About X Architects
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.
