    Building for Art’s Sake World-class museums no longer stake their reputations on art and artifacts alone; the museum building itself must be viewed as an architectural treasure. Along with surging visitor numbers and swelling collections, this trend is driving a spate of major museum projects in New York, New York, USA; London, England; and theEd ge Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Te projects expand, The Louvre Abu Dhabi, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, is move or build new branches of some of the world’s leading muse- slated for a December 2015 opening. ums—and face challenges ranging from unusual building sites to allegations of labor abuses. Te €400 million Louvre Abu Dhabi designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, slated for a December 2015 opening, and the US$800 million Guggenheim Abu Dhabi designed by U.S. architect Frank Gehry, scheduled to open in 2017, are prime examples. Branches of the original Guggenheim and Louvre museums in New York and Paris, France, respectively, the proj- ects are central components of the UAE government’s planned “cultural district” on Saadiyat Island. Because the two museums will be surrounded by water on three sides, engineering hurdles are substantial. Te largest challenge facing Saadiyat’s three museum proj- ects—the Zayed National Museum is scheduled to open in 2016, with assistance from the British Museum in London—is putting to rest international concern about widespread abuses of migrant workers, including poor living conditions, unpaid wages and forced labor. “I therefore call on the UAE government, but also on all companies involved in the Saadiyat project—including [the] Louvre, British Museum and Guggenheim—to ensure that any form of mistreatment is addressed and that all migrants can fully enjoy their human rights,” Barbara Lochbihler, chair of the European Parliament’s subcom- mittee on human rights, said in December 2013.

  • Louvre Abu Dhabi's Children's Museum to Reopen with New Interactive Art Experience
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 06/16/2021 4:21:12 PM LOUVRE ABU DHABI Press Release Louvre Abu Dhabi's Children's Museum to Reopen with New Interactive Art Experience Opening on 18 June, 'Emotions!' invites children and families to explore their feelings through an immersive, multimedia art exhibition Abu Dhabi, 9 June 2021: Louvre Abu Dhabi's Children's Museum is set to reopen with a fascinating exhibition where children will be able to identify and explore emotions through artwork and immersive experiences. Launching on 18 June, the Emotions!: The New Art Adventure exhibition will feature 10 artworks and multiple interactive stations to familiarise children with identifying emotions - an essential milestone in a child's development. Running until 2023, Emotions! will combine entertainment and education across three floors of immersive experiences, gamification, and interactive play areas, encouraging children aged four to 10 to learn about different emotions and how to spot them. Children begin their art 'adventure' at the exhibition by creating a personal profile and getting a wristband to collect points through activities and challenges. Visitors are first introduced to artworks from varying periods and geographical locations through a series of observation games, discovering the hidden details and stories behind each work. Interactive games and activities will include various digital and touchless experiences, in addition to a workshop area with self-led tutorials - virtually presented by three young Emirati artists - on how to represent emotions through different art activities such as drawing, collage and 2D sculpture. Children will learn how emotions can also be expressed through body language via a touchless interactive game using movement recognition.

    Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable, Arab Capital City By Alamira Reem Bani Hashim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair Professor Michael Southworth Professor Greig Crysler Summer 2015 © Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Abstract Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable Arab Capital City by Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair The overarching objective of this research project is to explore and document the urban history of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is organized as a comparative study of urban planning and design processes in Abu Dhabi during three major periods of the city’s development following the discovery of oil: (1) 1960-1966: Sheikh Shakhbut Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule (2) 1966-2004: Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule; and (3) 2004-2013: Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s rule. The intention of this study is to go beyond a typical historical narrative of sleepy village-turned-metropolis, to compare and contrast the different visions of each ruler and his approach to development; to investigate the role and influence of a complex network of actors, including planning institutions, architects, developers, construction companies and various government agencies; to examine the emergence and use of comprehensive development plans and the policies and values underlying them; as well as to understand the decision-making processes and design philosophies informing urban planning, in relation to the political and economic context of each period.
