    Look: UAE projects among shortlist for World Architecture Festival 2021

    The World Architecture Festival (WAF) has unveiled its prestigious shortlist for 2021, which spans two main categories, Completed Buildings and Future Projects and contains more than 400 entries from around the globe. The winners will be announced during the three-day festival in December in Lisbon, Portugal.

    Zayed National Museum, Abu Dhabi nominated under the Future Projects category. Conceived as a monument and memorial to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding president of the UAE, the Zayed National Museum will be the centrepiece of the Saadiyat Island Cultural District and will showcase the history, culture and, more recently, the social and economic transformation of the Emirates. Architecturally, the aim has been to combine a highly efficient, contemporary form with elements of traditional Arabic design and hospitality to create a museum that is sustainable, welcoming and culturally of its place. Celebrating Sheikh Zayed’s legacy and love of nature, the museum is set within a landscaped garden, based on a timeline of his life. Image Credit: WAM

It was commissioned in honour of the Sharjah World Book Capital 2019 title by UNESCO and is the living legacy of the promises made then, namely to continue to promote reading and ease access to knowledge to all members of society and, in doing so, become a progressive society that are the catalysts of harmonious coexistence. The aim is to promote reading and ease access to knowledge by redefining the library and cultural centre concept. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News

    Qasr Al Hosn park scape in Abu Dhabi, by CEBRA Architecture, was shortlisted in the Landscape category. The landscape project reconnects Abu Dhabi’s important heritage site surrounding the Qasr Al Hosn Fort with the modern metropolis and its inhabitants by introducing a distinctive locally rooted urban landscape aesthetic that bridges Emirati heritage, nature and modern city life. The landscape design implements sustainable initiatives that build on and specifically adapt to the site, climate and culture. Image Credit: World Architecture Festival/CEBRA
