The Tasmeem Doha Event Begins in Three Weeks...

The biannual Tasmeem Doha Conference begins in three weeks time. It's the biggest Design Conference of the MENA/ GCC region that, this year, not only includes a two day talking-heads component, but also five days of Student Labs, done in collaboration with the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art; a set of Academic Research Workshops, a number of exhibitions by both regional and international artists, designers and architects, and a film festival. The keynote speaker is Rem Koolhaas... 

There's still much to do during the next few weeks (I'm co-chairing the event) but I think it's going to be a very exciting and interesting eight days...
