| 摘要： | Designed by architect Shaun Killa of Killa Design, the site is composed primarily of three artistic elements: the green mound, the museum building, and the elliptical void. Front- and back-of-house functions are within the vegetation-covered mound, which, according to Killa, "represents the earth, with (its) solidity, permanence, and rooted ness in place, time, and history." The museum building's unique torus shape represents the "eye that sees tomorrow," per a museum press release. The building's stainless steel facade is covered in windows in the form of Arabic calligraphy depicting quotes from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. The script is considered an embodiment of the museum's purpose as an incubator of futuristic ideologies and technologies. And lastly, the elliptical void created by the museum's torus shape is a visual illustration of the unknown, of what is yet to be created and discovered. |
