The Dubai Future Museum is an engineering miracle on an area of 30,000 square meters and 77 meters high. It consists of seven floors. It is characterized by the absence of columns inside, which makes its engineering design a milestone in the field of urban engineering. The museum is also linked to two bridges, the first extending to Jumeirah Emirates Towers. It is 69 meters long, and the second connects it to the Emirates Towers metro station with a length of 212 meters. The museum is fed with 4,000 megawatts of electricity that was produced through solar energy, through a special station connected to the museum that was built in cooperation with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, which will make the museum, upon completion, the first museum In the Middle East, it receives platinum accreditation for Leadership in the Design of Energy and Environmental Protection Systems (LEED), which is the highest rating for green buildings in the world, and the garden surrounding the Museum of the Future embraces 80 species and species of plants, equipped with a smart and automated irrigation system at the latest level, while the facade of the museum consists From 1024 pieces of art entirely manufactured by robots, and executed in a mannerIt is unique, as the facade panels were produced using automated robotic arms in a precedent that is the first in the region, and each panel consists of four layers, and there are 16 process steps to produce one panel, and each panel is installed and installed separately, as the installation period of the external facade continued More than 18 months.
The Museum of the Future is an unparalleled urban icon around the world, and it won the "Tekla International Building Award", as a unique urban model, as there is no building in the world that was built based on similar techniques, and relied on special techniques that distinguished it from other buildings.
According to Autodesk Design Software, the Museum of the Future is one of the most innovative buildings in the world, and the building was designed by architect Sean Killa, to provide visitors with an interactive experience that is the first of its kind.
The museum has seven floors that employ the latest virtual and augmented reality technologies, big data analysis, artificial intelligence, and machine-human interaction, to make available to museum visitors immersive experiences that answer many pressing questions related to the future of humans, cities, human societies and life on the planet, up to Outer Space.
The museum is divided into three main parts. The first section focuses on the robotics and artificial intelligence sector and their impact on improving human mental abilities. The second section highlights the relationship between humans and robots, such as robots caring for the elderly, and the third section deals with how to take advantage of artificial intelligence in management processes. and decision-making, including how much to trust AI to manage money.
