Concrete

Concrete is a blank canvas with limitless configurations. A multi-disciplinary space designed by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), Concrete has been shortlisted for the 2019 Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

A multi-disciplinary and responsive space that was created with the capacity to present large-scale art exhibitions, symposia, conferences, conceptual fashion presentations, film screenings, and corporate experiences, as well as private functions. Concrete has hosted world-renowned institutions, leading educational and cultural networks, and iconic luxury brands.

Concrete is an iconic building, and the very first project to be completed by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), founded by Pritzker Prize winning architect Rem Koolhaas, in the UAE. Concrete is the first building in the history of Dubai to be shortlisted for the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

A multi-disciplinary space, Concrete is a blank canvas with limitless configurations, making every experience unique to your brand. Concrete has hosted exhibitions and events in collaboration with world-renowned institutions (including the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Montblanc Cultural Foundation, Hayward Gallery, London and the Aga Khan Museum), iconic luxury brands, well-known personalities, and leading international educational and cultural organisations.

Concrete hosts large-scale art exhibitions, symposia, conferences, conceptual fashion presentations, film screenings, award ceremonies, meetings, and corporate experiences, as well as private functions.
