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.
"Creative melting pot between Italian heritage, UAE traditions and international influences..." is how Marangoni, among the best-known and most prestigious expanding fashion and design schools, puts it to introduce itself in Dubai with a new educational institute that aims to enhance creative talents locally and establish new cultural paths. An ambitious and well-modulated program. Giulio Cappellini, the school's consultant and an undisputed personality in design, will attend at the Nov. 9th opening.
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...
