The Plume, a Sustainable Art Installation by AU Student Displayed at Dubai Design Week

Mohammad Mazen, an undergraduate student from the College of Architecture, Art and Design recently participated in a design installation competition specifically designed for Dubai Design Week and was adjudged its winner.

 His winning installation, The Plume was proudly displayed at the recently held Dubai Design Week from November 8-14.

 The design is inspired by migratory birds which reflect world globalization and the journey of life. Coated metal plates resemble the feathers of the bird.  The feathers overlap to form the shape of the wing. The rods which represent the skeleton of the bird wings are recovered from construction waste and cut to the desired length and formed to the desired shape. The bench is made of reused steel plates to provide structural stability finished with WPC.
