The Architecture initiative powered by the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities. Darayesh aims to increase awareness of the meaning of architecture. It highlights the relationship between people and space. It is about how people feel and interact with their surroundings. It is about transforming spaces into places. Through this initiative, one abandoned space in the midst of the historical city of “Muharraq” was selected and entirely transformed to a gathering and co-working space.
The space was activated by live music events, a workshop in collaboration with Kuwaiti Architecture firm “Kayan Office”, a photo-walk in Muharraq and [Urban Play] interventions. The pop-up space operated for 1 month with a fantastic turn-out. It is currently closed for maintenance and will be open permanently shortly.
