These hats extend the core questions raised in Future of Gulf Housing: Reflections and Propositions into everyday objects, using text and materiality to reflect the environmental, social, and temporal conditions shaping housing in the Gulf today.

The deep green hat features the text “Climate: 45 °C | Ideas: Hotter”, referencing the region’s rising temperatures and the urgency of rethinking housing in relation to climate, comfort, and habitability.

The navy blue hat carries the phrase “BUILT TO DEMOLISH”, pointing to cycles of rapid development, demolition, and replacement that characterize much of the Gulf’s residential landscape.

Both hats feature the FGH typographic logo, engraved as a subtle mark of the publication and its ongoing inquiry into housing as a lived, cultural, and political condition.
