The Museum of the Future Dubai officially opens
The Museum of the Future has officially opened in Dubai
A striking new addition to the city’s skyline, the museum is a cultural destination that symbolises both the heritage and future progress of Dubai. Its opening celebrates the creative thinkers and problem solvers who designed and constructed this award-winning project.

Working with Killa Design Architecture, our multidisciplinary team solved the project’s complex design challenges by optimising computational tools. Our engineers developed bespoke, in-house BIM software to model and analyse numerous options for the structure in order to achieve the museum’s iconic torus shape.
By digitising the entire design and construction progress, the °®¶¹´«Ã½ team were able to take the client’s and architect’s vision for the museum and turn it into a reality.
The development of a 3D energy model of the building also enabled the interaction of all 12 disciplines in real time. This ensured sustainability was put at the heart of over 50 design decisions. As a result, our sustainability consultants helped ensure a 45% reduction in water use and total energy savings of 25%. This helped the project move towards achieving LEED platinum status.
The project has seen the full digitisation of our design and construction teams, which became essential to deliver such a complex project. There have been challenges along the way, but it’s been an incredibly rewarding project to work on. When I drive to site in the mornings, I still can’t quite believe it looks the way it does, and that we’ve actually built it!
