In the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this grand edifice is The Most Beautiful Building On Earth. The Museum of the Future is a link between the old world and the new. It effectively applies advanced technology to traditional art forms. Its futuristic form is a class apart from the gigantic structures Dubai is known for. Dubai’s revolutionary architecture has churned out yet another masterpiece in the form of this inspirational building. Its façade is inscribed with future-related quotes of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and rendered in the calligraphy of Mattar bin Lahej. The calligraphy lights up at night and is powered by 4000 megawatts of solar energy. It also forms windows that bathe the inner building with abundant natural light.
The building's stainless steel, ring-like, oval shape sits atop a green podium. The ring represents humanity and the circle of life with the unknown (empty space) at its core. The green podium represents the Earth. Museum of the Future was designed by Killa Design architects and engineered by Buro Happold Engineering Consultancy using a specialized robotic process to manufacture 1024 pieces, which were then joined together to form the majestic shape. With this, Dubai hopes to show the world that progress toward a sustainable future and a healthy planet should not bar economic growth.
The inside of the structure is equally awe-inspiring as you are magically transported to the year 2071 to coincide with the centenary of the founding of the UAE. There are seven floors with no columns or corners, covering an area of 30,000 sq. mt.. The 5th floor houses an actual space station, which NASA has also approved. On the 4th floor, you will be amazed to find a digital rain forest and DNA library. On the 2nd floor, you step into the future with the wildest of ideas brought to life, such as interactive systems designed to answer many questions related to the future of humanity, cities, societies, and life on Earth, all the way to outer space. You will also find self-driving cars, flying drones, and robotic dogs here. Experience the latest virtual and augmented realities at the Museum of the Future. The ultimate AI (Artificial Intelligence) haven. It also includes innovation laboratories for health and education, smart cities, energy, and transportation. Here, you will find laboratories to generate and test new ideas, especially in developmental areas related to critical social challenges. A big museum component is devoted to how we can leverage space travel. There is also a focus on DNA sampling and genetics on one of the museum's floors. The museum deals with the idea of a sustainable future.
This grand institution inspires ideas to leave a better world behind for our children. More than a museum, it is a laboratory where content and exhibits are constantly renewed, enhanced, and enriched in keeping with the latest technological advancements. The museum’s goal is to get people to think about what is possible and to turn that into real-world action.
The Museum of the Future marks another milestone in the journey of Dubai's remarkable transformation from a fishing village to a booming, futuristic metropolis. Another reason why now would be the best time to look out for homes for sale in Dubai is that the region’s economy was built on oil. Now, with the architectural developments setting one record after another, the real estate market in Dubai is at an all-time high.
