Dubai-
I don't know anything about Dubai so I found this interesting. Basically they really want to be good at design and haven't found their way yet. It was supposed to be a lot like Las Vegas, except that they didn't make fun of themselves. They took this sense of design a little too seriously for how cheesy it was. They were borrowing a lot of ideas and even slogans from the Western world. It sounds like they have different copyright laws, but I'm curious as to how that transfers over seas? The clothes that the people of Dubai wore were very elegantly simple and made for the hot weather. The designers thought that they should learn from the design of their clothes and use these ideas more. I found it interesting that it is almost shameful to be a designer there and want to know more about that.
Rapid Prototyping-
I do kn ow a little about this but I learned a little more about it. Basically, rapid prototyping is a 3D printer.. You get your design on a computer using 3D modeling software and can actually print out a tangible form. You can do this with a range of materials, really anything stackable I believe? The machines are still very expensive. They could someday be used for production instead of prototyping.

You got some good info from the Dubai podcast and the main jist. Save the podcast b/c there are alot of good nuggets of information in there. I see a parallel between Dubai developing its aesthetic and young designers developing theirs. Good Job.
