In our October issue, regular contributor John A. Davies pays tribute to Landscape veteran and now author of Landscape Plants of Arabia, Julian Lee. The book has been some twenty years in the making for the Dubai based Landscape designer. It’s been described as “a remarkable work of reference that will prove invaluable for horticulturalists and amateur gardeners across the Middle East and beyond.” I look forward to ploughing through it and indeed would ask all of our readers to support this local author and talent for his commendable work.
Meanwhile, we showcase projects from OMRAN architects in New Cairo, Egypt. As well as a new build landscape project in Dubai Hills that oozes luxury by Dubai based Gin Wingfield designs. (Pg 18) And of course, we have articles from the greatest show in the world, Expo 2020 Dubai, with a focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s pavilion design, as well as the green lung of the Expo site, Expo Park designed by Cracknell and will form an important part of the shows
