MVRDV imagines mixed-use Pixel development in Abu Dhabi as an oyster

El estudio internacional de arquitectura MVRDV ha finalizado Pixel, un proyecto urbanístico de uso mixto en Abu Dhabi (EAU) diseñado para cultivar la comunidad y la creatividad. Situado en Reem Island, una isla natural situada a 600 metros de la costa de Abu Dhabi, Pixel es el primer proyecto que se realiza en el nuevo barrio «Makers District» de la isla. La urbanización está definida por siete torres que rodean una plaza comunitaria y se imagina como una ostra. Los motivos abstractos de las fachadas exteriores de cada torre aluden a las conchas de las ostras. Alrededor de la plaza, las torres se «descomponen» para formar terrazas y ventanales que parecen píxeles, con pantallas de s... Más

The Mosque is one of the first in the UAE to be designed by a female architect – Principal Architect and Founder Sumaya Dabbagh of Dabbagh Architects.

Forsan Central

Forsan Central inspiration has been taken from a bamboo forest to create a “Garden in the City” theme. The natural reference has been adopted playfully on the building’s distinctive façade through a sequence of vertical green and brown coated aluminium pipes that recall the image of a forest. It is also present inside the building with cafés, bars and restaurants immersed in a green park under one of the region’s largest geodetic skylights, that will ultimately give the whole project an outdoor feel.
