Some criticize UAE architecture because of the wonderful modern buildings that are recently build in the country. They say that the country has lack of identity and that it is influence by other cultures specially the west. But that is not true for two reasons; first the UAE is a new country that started in 1971, and before that it was generally only desert. And because it is a rich country it has fast modernized movements that grabs all the world attention. For this reason some say that we do not have an identity, and they explain that by the country overview that it has so many tall modernize buildings. But i want to ask these people, we did not have buildings in our history how would you want them to have our identity? And because we did not have any before does not mean we can’t have know! Second, they say that our buildings have many influence, its normal because as i mention we are a multicultural society! But this also do not mean that we don’t have our unique traditional design and Islamic architecture. The influence of Islamic and Arab culture on the country architecture is very prominent. In this Blog, I will try to show pictures of constructions in the UAE that has Islamic, traditional, or/and Arabic design, but I will focus more on Abu-Dhabi and Dubai cities because both cities receives most of the criticize .
