A central atrium connects these spaces, with the skyline defined by ten sculptural cones—nine clad in stainless steel mesh and one finished in onyx and glass. These cones, reaching up to 88 metres high, serve functional purposes beyond their visual appeal, capturing breezes and providing shade through passive cooling methods suited for the desert environment. The complex also includes a dedicated art and technology centre, specialized educational facilities for children, archives, a research library, and a state-of-the-art conservation lab.
