2nd Desert Architecture Mena ForumWe are pleased to announce that Anees Backer and Irina Tadello will participate in the 2nd Desert Architecture MENA Forum in Dubai, contributing to key discussions on the future of building in extreme climates.
On day one, Anees Backer joins the panel ‘Future Façades: Balancing Aesthetics, Performance, and Climate Resilience’, exploring how façade systems can adapt to heat, glare, and dust while balancing energy efficiency, cultural relevance, and long-term performance.
On day two, Irina Tadello moderates ‘Designing the Net Zero Desert’, discussing how architectural innovation, renewable energy systems, passive design strategies, and cross-disciplinary collaboration can support the UAE’s journey toward Net Zero 2050 in extreme desert environments.
Across both sessions, one point becomes clear: the performance of the building envelope under extreme conditions directly influences energy demand, durability, and occupant comfort.
We look forward to exchanging perspectives on what resilient architecture must deliver in practice today.

20years Priedemann Dubai20 years. Over 300 projects across countries like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Oman, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Georgia, and more. One shared passion for building skins – and the incredible people who made it possible.
Two decades ago, we took our first steps in the Gulf Region – a small team with a big vision: to bring thoughtful, high-quality facade consultancy and engineering to one of the most dynamic regions in the world.
Since then, we’ve grown, learned, and built alongside some of the most inspiring architects, clients, and partners. Every project tells a story – of collaboration, resilience, and creativity.
Our heartfelt thanks go to our valued clients and partners, whose trust and collaboration have been at the core of our success. Your vision continues to inspire us to push boundaries and deliver our very best.
A special thank you to our Dubai team – past and present – whose dedication, expertise, and passion have been the foundation of every achievement. You’ve carried our mission forward with pride and professionalism every single day.
We’re also deeply grateful to our colleagues around the globe, whose constant support has strengthened our journey and made this milestone possible.
As we celebrate this anniversary, we’ll soon be sharing a series of project highlights that have shaped our journey over the years – stay tuned.
Here’s to the people, the projects, and the passion that have defined these 20 years – and to the exciting road ahead.
