Dubai Design Week will be held from 4 to 9 November 2025 in the creative district of Dubai Design District (d3) and will mark its 11th edition. This event welcomes architects, designers and creators from all over the world with a full programme.

Designers, artists, brands and institutions are invited to propose projects that explore how design can build bridges between disciplines, cultures and communities. The proposed themes include emerging technologies, new materials, public space, cultural narratives and the intersections between craft and innovation.

Participation can take several forms:

• an installation in d3 public spaces (transformations of public spaces through large-scale built environments);
• an exhibition in partner galleries or spaces (thematic experiments highlighting talent and fostering cultural exchange);
• an interactive or educational workshop (hands-on activities for all ages, led by professionals);
• or via the Urban Commissions competition (exploring local and global urban infrastructure).
