The Architecture & Interior Design
International Magazine | Middle East

Compasses quarterly magazine was set up in Dubai in 2007. Compasses Architecture & Interior Design was originally intended to become a unique showcase of Middle Eastern continuous transformation into a charming, dynamic and contradictory anthropized environment. In its pages you can appreciate new trends in urban planning and architecture. Compasses is now after ten years of “publishing” a media platform of contents and ideas targeting architects, interior designers, consultants, traders, design and architecture addicts and VIPs. Web portal, digital magazine in Tablet version and social media targeting over 15.000 architects and designers throughout the ME. A periodical newsletter distributed to the Middle Eastern community in a space within the top exhibitions where you can find the magazine and meet the team. The evolving story of Compasses sees in 2016 a new scientific director, Andrea Pane, who is professor of architectural conservation at the University of Naples Federico II. The new layout of the magazine keeps the former base enhancing the scientific contents with a specific section dedicated to longer articles as essays and papers regarding the main topic of each issue. The latest editorial board is composed of many academics and professionals in the fields of architecture, planning, conservation, design, based both in UAE and Italy. Compasses is moving forward.
