The Three Crescents: Water is the material of the new Jumeirah Cultural Centre. It gives it its form, but is also formed by it. Following on the tradition of the desert nomad; the Centre is an oasis for the modern nomadic jetsetter, for the 21st Century. Conceived as a crescent overlap of the circular pond with the circular park, the Centre becomes a negotiation between architecture and landscape, sitting at the edge of both, literally and metaphorically. It is neither architecture nor landscape, but both at the same time.
