Ajman, The United Arab Emirates

Ajm?n (or Ujman; Arabic: ?????? ‘ajm?n) is one of the seven emirates constituting the United Arab Emirates (UAE). With an area of just 260 square kilometres, Ajman is the smallest emirate by area. Its seat of government is Ajm?n, which is bordered on its north, south, and east by Sharjah.

Located along the Arab Gulf, Ajman also controls Masfut and Manama, two small, inland enclaves that are primarily agricultural. Approximately 95% of the population of the emirate resides in the city of Ajman. The population was only 36,000 in 1980 but grew considerably in recent years, due to an influx of people from the neighbouring emirates of Dubai, Sharjah, and other countries. Ajman is ruled by Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi of the Al Nuaimi tribe. The Crown Prince of the Emirate is Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi. Ajm?n has experienced massive development and a construction boom in recent years.

—Philip Johnson

SOME MORE…….

Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.
—Rem Koolhaas

AND EXPLORE MORE…….

Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion, some polemic, I think is good. It shows that people are interested, people are involved.
—Richard Meier
