...um den aufregenden Tower in Dubai Creek Harbour

Die Skyline von Dubai ist um ein legendäres Bauwerk reicher: Emaar Properties hat das Design und die architektonischen Besonderheiten eines atemberaubenden Hochhauses in Dubai Creek Harbour bekannt gegeben.
Scheich Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vizepräsident der VAE und Premierminister und Herrscher von Dubai, entschied sich aus vielen internationalen Vorschlägen für den Entwurf des spanisch-schweizerischen, neofuturistischen Architekten Santiago Calatrava Valls.
Der Tower wird im Herzen von Dubai Creek Harbour stehen, einem 6 Quadratkilometer großen Stadtteil, der zehn Minuten vom Dubai International Airport entfernt ist.
Er befindet sich am Dubai Creek in der Nähe des Naturschutzgebiets Ras al Khor, das unter dem Schutz der Ramsar-Konvention der UNESCO steht.
Mohamed Alabbar, Vorstandsvorsitzender von Emaar Properties, kommentierte: "Der Tower ist unser Tribut an die positive Einstellung, die Energie und den Optimismus, den Dubai und die VAE feiern.
Er wird im Zuge der Vorbereitungen auf die Expo 2020 in Dubai der Ort sein, bei dem die Welt zu Besuch ist, um das Leben zu genießen und zu feiern. Mit dem Tower bauen wir ein aufregendes Bauwerk mit langfristigem wirtschaftlichen Wert."
Fadel Al Ali, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Dubai Holding, kommentierte: "Wir sind stolz darauf, dass unser Gemeinschaftsprojekt mit Emaar der Stadt Dubai ein neues Wahrzeichen bescheren wird.
Die Präsentation des Tower-Entwurfs ist ein wichtiger Schritt. Er wird in einem der begehrtesten Wohn- und Touristengebiete Dubais einen bislang noch nie dagewesenen Lebensstil ermöglichen."
Santiago Calatrava Valls kommentierte: "Mein Team und ich haben für das Projekt unser Bestes gegeben. Den Zuschlag dafür erhalten zu haben ist uns eine große Ehre.
Die Zusammenarbeit mit Emaar Properties macht das Ganze sogar noch aufregender. Der Entwurf enthält einen deutlichen Verweis auf die klassische Kunst der Vergangenheit und Kultur des Ortes und ist dabei eine großartige technische Errungenschaft."
Das Design des Towers wurde von der Lilie inspiriert und vermittelt das Bild eines Minaretts, das ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der islamischen Kultur ist. Das schlanke, stielartige Gebäude dient als Analogie für das Gebäude, das über Kabel mit dem Boden verbunden ist.
Die Krönung des Bauwerks wird der Pinnacle Room sein, der eine 360-Grad-Aussicht auf die Stadt und darüber hinaus bieten wird, wie man sie noch nie gesehen hat.
Die VIP-Gartenplattform wurde in Anlehnung an die Hängenden Gärten von Babylon konzipiert. Die architektonische Meisterleistung des Bauwerks sind jedoch die drehbaren, nach außen gerichteten Balkone. In dem Turm wird es ein Boutique-Hotel für Besucher geben.
