"Capital Gate will be one of a kind. Its graceful, asymmetric diagonal structure, known as a ‘diagrid’, supports the tilting external load of the building and we believe that this is the first building in the world to use a pre-cambered core."David Pringle, CEO, RMJM Asia and the Middle East

David Fisher is the creator of the world's first building in motion, the Dynamic Tower, which was post in previous post: Dynamic architecture. Here again a pdf file is available for your further information of the project description, plans, sections, images, detailing, and the diagrams demostrating how the rotating tower works.interior designersInterior Decorating
DYNAMIC TOWER, THE WORLD'S FIRST BUILDING IN MOTIONFirst Rotating Skyscraper to be Self Powered and Completely Prefabricated.
Fisher is the creator of the world's first building in motion, the Dynamic Tower heralds a new era of architecture buildings in motion that will challenge traditional architecture to become the symbol of a new philosophy that will change the look of our cities and the concept of urban living.

"From now on, buildings will have four dimensions, the fourth dimension is ‘Time' to become part of architecture," Dr. Fisher added. "Buildings in motion will shape the sky line of our cities."
By combining motion, green energy and efficient construction, the Dynamic Tower will change architecture as we know it, and will start a new era of Dynamic Living.interior designers

The Opus will appear to hover from the ground. Constructed of three separate towers the building will appear as a singlular unified whole, with a distinctive void. The interiors of which will be clad with a fully engineered curved class curtain wall to allow for eye-catching views into the void. Reflexive fritting patterns in the form of pixilated striations will be applied onto the glass facade to provide a degree of reflectivity and materiality to the cube while assisting in the reduction of solar grains inside the building.
"This is a building that challenges traditional concepts of office space,” said Hadid. “Not only will it be visually stunning, it will also be a workable space, and a place that allows every occupant to experience a better quality working environment, using the very latest technological advances."
"The Opus project combines art and performance with form and functionality, the strategic location, stunning exterior and the extensive range of facilities make the Opus project a strategic buy for potential investors who can expect considerable returns on their investment" said Mehdi Amjad, president and CEO of Omniyat Properties.Zaha Hadid architects

"After the proposal of Ground Zero tower that was proposing a bundle tower whereby the different tubes or fibres of the bundle were emerging from different horizontal. We had conceived a strong compositional device to interface the tower with the complex ground configurations. The filaments turned into the vertical and their shifting relative size and interplay afforded a mechanism to achieve the continuous differentiation of the tower along its vertical axis. The modulated space between the filaments of the bundle was exploited as orienting navigation space. Further, the possibility of mutual stabilization of the tubes means that the tower can reach a considerable height without imposing a dark and deep interior." said Patrik Schumacher.
Currently Zaha Hadid have exploited this concept of the bundle once more for the proposal of "Dancing Towers" in Dubai. The design for the Dancing Towers confirms the role of Business Bay Development at the very forefront of Dubai’s rapidly changing future. The three towers rise above the creek and project themselves as an icon for the surrounding developments and for the gulf region.

"The central axis of Abu Dhabi cultural district is a pedestrian corridor that stretches from the Sheikh Zayed National Museum toward the sea. This central axis interacts with the seafront promenade to generate a branching geometry where islands are formed, isolated, and translated into distinct bodies within the structure to house the main spaces of the center. This diagram of the interacting paths becomes the primary organization system for the building, making the movement of the public through the structure an integral design feature."
