Yes, another week, another look at an amazing architectural design for Dubai. This tower has been conceived by A-Cero and is planned to be built on the Dubai waterfront. Named The Wave Tower, it will rise 92 floors to 370 meters tall. A-Cero says:
“It stands like a stylized stem with a light torsion, creating the elegant movement that characterizes the form of the shape of the building. The base has the form of a pointed arch with smooth bends, imitating the waves in the Gulf Sea.
The structure is solved with “V” form unions between the different parts in the plan view, its center space is occupied central core by the installations and elevators. Interior sky gardens are present in all the common zones, distributed on different floors, improving the air quality and working as natural temperature regulators.

i find it interesting that we can/will question an advertising agency for pimping Coke…but we pour praise on an architect who’s design and building is funded by oil money.
interesting indeed.
