by Pratyush Sarup and Amy Bradford | April 7, 2022

The best of the best. That’s always been Architectural Digest’s motto and this year, AD50, our annual selection of the region’s most influential creatives, casts it’s net wider than before: From established practices and new home-grown talents to the dynamic diaspora around the world, these are the names to know.

Shaun Killa’s name will be on everyone’s lips this year thanks to the new Museum of the Future in Dubai, but that’s not all. After delivering the towering Address JBR Hotel last year, his next ambitious project is the superyacht-inspired Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab hotel, a complement to the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab nearby. It incorporates a yacht club, luxury residences, and a large resort with private beaches.
