A video on the 'Museum of the Future' in Dubai, the latest addition to UAE’s collection of flashy architecture.
The ‘Museum of the Future’ is located in Dubai and is touted as the ‘world’s most beautiful building’. It is located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the city’s main highway. The museum is a seven-story hollow elliptical structure. Its facade is made out of stainless steel and covered with Arabic calligraphy quotes.
According to the museum’s curators, the circular structure represents humanity. While the green mound represents the earth, the void refers to the unknown future. It was designed by architect Shaun Killa of Killa Design and engineered by Buro Happold engineering consultancy.
The structure opens a new path away from the high-rise buildings that dominate Dubai’s skyline.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
