Visitors to the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce’s Art Gallery, Sharjah’s Art Foundation, will be visiting the emirate of Sharjah “The Rain Room”. The project aims to create a state of post-digital awareness and strengthen the relationship between man and the surrounding environment.
The project consists of a building with the main room where the rain is continuous and stops when the visitor steps in.
This project is completely environmentally friendly because it uses a small amount of treated water continuously in the room which is equipped with self-cleaning filters so as not to waste water.
The Chamber was visited by many officials and diplomats, such as Noura Al Kaabi, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development of the UAE, and the French Ambassador to the UAE, Ludovic Boy, who expressed his pleasure in experimenting and publishing pictures and videos through his accounts on social networking sites.
Visitors and tourists continue to learn about the experience of the Mitra Chamber, which makes the project a tourist attraction that moves the visitor from the viewing framework to the living experience.
