraphy in colour and visual treatments connected to the character of the place. The documented models include works evoking local architecture and the relationship between letter and colour.

The experience invites a comparison with the Andaz project: the presence of art shifts with the character of the place, and the approach comes from understanding the architectural context and the visitor's experience.

The artist's role
