The Ramadan Furniture Design Competition was a small scale design contest organised by the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS), a non-profit, student-led group that caters to the needs of design students across the majors, originally from April 10 to 21 and then extended due to its demand.
“The aim of the competition was to create a practical furniture design solution that best portrays the spirit and essence of the holy month of Ramadan by creating a spatial experience that is both emotional and spiritual, while serving the purpose of the blessed month,” said AIAS president Fatima Sayed Ali, a 22-year-old UoB architecture student from Hamad Town, who also happens to be part of one of the winning teams .
