Dubai, United Arab Emirates-Only really gaining the world’s attention within the last few decades, Dubai has quickly established itself as a powerhouse of construction and luxury. Although its architecture can’t rival Rome’s or China’s in historical value, Dubai is a fascinating junction of engineering and artistic design. Tom Wright’s Burj Al Arab was constructed atop one of Dubai’s many man-made islands; its claim to fame is not just its sharp, modern aesthetic, but also its complex engineering feat. If the ubiquity of its image means anything today, Burj Al Arab stands as one of the most memorable structures of the latter 20th century. Photo by: David Weekly.

Heatherwick Studios designed this Abu Dhabi park to work with the challenging desert environment. Proposed structural features, such as a cracked canopy that mimics the landscape’s natural reaction to the blistering heat, are meant to provide shade and reduces evaporation.

Designed by Russian-born architect Al Mansfeld, the museum is located atop Neveh Sha’anan, the Hill of Tranquility, in Jerusalem. The structure was a cutting-edge example of modular building: it consists of 120-square-foot units that can be grouped together or sit on their own.

"At Subports we make it a point to send hand written or adorned mail whenever possible.  Just the other day we sent a ransom note styled envelope containing a check over to our friends at Vena Cava.

The On Kawara stamp kit includes seven holds (1-5 line, one oval, one round), a black stamp pad, and 4mm (upper/lowercase and special characters) and 6mm (upper and special characters) letters organized in seven small cases.
