We’re spotlighting Zayed National Museum, which is set to open on 3 December 2025. Zayed National Museum celebrates the UAE’s rich history and Sheikh Zayed’s legacy, with a design inspired by the region’s climate and culture. The towers act as a wind tower in reverse, cool air is drawn through a duct buried in the ground and exhaled through the solar thermal chimneys, driven by thermal stack effect – creating a truly unique and sustainable symbol for the nation. Stay tuned for more updates. Zayed National Museum | متحف زايد الوطني #Architecture #Design #Museum #Culture #ZayedNationalMuseum #UAE
Extraordinary…can’t wait to visit
The concept of a reversed wind tower, with buried ducting and solar-driven chimneys, feels genuinely smart and forward-thinking. Really curious to see how this concept comes to life as the opening gets closer!
A remarkable fusion of culture, climate intelligence, and architectural poetry. The Zayed National Museum already feels like a living narrative where form, function, and legacy breathe together. The reversed wind tower concept is brilliant: sustainability not as a feature but as an integrated cultural logic. A space designed to cool, elevate, and teach at the same time becomes more than a museum it becomes a national gesture. Excited to see how this landmark reshapes the dialogue between heritage, innovation, and human experience.
