Beirut just keeps getting better and better! Another highlight from our Beirut visit this week? Adib Dada, founder of theOtherDada architectural practice, gave us a tour of his wonderful studio and showed us some of the firm's architectural projects underway throughout the Middle East in Jeddah and Riyadh for private homes.

Informed by their research into biomimicry, theOtherDada collaborates as a team of architects, scientists, botanists, artists, craftsmen, and economists to determine designs and best practices for building materials, water conservation, energy generation, and more, with great respect for the environments within which they work. A few samples of the studio's work below.  Such interesting work, and such a fantastic team!
