ARTstor: Contemporary Architecture, Urban Design, and Public Art

ARTstor has collaborated with ART on FILE to share more than 11,700 images of contemporary architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and public art in the Digital Library. Photographers Colleen Chartier and Rob Wilkinson, have photographed 20th and 21st century architecture and landscape architecture projects around the world, in the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Chartier and Wilkinson focused on the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is the site of many recent large-scale construction projects, including the Burj Khalifa (Skidmore, Owings and Merrell), which was completed in January 2010 and is the world's tallest building at 2,717 ft. They also photographed the Meydan Racecourse (TAK architects), the longest building in the world and the Burj Al Arab (Tom Wright of W. S. Atkins PLC), a hotel constructed on an artificial island.
