LOUVRE ABU DHABI MUSEUM, CULTURAL DISTRICT OF SAAYIDAT (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)

 

Museum complex located at the Cultural District of Saadiyat and formed by pavilions, plazas, alleyways and canals which evoke the image of a city floating on the sea, inspired by the traditional Arabic architecture. Special attention should be paid to a 180 m diameter dome (which seems to be suspended in mid air) consisting of interlaced patterns which develop a mashrabiya giving rise to a rain of light that floods the Museum.
