The Children’s City project was originally conceived in answer to an international competition set by the Dubai Municipality and its desire to give the local community a facility, which would provide an educational learning centre, combined with play facilities.

The result was the largest hands-on children’s museum in the Middle East. The final museum incorporated three building blocks with galleries centering on science and culture, as well as performance spaces and a planetarium.

The ambitious project – six years in duration – was completed successfully, thanks to a close working relationship created between a highly international team, from the client in Dubai to MET Studio in the UK to exhibit fabricators and contractors based in Germany.
