Shaping the skyline
Meet Abdullah Al Mulla and discover how his love of architectural history led him to become a UAE aluminium innovator.
Abdullah Al Mula
Abdullah Al Mula has passion for design and engineering. As a student, he was inspired by the architectural progress of the UAE. His desire to become a part of this progress defined his future as an engineer and designer.
Abduallah addressed the challenge of designing creative yet functional spaces through the study of architectural history.
“I remember back when I was in school, I wrote an essay about how I was inspired by driving through Sheikh Zayed Road.
“Every time you drive on Sheikh Zayed Road you would find a new building coming up there. This is the moment where I was inspired mainly to be an architect.”
Together, innovating aluminium to make modern life possible
Aluminium is amongst the world's most versatile metals. Lightweight, strong and infinitely-recyclable, it is part of everything from smartphones and building, and from food packaging to car parts.
EGA is the world's largest 'premium aluminium' producer. We make one-in-every 25 tonnes of all aluminium made worldwide.
“Within my practice, there are materials produced here in the UAE, like aluminium, that contribute to modernising the city.”
