Rising of the New Moon

The Economic Moon

Financial crisis — not a hindrance for scale building of the landscape park Zabil. «The new Moon» becomes the central construction of the project. The construction in the form of a half moon — a symbol of force and energy of the countries of the East — will tell about today's prosperity of the United Arab Emirates.

The New Moon in Dubai

Monument interiors contain 5 floors. Everyone symbolizes one of five postulates of Islam: belief, a pray, mercy, mutual aid and pilgrimage. The design contains in itself a conference hall, cafe, children library and an information desk.

The New Moon Monument

The external part of a building decorated by the Arabian inscriptions represents a steel skeleton with emptiness. Such decision will give the chance to supervise illumination and air temperature on all platforms of the New Moon, will protect an interior from a direct sunlight and will provide free circulation of air streams. Inside there will be a special microclimate which will unload the central systems of safety. The project completely corresponds to ecological building standards. Solar batteries will be built in a building covering, and it considerably will lower energy consumption.

The Futuristic Structure

For the next addition to a sky of the city of Dubai architectural studio Graft Lab answers. The new object is called “Vertical Village”. This set of multifunctional buildings applies on LEED Gold Certificate.

The Architectural Generation

The architectural decision is optimized for climatic conditions of a place; the building minimizes heating from the sun and on-maximum uses possibilities for solar energy manufacture.
The building for itself creates a shade, in northern block, and on east and a West side is built in such a manner that penetration of long solar beams is complicated.

The Solar Energy in Dubai

Solar collectors in the south automatically rotate behind the sun. Crossing of intricate coal forms gives the chance to generate the internal block where pools are placed. The composite ensemble of separate buildings creates the integral project.

Skyscraper under an inclination

The main figures of this project — height of 160 metres, the budget of 1 336 million euro. Besides it, the tower is obviously inclined to effects. Capital Gate, the project of bureau RMJM on 4 degrees have overtaken the well-known tower in Pisa (18 degrees of an inclination against 14).

Art Tower in Dubai

The developer of the project is international exhibition company Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC).

“Capital Gate — fine result of a combination of accurate vision, creativity and adaptability to manufacture of the engineering decision. I am very happy with process and would like to express gratitude to all people involved in an embodiment of this surprising project during a life”, — the operating director of group ADNEC speaks Simon Horgan.

Tony Archibold from RMJM has declared, that the technologies applied in the given project, were not applied still anywhere and never in the world.

In a tower hotel Hyatt 5* which will offer visitors of 189 numbers, and also office areas will be located. On 18th floor of a tower it will be placed tea with an open terrace and pool, with a kind on a city and a gulf.

That the building has sustained a non-standard inclination, it is placed on a concrete facade by depth of 2,1 metres; the design represents architectural system in the form of a steel diagonal lattice, which leaves in the earth on 30 metres to provide stability to winds, gravitational and seismic.

The Highest Tower of the World

Burj Dubai Skyscraper

Form Burj Dubai reminds a stalagmite. A huge stalagmite. According to Wiki, since May, 19th, 2008 this highest construction in the world, from all existing and ever the existing.

The Kilometer Skyscraper

The exact definitive height of a structure is still unknown, and estimated makes 818 meters (more than 160 floors). We suggest you to look at Dubai even above than from height of the bird's flight and will present, what will be a shade from this almost kilometer giant.

«Ziggurat» — a future city

«Ziggurat» represents a tower from the parallelepipeds put against each other or the truncated pyramids.

Timelinks — the leading ecological company of the project, has chosen Dubai to create a viable city of the future.

The city in the form of a futuristic pyramid can carry out ability to live to one million person, using power of the nature. Ridas Matonis, general director Timelinks, has told: “Community «Ziggurat» completely provide the residing for the account of steam energy, a wind power and natural natural resources of district”.

Timelinks underlines, that the project does not destroy natural ecology of district as the base of buildings reclines all on 10% of a surface of the earth. Public and private agriculture not only will brighten up leisure to many inhabitants, but also will improve appearance of constructions. On all complex 360-degree transport messages will be laid, thus — cars remain not with affairs — in any point of constructions possibility very quickly will reach on foot.

The operating director of the International Institute of City Environment has told: "the General tendency of the Project «Ziggurat» — viability from the technical point of view. However we are set really till now by questions which do not give us rest, here for example — whether will suffice received in «Ziggurat» a foodstuff on all inhabitants and whether people in a mega-building in 2.3 sq. km will want to live?"

Timelinks has already patented the project and the technology included in the project and has addressed to the European union for grant granting on a technical part of the project.

The project of the highest tower in the world is promulgated

Developer company Nakheel in these days off has promulgated the plans for building of the highest tower in the centre of Dubai.

The building height will reach 1 kilometre and will eclipse itself the highest for today a tower in the world — Burj Dubai.

Nakheel the tower becomes a part of the project, named New Dubai which will be stretched more than on 270 hectares. And, predictably, will manage in 21 trillion of pounds sterling.

Representatives of company Nakheel have told, that instead of a unique kernel as it is accepted at building of skyscrapers, at their this building will be four, that is inspired by "traditional Islamic structures”.

Acting in the Near East the chief executive of company Chris O'Donnell has declared, that global credit crisis will not affect plans on tower erection. Also, he has told, that means for building will arrive under the following scheme — “earth presale inside and round a tower, and then project financing”.

The message on the given project is dated for beginning Cityscape 2008 event in Dubai. On this action it is expected to involve more than 60000 visitors from 150 countries. The exhibition will include more than 1500 exhibitors.

2008 Cityscape (Dubai)

Michael Schumacher's Tower

Architects Chris Bosse and Tobias Wallisser — representatives Laboratory for Visionary Architecture Asia Pacific (LAVA) on only opened world event — Cityscape 2008 event in Dubai — the grandiose project of the present — tower Michael Schumacher — the world champion in racing sports Formula-1.
On seventh of October in Dubai a legend Formula-1 Michael Schumacher has presented the first of seven towers which will be constructed worldwide. Thanks to the unique concept developed Joachim Swensson, the founder of brand PNYG:COMPANY, the building represents firm architecture of new generation.

The Dubai Tower Project

“The tower marks itself a withdrawal from traditional architectural thinking”, have declared Chris Bosse and Tobias Wallisser — authors of such known bulks, as the Water cube in Beijing and Museum Mercedes-Benz in Germany.

“This project unites all our previous experience — the project of a museum for Mercedes-Benz, with the spatial concept and last novelties of digital design, or technology of water cubed, in the Peking project, with creation of the tremendous atmosphere developed by deliberate replacement of a molecular science, architecture and phenomenology”, — Chris Bosse speaks.
Inspired by the geometrical organization of the most ordinary snowflake and aerodynamics of racing cars of the Formula-1, the tower reflects speed, dynamics of liquids, the future technologies and the natural structural organizations simultaneously. Instead of simple imitation of the form, architects have taken grace and unpredictability, highly effective structure and intriguing spaces from the nature.

Trend Technology of the Modern Skyscrapers

“Unique cooperation with Michael Schumacher has given us new ideas. The technology, accuracy, speed, grace, were the big source of inspiration for design. On analogies to a Formula-1 repair shop, tower building it will be executed with attraction of a considerable quantity of highly skilled experts. In this sense architects will take a place of the driver in competitions Formula-1″, adds Alexander Riec.

The project termination is planned for June, 2011.
