..Not really interesting? I went in with friends and such, nobody could manage to put up with it past 40 minutes in!For starters the exhibition hall, held at the ADNEC - Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center was much smaller than it seemed. It’s located at the end of Airport Road heading towards Dubai, which basically is a spot o attract visitors from Northern Emirates (i.e. Dubai), but for those in Abu Dhabi, I think it isn’t as friendly. Nevertheless, the exhibition content itself was the major disappointment for me personally; I can assure that I’ve seen the projects more than twice before, this is the drawback; it’s sort of outdated.However, Foster’s Masdar Zone was new to cityscape, the whole feel of high-end technology meeting cutting-edge design being implemented in the dessert is a dazzling concept.Question is: Is the construction scene over-stuffed with mundane projects that are over-exhibited in order to be over-marketed?

it dusn’t seem to be worth it this time.
but last year’s exhibition at DTC was astonishing though!
