X-Architects
Architecture

Founded in 2003 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by Ahmed Al-Ali and Farid Esmaeil, X-Architects operates a critical design approach which recognizes the inherent complexity in building and construction and, harnesses this complexity to produce projects that are robust and adaptable.It is a practice where design and tactical decisions operate in relationship to the numerous constraints and unforeseen developments of any project, whether large or small scale. The ability to not only accept change and alteration, but to use these critical events in a productive and reinvigorating manner is central to the progressive architectural practice of X-Architects.

X-Architects is a critical architectural studio founded in 2003 by principal architects Ahmed Al-Ali and Farid Esmaeil. Both principals are strong proponents of Arab Culture and its translation into contemporary design. 

X- Architects believes in design as a process. We research into creating a built environment that is adaptive and contextual. We see architecture as a language that speaks of the place. Our sensible, yet critical design approach recognizes the inherent complexity in modern day building and harnesses this complexity to produce projects that are culturally robust, place sensitive and environmentally friendly.
