The Buhais Geology Park was designed to accommodate exhibition spaces to present the region’s exceptional prehistoric and geological significance, with educational spaces for locals and researchers.

The Buhais Geology Park lies south-east of the city of Sharjah in a region of exceptional prehistoric and geological significance. The project was designed to accommodate a series of exhibition spaces to present the region’s significant geological phenomena, with educational spaces provided for the interaction with local guides and researchers.

The building consists of five interconnected pods with their geometry inspired by fossilised urchins found on site. Each pod houses a different function and an outdoor trail links them with the natural rock formations and ancient burial tombs present.
