Warehouse421, the home-grown arts and design centre dedicated to showcasing and nurturing creative production across the region located in Abu Dhabi, has announced the opening of Total Landscaping, curated by Murtaza Vali.
Using an ethnographic approach, Gareth Doherty explores diverse forms of knowledge that constitute landscape architecture. Each of Doherty’s publications, including Paradoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City-State, expands the limits and scope of landscape architectural theory and design by considering human ecology alongside environmental and aesthetic concerns. Doherty’s research broadens discussions on ethnography and participatory methods by asking how a socio-cultural perspective can inspire design innovations. Consequently, his work challenges and expands the canons upon which we understand landscape architecture.
Prince Khalid Abdullah, who has died aged 85, created one of the most remarkable racing empires in the long history of the turf.
Most owner-breeders would count themselves lucky to produce one great horse. Khalid Abdullah s green, pink and white colours (suggested by Lord Weinstock to match the prince s office curtains) were carried by four: the incomparable Frankel, unbeaten in 14 races, including 10 Group 1s; Enable, twice winner of the Prix de l Arc de Triomphe; the electrifying Dancing Brave, also an Arc winner and an unlucky loser in the Epsom Derby; and the American horse Arrogate, rated the world best racehorse in 2016 and 2017.

A glimpse of the architectural beauty of Jeddah Al Balad. Jeddah - Asharq Al-Awsat
In any discussion about Saudi Arabia’s most prominent tourist sites, Jeddah is inevitably at the forefront.
The Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage made sure that its campaign, Saudi Winter, which runs until the end of March, strived to do the city justice.
The Commission marked out more than 17 winter tourism destinations. With its enchanting atmosphere in the winter and its various sites and monuments, Jeddah is mentioned as an excellent destination.
When speaking of Jeddah as a touristic destination, one cannot but start with Al-Balad (also known as its Historic District), which UNESCO has labeled a World Heritage Site.
