Zayed National Museum

Zayed National Museum is designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Lord Norman Foster of Foster + Partners and stands as a landmark within the Saadiyat Cultural District. Zayed National Museum derives its purpose from the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Founding Father of the United Arab Emirates and is recognised for its five soaring steel towers inspired by the wing of a falcon in flight.

CIG engineered and fabricated the wing edge profiles as fully 3D-formed, double-curved steel skin plates, using dedicated templates at our factory in Groningen to shape, verify, and pre-assemble each plate with full geometric control before shipment. The completed elements were then transported to Dubai for final assembly and finishing at Eversendai’s facilities, supporting the delivery of this unique cultural landmark.
