The Museum of the Future in Dubai is an intricate structure, created by local studio Killa Design under Shaun Killa's guidance. An extraordinary feat of computer-aided design and engineering, its construction required years of planning.
Built to inspire and educate, the building features seven column-free floors filled with exhibits that encourage new ways of thinking. Additionally, an augmented reality floor employs the Microsoft Hololens headset is also featured within.
Designed by Killa Design
Museum of the Future Dubai stands as an architectural and cultural icon just steps from Burj Khalifa. Designed by Killa Design, its distinctive shape features an elliptical void in its center for ease of navigation.
Even with its intricate architecture, the building is eco-friendly, using solar energy for operations. Comprised of seven floors each featuring different themes, this museum displays different exhibits.
The museum features nine exhibition areas that cover themes related to science, technology and sustainability - such as space exploration, health and wellbeing, transportation and more.
The museum is an interactive experience, where science, technology, and environment come together to challenge your perception of what the future may hold for us all. Drawing inspiration from Chinese Feng Shui principles, this space represents hope and innovation.
