LWK + PARTNERS was honored to present two of our signature projects—Library of Light and DIFC Living—at RIBA’s dual exhibition held at 66 Portland Place, London. These exhibitions explored sustainable design and architectural innovation, emphasizing creative solutions to challenging urban environments.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation
Our showcased projects exemplify LWK + PARTNERS’ focus on integrating sustainability with future-ready design. Library of Light maximizes the use of natural light, minimizing energy consumption while fostering spaces that inspire learning and reflection. DIFC Living exemplifies sustainable urban living through smart technologies and energy-efficient materials, offering luxury with environmental responsibility.
The Importance of Participating in Global Platforms
When asked about the significance of participating in such exhibitions, Global Design Principal Kourosh Salehi said:
“Engaging with RIBA’s exhibitions allows us to not only showcase our projects on a global platform but also to align with the architectural profession’s shared goals for sustainability. It reinforces our role as a thought leader in the region, supporting RIBA’s efforts to foster innovation in architecture.”
He emphasized that events like these provide an opportunity for dialogue, exchange, and collaboration, enriching LWK’s approach to design and expanding our impact.
Sustainable Design in the Gulf: A Regional Focus
The Sustainable Design in the Gulf exhibition celebrates 50 years of architectural achievements, showcasing how architects in the region have responded to environmental challenges with innovative and eco-conscious design solutions. Kourosh added:
“Sustainability is no longer optional; it’s essential. Through projects like DIFC Living, we are redefining urban spaces with sustainability at the core. This exhibition captures that essence by reflecting the journey of the Gulf’s architectural evolution.”
For those visiting London in the coming weeks, we encourage you to explore the exhibition at RIBA’s headquarters. It offers a unique perspective on sustainable design across the region, featuring works from RIBA Royal Gold Medal winners and regional practitioners.
