‘JOURNEY OF THE PIONEERS’ BY ATELIER BRÜCKNER OFFERS NEW SPATIAL NARRATIVES WITHIN THE MUSEUM OF THE FUTURE.
sitting as an iconic building completed by killa design, the museum of the future is one of dubai’s latest attractions and is quickly making headlines at a global scale. within the museum, ATELIER BRÜCKNER has designed ‘journey of the pioneers’, an impressive exhibition stretching over three floors and 3,000 square meters. every level offers a fully immersive experience, with powerful spatial narratives focusing on a vision of tomorrow: life in space, bioengineering, the regeneration of damaged ecosystems, and individual wellbeing.
A FULLY IMMERSIVE + CHOREOGRAPHED SEQUENCE OF INSTALLATIONS ELEVATED BY UNIQUE MATERIAL CHOICES
ATELIER BRÜCKNER organized ‘journey of the future’ as a choreographed sequence of installations, with sounds and scents that take visitors away from everyday banalities — immersing them instead in a tangible, futuristic world where everyone has a role to play. further elevating that sensory experience are guiding lights and unique material choices featured on every exhibition level.
level 5 presents the ‘OSS-hope’, a space station context with walls clad in 3D-printed meshes that appear to be made from asteroid-mined material. the walls of the HEAL institute on level 3 comprise sustainable rattan palm, while clay engulfs the ALWAHA surfaces on level 4. more than twenty planning experts, visionary technologists, artists, and consultants were involved in the overall development of the ‘journey of the pioneers’ show.
