Last week my studio went on our trip to the United Arab Emirates in the Persian [Arabian] Gulf. As a group of 10 students (working in 3 teams) under the direction of our tutor tom verebes, we based ourselves in the booming city of Dubai and also explored the desert, coast, and cities of oil-rich Abu Dhabi, less-shiny Sharjah, and Ras' al-Khaimah - a much smaller and poorer city where our project site is to be situated.
The three other studio groups in my same program are simultaneously visiting different cities around the world, as we work on a shared investigation of global urbanism. Check out the DRL blog http://aadrl.blogspot.com/ to view updates on the excursions to the UAE; + Brazil: San Paulo, Brasilia, and Rio; New York New York; and Moscow, Russia.

Hello UK,
Minneapolis has been enjoying the latest sandy adventures of Lindsay abroad. I assume crossing paths at Ames AAC activities will not occur until late summer. I had to miss the December activities and fear that the group will be missing a spark at the next session.

Lindsay, you're such a hottie. So happy to see you're still rocking the jean mini & black shirt combo. I bet Dubai had no idea what to do with those pipes!
