What shape is the building of the Museum of the Future on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. A torus clad in stainless steel with Arabic calligraphy
- Step 1: The Museum of the Future is housed in a torus-shaped building designed by the UAE architectural firm Shaun Killa Design, on Sheikh Zayed Road, Trade Centre 2, Dubai. Answer: A torus clad in stainless steel with Arabic calligraphy. The shell uses composite panels clad in stainless steel, with windows forming Arabic quotes from Dubai's ruler, and the UAE government opened the museum on 22 February 2022. Why not the others: A geodesic sphere on concrete tripods, a stepped ziggurat of dark glass and a Gothic cathedral spire don't fit.
