Time Transitions is a public installation developed for the second edition of the Sharjah Architecture Triennial, "Beauty of Impermanence: An Architecture of Adaptability," curated by architect Tosin Oshinowo. Located at the entrance of the old Al Jubail Vegetable Market in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, the 18-meter-high installation serves as an observatory to restore the view from the old market to the waterfront. Despite being considered a specimen of modern architecture in Sharjah, the old market, built in 1980, was deactivated and faced imminent demolition. The construction of its successor on the opposite side of the street involved a significant intervention, including the landfilling of part of the waterfront and the consequent distancing from its decades-old predecessor.

Carol Arbex’s exhibition space and store renovation project was developed based on the premise of translating the brand's identity into a spatial experience. Elements and materialities were selected to suggest a subtle path and provide a personal and subjective narrative — built by the user's encounter with space.
