Dubai's inaugural Design Week gave visitors a glimpse of the city's plans to turn itself into a design capital. Central to this plan is d3, the city’s newly-unveiled design district which will combine a commercial retail area with a creative community

在过去的十年里，迪拜一直忙于自我改造。今天，这里是一个繁华的商业中心，是东西方之间的门户，是国际购物和度假的目的地，也是即将到来的2020年世博会的主办城市。城市的下一个议程是设计，有一个雄心勃勃但经过仔细考虑的计划，要把迪拜更多的沙漠空间变成创意和商业的温床。

这个计划的核心是d3，这座城市新推出的设计区将把商业零售区和创意社区结合起来，并排运行以鼓励双方的对话。旁边将是一个滨水区的开发，一个新的码头，给公共优势的设计区。

该区商业部分今年早些时候公布，标志着主计划第一阶段的完成——开发商TECOM和D3管理计划，在2018（第二阶段）开放该地区的福斯特和合作伙伴设计的创意社区，并为滨水地区提供服务。2020期（三期）。D3从世界各地、过去和现在的其他创意社区学习，制定了一个雄心勃勃的计划，不仅吸引来自迪拜的创意人才，也吸引整个地区的创新人才。

D3的董事总经理林赛·米勒(Lindsay Miller)解释说，我们正在研究的一个强大组成部分是学术方面。她指出，她的团队将在未来几个月里努力工作，努力在该地区建立一所设计学校。米勒希望，这个教育和创意中心将吸引更多来自周边地区的玩家，并创造一个平台，开始在d3创意社区的基础上发展。

在上个月成立的迪拜设计周期间，一项设计设施计划、一次国际贸易展览、来自中东各国的回顾和一次研究生展览，让游客们领略了他们在未来几年对该地区的期望，并特别强调了服务、研究和开发。

该地区的户外区域由迪拜Loci建筑公司设计的6个展馆组成，他们将当地的沙子包裹在聚碳酸酯面板中，为简单的白色框架结构建造半透明的墙。每个展馆展出了来自约旦、科威特、巴基斯坦、沙特阿拉伯、突尼斯和阿联酋等6个中东和北非国家之一的设计师的作品。所有的灵感都来自于“游戏：文化中的游戏元素”的主题，每一次演讲都巧妙地引用了欧洲的设计项目和语言，但都聚焦于中东的工艺和制造传统。

在这个城市的其他地方，国际设计师和艺术家接管了阿法迪迪历史街区、朱梅拉和码头，这些设施由中东设计师和新技术和全球创意者的概念思维所引用的传统本土工艺品。

距离d3不远的地方，在拉斯哈尔火烈鸟保护区，新成立的德雷克集体公布了一个年度项目，每年将探索该地区野生动物保护的不同方面。首场展览包括哈立德·沙法尔(Khalid Shafar)的产品设计、胡洛德·萨尼(Khulood Thani)的时尚、黎巴嫩设计师纳丁·坎索(Nadine Kanso)的珠宝首饰、塔里克·扎哈拉(Tarik Al Zhalna)的建筑展馆

设计周的每一个方面都非常强调合作，同时也希望探索和庆祝当地的手艺，同时形成一种新的设计语言来识别该地区。

With the commercial portion of Dubai's Design District having been unveiled this year - marking the completion of phase one of the masterplan - developer Tecom and the d3 management plans to open the district's Foster and Partners-designed creative community by 2018 (phase two) and for the waterfront to be completed for 2020 (phase three)

Learning from other creative communities from across the globe, past and present, d3 has developed an ambitious plan to draw creative talent not only from Dubai but also from the entire region, and beyond

Visitors to Dubai Design Week were treated to a busy programme of design installations, an international trade show, retrospectives from various Middle Eastern countries and a graduate show

The district's outdoor areas were populated by six pavilions designed by Dubai-based Loci Architecture, who encased local sand in polycarbonate panels to create translucent walls for the simple white frame structures

Each pavilion showcased work by designers from one of six MENA countries including Jordan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and UAE. All inspired by the theme of ‘Games: The Element of Play in Culture’    

Elsewhere in the city, international designers and artists took over popular areas with installations that combined local craft with imaginative design. At the Dubai Marina, Latifa Saeed and Talin Hazber presented Earth Hives (pictured) - an installation of 575 terracotta spheres that celebrate Emirati craft

Aljoud Lootah installed a woven pavilion inspired by traditional Emirati fishing nets on the beach

In the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, Brazilian collective Amor de Madre presented A Place of Departure, a conceptual double wall of glass and wood that uses a haptic feedback system to create simulataneous vibrations across the collective's other glass walls, that are currently installed in Sao Paulo and Beiijing    

Also in Al Fahidi, Iraqui designer Ali Al-Sammarraie presented his Detritus Wall made from waste off-cuts

Inside the old buildings in the area visitors could find the lighting works of Syrian architects Bahar al Bahar and Sawsan Al Bahar 

Dubai-based artist Raudha Al Ghurair presented a project that exemplifies a collaboration between human and nature through technology

A glass archway by Anjali Srinivasan was built over the course of a week in the spaces of d3
