TECHNOSPHERE OF DUBAI by Sara Zapico Linares 3rd ESO C

MAIN FEATURES:

The concept of this iconic building for the Techno sphere of Dubai, is a building which will reflect the state of Planet Earth in the current and future times. Planet Earth embodies the very essence of the ecosystem that we live in.

The Techno sphere has several key technology systems and architectural spaces that will 

enable the building to generate a self breathing environment as well as generate electricity 
from solar power to supplement the energy needs of the building.

LOCATION OF THE BUILDING AND STYLE

 

 

The Aldar HQ building is located in Raha Beach, a new city on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi.

Its architectural style is called structural expressionism also known as High-Tech modernism.

This style is an advanced modernism in which buildings display their structural elements inside and out. Structures in this style tend to have a metallic appearance.

The Aldar HQ is the first circular skyscraper in the world. The construction was completed using a steel diagonal grid to sustain the circular shape and then covered with glass panels.

Marwan Zgheib decided to create a simple building that would possess the calm and ideal   beauty but also have expressive power.

MY OWN DRAWING

OPINION

In my personal opinion, this sphere is a huge and innovating idea because it is an eco-friendly building which helps to reduce the amount of pollution we create regularly, and show us that, if we were able to produce all buildings yhis way, we will conserve our world for longer
