RAK Ceramics, one of the largest ceramics brands in the world, sponsored two awards at the recent Middle East Architect Awards and was also a platinum sponsor at this year’s Design Mena Summit.

The awards ceremony for the Middle East Architecture Awards took place at The Conrad Hotel in Dubai, UAE. RAK Ceramics sponsored the awards for Large Middle East Architecture Firm of the Year and Leisure and Hospitality Project of the Year.

The ninth annual Middle East Architect Awards recognises the best projects and people in the architecture community across the Middle East. With projects ranging from the world’s tallest towers to one-off villas, and individual nominations from veteran designers as well as bright young architects just starting out, the Middle East Architect Awards are the benchmark of success in the Middle East’s architecture sector.

Abdallah Massaad, RAK Ceramics' Group CEO, said: “As an industry expert, we believe in nurturing, supporting and celebrating talent and we are delighted to have been part of the Middle East Architect Awards. We were pleased to be able to support the fourth Design Mena Summit, giving us the opportunity to meet with some of the best creatives in the business. I am proud that we are based in a region which continues to push the boundaries in architecture design and to be given the opportunity to celebrate the best of this talent.”

The Design Mena Summit took place at The Conrad Hotel in Dubai. RAK Ceramics was a platinum sponsor for the prestigious event which brought together more than 150 senior architects and commercial interior designers from the region’s most influential firms.

The fourth of its kind, the 2016 Design Mena Summit provides the ideal forum for creative people across the design and architectural world to develop their businesses and inspire one another to create the innovative works which define the UAE. – TradeArabia News Service
