The city of Dubai is known around the world for its absurd opulence rising up from the middle of the desert, and the upcoming Biodomes Wildlife Conservation Center is a project that acknowledges the activities that are bound to accrue around such a place. The series of pavilions are designed to serve as a hub for eco-tourism with the aim of ensuring responsible human interaction with nature.
The Biodome Wildlife Conservation Center is planned to be built in the Al Hajar mountains, a biodiverse range just a few hours drive east of Dubai. Designed by Baharash Architecture for the UAE's Eco Resort Group, the series of doms have a low impact design that helps preserve nature while letting people experience it.
