Due to the nature of the Virtual Design Studio we will be taking a virtual tour rather than a physical tour. This way we also overcome the time constraints and cultural restrictions of the studio, and you can have the freedom visit areas of the city at your own pace. The virtual tour will also give you the opportunity to revisit any place any time at the click of a mouse, which will be a bonus when digitally discussing your design ideas with fellow group members. Activity: Log on to the VDS website www.vds.com and follow the link to the virtual tour of Sharjah. With your political philosophy in mind, identify the problem areas of the Emirate. In terms of facilities, uses, economic growth and socialisation think about improvements of the Emirate. Sketch your ideas below and on your Facebook page. Feedback (Cont.

Conclusion: In accordance with Amal’s feminist principles she suggests that the improvement of female-only facilities such as swimming pools and beaches would be a positive move for the women of Sharjah. Tom Wright, on the other hand is concerned with the iconography a particular building brings to a city and understands the Burj Al Dubai as an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation mimicking the billowing sail of a boat. Activity: After observing the virtual tour, go to www.facebook.com, login using your username and password.

Conclusion: Ideas of development include the old airport, now a museum and situated on the main road in Sharjah, could be developed further to improve consumer sovereignty. “When redesigning Sharjah we must think of how we can retain the heritage of the Emirate whilst creating an innovative strategy for the future of an emerging cosmopolitan city. We must think about how traditional, established, often tyrannical rules, can dictate not only the lives of the people but the environment in which we live. The question we must pose is: How can we produce design ideas which stay closely linked to our religion and heritage whilst embracing the challenges of the modern world?” Amal Al-Ali 2009 Activity: Think about the key characteristics of the old Sharjah and its impact on the new city.
