Identity: Icons of the UAE – Through the Lens of Architecture

These are the stunning landmarks from the UAE with striking architecture.

Museum of the Future

The evocative torus-shaped structure of the Museum of the Future in Dubai, an unmissable structure that opened in Downtown Dubai in February 2022, has become one of the city’s architectural masterpieces, symbolizing humanity’s capacity to continuously innovative – one of Dubai’s defining characteristics. Designed by Killa Design, the building features a green hill representing the earth, symbolizing permanence, its stainless-steel structure represents humanity or strength and the central void for which it is known reflects the idea of surrendering to the unknown future and the exciting opportunities it will bring. Covering the façade of the building is Arabic calligraphy acting as glass windows, presenting quotes on the idea of the future by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. One notable one reads: “We might not live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone.”
