The eco-friendly Symphony Tower is planned for the city of Dubai in the UAE. All the terraces will have special protection from the hot desert sun so they can be used all year round. It will be located a short distance from downtown Dubai which is home to some of the city’s renowned landmarks, cultural venues and shopping precincts. The building is said to draw inspiration from the distinctive three-dimensional geometries and detailed embroidery of traditional Emirati crafts of weaving with metallic threads called Al Sadu and Talli. The exoskeleton was designed so that it appears to transform in tone and depth as the sun moves across the sky throughout the day. A variety of external spaces throughout the 42-storey building provide outdoor living areas for each apartment. The Symphony Tower has been designed by London-based Zaha Hadid Architects for local development company Imtiaz.
