7.1 CONTEXT
SITE SELECTION
The city chosen to place the project is Dubai.
Dubai is among the most distinctive cities in the
world. This results from the breathtaking scenery
that includes islands with palm trees and
a few of the tallest structures in the world. Its
futuristic technology, including its rapid hyperloop
vividly illustrates how Dubai, more than any
other city, embodies the future. Dubai is rapidly
developing, and as a result, it is one of the most
advanced cities in the world. Dubai is unique in
the world because of its diversity. Dubai is distinct
from other very varied cities throughout the
world like London and New York. The majority of
the foreign residents are first-generation immigrants
who have given the city a variety of cultural
traditions. In Dubai, there aren’t as many
museums as in other large cities which is why it
is the perfect candidate to potentially introduce a
museum like building.
Site selection is based on one of the most important
water ways in the country and is accessible
through land and sea allowing it to invite the
maximum amount of people. The Dubai creek is
historically significant in the region through its
old trade souks and the expansive project that
enabled it to loop around major areas in Dubai.
Dubai creek is the perfect starting ground for
choosing a site in places such as the three chosen
in the Dubai Creek Harbor, Safa Park, and
Jumeirah.
