World’s most beautiful, futuristic building in Dubai

Abu Dhabi : As the world marks International Museum Day, the Museum of the Future in Dubai, deemed as the world’s most beautiful and futuristic building, is introducing a brand new concept as it is the only museum that talks about the possibilities of the future.
Opened to the public in February 2022, the seven-storyed, column-free Museum of the Future is one of the most beautiful structures in the world. Stunning Arabic calligraphy is embellished on the stainless-steel envelope of the building, serving as punctures and openings to let the rays of light stream in. Acting as a connection between the interior and exterior, the cut-outs on the stainless-steel facade are designed by Emirati artist Mattar bin Lahej.
To carry forward the vision of the Ruler of Dubai and UAE Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the museum serves as a laboratory and a space to develop the latest technologies in big data analysis, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual and Augmented Reality, and human-machine interaction, which itself is a unique idea for a building called the museum, where in general visitors always go through the past and history.
Designed by Dubai-based Shaun Killa, the building pays tribute to the pioneering achievements of the scholars and scientists from the region and symbolises a bright future for humanity and evolution. The space also includes innovation laboratories dedicated to churning and testing ideas for a better future regarding urban design, smart cities, energy and transportation, education, health, and other critical challenges. The museum welcomes people of all ages to see, touch and shape a shared future.
أطلقنا اليوم بحمدالله معلماً علمياً ومعرفياً عالمياً … متحف المستقبل .. الأجمل في العالم في المعني والمبنى .. أداة لاستشراف مستقبلنا .. وحاضنة لأفكار شبابنا .. ومؤسسة لترسيخ معارفنا .. صرح سيتعدى أثره الإمارات والمنطقة بإذن الله لسنوات عديدة قادمة pic.twitter.com/X4Z0wuHaAK — HH Sheikh Mohammed (@HHShkMohd) February 22, 2022 Killa said in an interview that it is a building that’s rich in culture, unique in its form and technically complex in its execution. Shaped like a human eye, the structure represents future vision and knowledge while the void represents the unknown that we seek to discover. The primary inspiration for the Museum of the Future was to create a form that represents the UAE Prime Minister’s vision of the future where the physical building embodies floors with exhibitions that explore the possibilities of tomorrow’s world.
Some major challenges in the design of the Museum of the Future include the incorporation of the calligraphy into the parametrically optimized form and as for execution, it was all about the coordination of more than 1,000 unique structural nodes and their base connections, clash avoidance with secondary support steelwork, fit-out, and MEP.
