I pass by those pineapple-like buildings everyday to work. Seeing them constructed little by little everyday and realizing that all of this wasn't just for show is amazing.
Part-I Dear Commentators, The Client's brief requested a building to be rooted to the a) culture, b) environment of the locality in a c) contemporary fashion while d) providing the city of Abu Dhabi with a unique landmark. The mechanised screen is a sophisticated system (c) inspired from a traditionally used feature in the Region (a) to shade buildings from excessive solar gain and control glare (b) - offering the building a unique identity and look like no other in the world (d).
Part-II Dear Commentators, The main performance criteria priority was improving user-comfort by providing a better working environment for the occupants. This was achieved by 1) reducing cooling loads (due to shading) where mechanical air-flow is barely heard or felt, 2) reducing the need for artificial light by admitting healthier natural diffused light, 3) providing better visibility / views and amenity space (sky gardens) for the occupants, 4) entertainment when watching the units moving!
Part-III Dear Commentators, Saving money or energy were not main priorities behind the design, though improving user-comfort lent itself to a more energy and money saving building in that respect. The building has a fluid form designed to maximise volume and minimise envelope area hence minimising wind forces and energy exchange and the need for cooling loads accordingly. The honeycomb structure is highly efficient and robust - used for the first time on towers.
Wrestling is A example of what I'm saying I some time watch wrestling vedio an give my feed back is to how it could be better it doe's not mean that I don't like wrestling it this mean that I'm sharing my ideal that are relevent to the vedio that why you tube allow comment.

That is some cool stuff.
Solar panels would be smart with lotts of tint on wimdows
Ok I literally went to Dubai when it was summer it was fogging
How about covering the building with floweing vines which gets watered from kitchen and washrooms recycled water?
It stinks, and get mossy,
@@Masterpeace0_0 ok
cooling your room using fan ?
it A vedio on you tube you sorpose to watch it an then comment an say what you opinion is on it so long is you do not troll.
Wrestling is A example of what I'm saying I some time watch wrestling vedio an give my feed back is to how it could be better it doe's not mean that I don't like wrestling it this mean that I'm sharing my ideal that are relevent to the vedio that why you tube allow comment.
I'm not knocking it but this style of building is this not for me.
