Pascal Menoret taught Modern Architecture of Abu Dhabi during the 2014 January term. He introduced students to the history of architecture in Abu Dhabi and to the contribution of modern architects to the cityscape. The course aimed at a better knowledge of the city's built heritage, of its current relevance and long-term preservation prospects. Students were taught observation, archival research, writing, and critical thinking skills, which they applied to specific buildings across the city. During their 3 week class, Pascal Menoret and the students produced the first draft of The Abu Dhabi Guide: Modern Architecture 1968-1992, an exploration of 30 of the city's most notable buildings.
