Construction begins on Asymptote’s Strata Tower in Abu Dhabi, UAE

Abu Dhabi, UAE—The Strata Tower, a forty-story, luxury residential building designed by architects Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture of Asymptote, has broken ground on Al Raha Beach and is now under construction. The tower is scheduled for completion in early 2011 and, at a height of 160 meters, will be the tallest building in the Al Dana precinct, the centerpiece of Aldar Properties PJSC’s prestigious Al Raha Beach development. The project and development was showcased at Cityscape Abu Dhabi from May 13–15, 2008. The landmark Strata Tower is designed to signify a dignified and important future for Abu Dhabi and the region.

As a signature architectural statement, the Strata Tower’s articulate, striking physical presence seeks to encapsulate meaning through the use of abstract form drawn from both local cultural landscapes and motifs and dynamic forces of global influence. The Strata Tower’s design utilizes primarily mathematical means in its design to achieve both a poetic, as well as highly pertinent, architecture for the UAE, a region in flux with ambitions for continued rapid growth.

The Strata Tower’s innovative form was created using state-of-the-art, advanced parametric modeling tools and techniques from the onset of the design process to the production phase. The building’s design emerged from various influences and factors including economies of production and fabrication with special consideration given to environmental sustainability. Sophisticated computer modeling and tools were utilized to produce the building’s intelligent, environmentally responsive louver system that is held in a unique, cantilevered exoskeleton structure. The exoskeleton veils the entire tower in a shimmering curvilinear form set against Abu Dhabi’s surrounding desert and sea, embracing and reflecting the ever-changing light and atmospheres that enfold and contain it.

As architecture the Strata Tower resists being an overt, singular gesture reliant on a set meaning or association. Rather, the mathematical properties used, not unlike those in the manifestation of the arabesque or abstract calligraphy, give the building its supreme elegance, prominence and potential for meaning and significance.

Petronas Twin Tower Exterior and Interior Architecture Design

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:01:14 +0000

Petronas Twin Tower Exterior and Interior Architecture Design: These are the pictures of exterior and interior building of Petronas towers. Petronas towers are two twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which has become the world’s tallest buildings seen from the height of main entrance to the highest structure. The tower was designed by César Pelli, an Argentine-American architect. The 88 floor tower was finished in 1998. The design reflects the roots of Islamic culture in Malaysia. The design of the tower uses a common motif in Islamic art since the Islamic culture is typical of Malaysia. On October 17, 2003, Taipei 101 took the record for the twin towers.

There is a bridge (skybridge) Between the two towers, which connects the two towers at floor 41 and 42. This bridge is the purpose of tourists who come to the tower Petronas to visit. Limited number of tickets (about 1200 pieces) are provided for the tourists who visit this place . In addition, the bridge is also used for evacuation in an emergency situation in a tower so that residents can move to a safe tower. Like other high buildings, Petronas Tower can sway in the wind, so the bridge construction is not rigidly mounted on both towers.

There is Suria KLCC which is one of the busiest shopping centers in Malaysia and there are Restaurants that provide a jogging track, playing pool, and playground for children, demonstrating the pond with a symphonic fountain. In addition, there is also the Petronas Philharmonic Orchestra.
