The Museum of the Future is honored to host Architect Sahel Al Hiyari, Architect and Urban Designer, and winner of the Great Arab Minds Award in the Architecture and Design category, in the latest session of its Master Class Program.

With a distinguished career that bridges architecture, art, and urban design, Al Hiyari’s work is renowned for its intellectual depth and sensitivity to context. His approach explores how form, material, and meaning intertwine challenging conventional boundaries between permanence and change, logic and intuition.

In this exclusive Master Class, participants will explore:

Intersections of Circumstance and Meaning
An inquiry into how objects and spaces emerge from layered conditions — historical, material, and emotional. This discussion examines how designers operate at these intersections, allowing meaning to evolve through context and time.

The Silent Logic of Intuition
A reflection on intuition as the quiet foundation of creative thought. Participants will explore how the first impulse in design can hold the essence of a project — a truth that precedes analysis, frameworks, or formal reasoning.

On Longevity and Impermanence
A dialogue on the delicate balance between what endures and what transforms. Beyond sustainability, this session contemplates architecture’s role in carrying meaning across generations — embracing change while honoring continuity.

Designed for architects, designers, students, and creative professionals, this Master Class offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the Arab world’s leading architectural thinkers and practitioners, in an inspiring setting that bridges tradition and innovation.

The Master Class will be conducted in English.
