Exciting New Cultural Centre Planned For Dubai
Zaha Hadid Architects have unveiled designs for a new opera house and cultural centre in in the new Seven Pearls district of Dubai. The development will be built on an island in Dubai Creek, just off the Seven Pearls mainland, and will accommodate a state of the art opera house, arts gallery, theatre, performing arts school and themed hotel.
- The opera house will seat 2,500
- The theatre will seat 800
- The arts gallery will have 5000m2 of exhibition space
- The hotel will accommodate guests in a 6 star setting
The design will house all of the facilities within a single structure with a gentle winding form which is both a part of the landscape yet very much a distinct element on the skyline. The centre consists of two peaks correspond to the opera house and the theatre evoking images of sand dunes or mountains. The surrounding landscape forms build up gently to the main building and will consist of open parkland as well as parking facilities and a monorail station which will be integrated into the landscape.
