The art of design and architecture and its importance in our present and future
The podcast "Art in Two Countries" with Zainab Al-Hashemi discusses the concept of fine arts, which includes painting, sculpture, music, and even poetry. Fine arts can also extend to other industries like craftsmanship, which involves creating products that are beneficial to everyone and are made with artistic methods. The beautiful art delves into the world of design and architecture, where designs hold deeper meanings beyond just beautiful buildings and unique designs. In this episode, Zainab talks about the Museum of the Future in Dubai, a building shaped like an eye that symbolizes seeing into the future. The museum combines the past and future, changing the concept of traditional museums by using innovative technologies. The building reflects a new concept in Sharjah's architecture, boasting Arabic language and featuring three quotes from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, engraved in calligraphy. The Museum of the Future stands out from other museums as a gateway to the future, created by designers and artists who are optimistic and ambitious about the future. It aims to inspire and empower people, uncovering the impact of art on humanity and paving the way for a different future filled with cultural, philosophical, and social perspectives. The museum represents tolerance, coexistence, and the different future viewpoints. It envisions a renewed future for the UAE and the Arab world, shaping the future generations and calling us to dream and work towards a tangible reality.
