Islamic Geometry in the Desert: Terraced Stone Volumes

Design a museum in the manner of I. M. Pei's Museum of Islamic Art — a cream limestone mass on its own artificial island, composed from stacked cubes rotated and cut back at each level so that the setbacks catch the desert sun and read as a veiled figure. Compose stepped cream limestone volumes rising to a hidden dome, a single tall arched window on the sea face, no ornament other than the geometry itself, palm-lined causeway, the Gulf and a distant skyline behind, hard bright desert light with sharp stepped shadows, low three-quarter view, 24mm lens, architectural photography, ultra photorealistic, 8K
