It is a torus-shaped building with windows shaped like a poem about the future written by Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. On February 3, 2023, the building received his LEED Platinum certification for environmental assessment. The museum's goal is to look first to the future, not the past. Everything in the museum is predicted to be in 2071. ■Appearance The building is 225 feet (77 m) tall and measures 30,548 square feet. The building's exterior is made up of windows that form Arabic quotations from Dubai's ruler about the future of the emirate. The phrases written on the Dubai Future Museum are three quotes from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. “We won't live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone.“ “The future will be for those who will be able to imagine, design and build it, the future does not wait, the future can be designed and built today.“ “The secret of the renewal of life, the development of civilization and the progress of humanity is in one word: innovation.” The Arabic calligraphy engraved quotes on the Museum of the Future in Dubai is written by Emirati artist Matar Bin Lahej. This torus-shaped shell sits on top of the building and comprises 1,024 fire-retardant composite panels clad in stainless steel, and each of which has a unique 3D shape to create the Arabic script. Killa Design and Buro Happold developed new parametric design and Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools, including a growth algorithm that employs digital means to grow the internal steel structure. Danem Engineering Works was one of the steel structure contractors for the project. ■Floor map As part of the experience, the Museum of the Future will take visitors on a journey to the year 2071.
