Not just impossible skyscrapers, international business, extreme luxury, and entertainment for all. Culture is becoming increasingly important in Dubai (and in Abu Dhabi and the Emirates), as if knowledge, learning, and the preservation of traditions are another source of energy to fuel its vision of the future. The incredible Library, the latest stunning and daring work commissioned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and bearing his name, is a monument to the book, to all books, going beyond the world of the internet which leaves little room for other forms of information, and recovering the power, beauty, and depth of books and reading. And it does so in many ways: utilizing the latest technologies, with an infinite archive and a great exhibition that starts from the oldest and rarest manuscripts. Absolutely worth seeing.

In a town-state where the major expression of public art are the increasingly more daring and futuristic skyscrapers, in D3-the Design District specifically created to unite a community of architectural firms, furniture showrooms, avant-garde stores, the school of design and various creatives-once a year, in November, sculptures and installations appear everywhere in the neighborhood streets and add meaning to the open vision of the beauty, the new, the talented.

Leaning on green hills in Dubai's finance district, the majestic Museum of the Future has everyone's attention with its spectacular shape, the lightness of the covering, and the contrast between its horizonality and the surrounding vertical skylines. The inside is even more impressive…

This futuristic icon was created by an architect studio led by visionary Killa and Buro Happold using robotic technologies and algorithms. With a height of 77 meters, a surface of 30,000 square meters, and 7 floors, the Museum of the Future is a self-supporting building covered in stainless steel and glass shaped in soft lines. The structure hides many symbolic meanings: its shape resembles the eye, signifying the ability to see; its emptiness symbolizes the greater unknown that remains to be discovered; and its Arabic calligraphy (artwork of outstanding craftsmanship) encapsulates three mottoes by Sheik Mohammed bin...

Last night at the inauguration of the Italian Pavilion of ExpoDubai2020 among all the "authors" I was there to celebrate this large space without walls and full of meanings: beauty combined with technology, sustainability with craftsmanship, married recycling to architecture, the memory of the past with the eyes of the future. It is no coincidence that on the first day it was the most visited and immediately awarded pavilion.

Meanwhile: the ExpoDubai area is immense, 4.38 square km, the largest ever built, and 198 exhibitors, the highest number of nations ever seen. The space stolen from the desert and built in a few years brings imposing buildings, imaginative structures, plays of shadow and light obtained with the famous...

An “FuoriExpoDubai2020” to get to know each other and make yourself known, open new connections and markets, but also a laboratory of ideas to generate innovation and business, before and after the tour at the universal exhibition. This is the Innovation House project created by the Polytechnic Foundation and the Lombardy Region in the Pentahouse of the InterContinental Hotel in Dubai Marina. Re-furnished with the best brands of Italian design, Flavio Lucchini was asked to be the only artist to bear the sign of art with his works.

The history of Flavio Lucchini with Dubai dates back more than ten years. Born with a tourist trip, it is enriched by the fascination of that cell of the future that experiments with new architectural, urban planning and coexistence method, it affirms itself with the decision to spend a few months a year analyzing their lifestyles and, finally...

The contemporary art museum that contains art work of the private collection of Miucia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli has just opened. The beautiful, candid, disquieting “Torre” designed by Rem Khoolaas. The construction completed the artistic offer of Fondazione Prada in Milan placing a futuristic architecture in the complex of old and new buildings dedicated to contemporary art, already an unmissable destination of the cultural Milan. The floors of the tower have irregular heights, from 2,7 meters of the first floor up to 8 of the upper level and containing collections of different origins and inspirations. Every space overlooks to a breath-taking glass wall hunched forwards on emptiness, on an original panorama of the Milanese suburb that extends up the city’s limits. The most admired space, an unmissable fairy-tale, the enormous ..

Increasingly well-known as city of business, metropolis of the third millennium, place where anything can happen, spot where to experience the future, Dubai is growing at high speed. Artificial islands whole districts, infinite skyscrapers are built in record time, like the incredible crystal building by Santiago Calatrava, exceeding the 828 m high Burj Khalifa. With shops, apartments, villas, offices, various spaces that still need everything.

There is more than one analogy between the birth of the d3, the design district in Dubai and the Tortona Fashion and Design District. The two most innovative districts of the two capitals of creativity were created many years apart, thanks to the enlightenment and the passion of the first pioneers and investors, accomplishing in each metropolis effervescent and progressive urban hubs having an influence on the development of the two cities. As Superstudio has been able to start off the transformation of a suburban district of abandoned factories in the beating heart Milan, Tecom, headed by Amina Al Rustamani aimed for the rebirth and metamorphosis of a Dubai district dedicating it entirely to design, fashion and creativity. Strong development of all activities also thanks to the growing number of creatives of the regio..

There is no doubt that the Emirate’s most effervescent one is a futurebuilding laboratory where all challenges, trends and visions become true. Few visitors, beyond futuristic skyscrapers, technological and spectacular urban settlements, islands and artificial “palms”, get to know the most “soft” projects, and yet daring, people-oriented, projects focusing on both art and recycling/sustainability. In this sense, the area of Alserkal Avenue is very interesting, a quadrilateral old warehouses of metal sheet panels used in time to recover the necessary material and structures to build the city. It was thanks to the knowledgeable work by the Alserkal family, who for the last ten years has imagined and created a small district dedicated to creativity and intersection among artistic and industrial languages, unused storages have been ..
