What happens when creative form and function meet searing 115 degree desert heat?
“Architecture that is not routine or safe as we know it in our world,” says Behr Champana,AIA,vice president of Atlanta-based TVS Architects,International Division.
TVS Architects was commissioned last month by Dubai Properties,the leading real estate developer in the United Arab Emirates (UAE),to design a landmark 650,000-square-foot,51-story office skyscraper to be located at the main entrance of Business Bay,a 64-million-square-foot “city within a city” development in Dubai that will serve as the new central business district of the Emirate with 230 commercial and residential towers and $17 billion in investments.At its center will be Vision Tower,which will be “eternally lighted” as the Business Bay beacon.
Vision Tower will be unique due to its canted and bent-glass façade,which will illuminate and reflect light throughout the new city.Dubai Properties hopes to make Vision Tower an architectural icon.With an expected completion date in May 2007,it will be Dubai Properties’ first standalone office tower.
There's no business like Bay business
To get a sense of what Vision Tower will represent,it’s helpful to know a little bit about Business Bay and Dubai.
Dubai is 1,510 square miles and located in the Middle East off the Persian Gulf.It is the second largest emirate—or political territory—in the UAE,which makes up part of the Arabian Peninsula.The official language is Arabic,but English is widely spoken.Although the country has the third-largest oil reserves in the world,the Dubai government wants to diversify from a trade-based,oil-reliant economy to one oriented towards commercial,service,and tourism businesses,making its real estate very valuable and attracting many corporate development projects.
Business Bay is part of a master plan launched by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Minister of Defense.The Crown Prince wanted to continue his father’s vision,says Champana,of diversified “cities” that would develop the Dubai economy.The establishment of Dubai Internet City in October 2000,Dubai Media City in January 2001,the Dubai International Financial Centre in February 2002,and the current development of Dubai Healthcare City are all the concept of Mohammed and his father.“The Crown Prince wants to put Dubai back on the map and put it in the forefront of the Arab world in terms of development,tourism,and trade,” explains Champana.“He seeks out different developers and architects worldwide to foster creative ideas for his new cities to create a new era of economic and job opportunities in the region.The Dubai motto is,‘build it and they will come,’ and so far that has worked very well for them.And American architects are getting an excellent reception there.”
