For the Abu Dhabi edition of NOMAD, The A/P Room inhabits the iconic Terminal 1 of Zayed International Airport a landmark of modernist architecture designed by Paul Andreu in the late 1970s. Reactivated as a space of cultural transit, the terminal becomes a threshold: a site between worlds, where architecture, design, and memory intersect. Conceived as a curatorial platform for experimental design emerging from the region and resonating internationally, its vocation is also to represent and connect international artists and designers within the Middle Eastern context, fostering dialogues that expand beyond borders while remaining deeply anchored in place. The A/P Room extends its dialogue from Dubai’s vibrant creative landscape into a broader field of exchange.
