The restructuring of the Abu Dhabi sea port into a recreational area, offers the opportunity to redevelop a land strip that stretches between a main road and a sea front. The site has been partially occupied by an abandoned cemetery and a hospital that will be demolished. The master planning of four varied proposals with lattice structure, land art, for the cemetery and a 5 story plinth that accommodates a mesh of courtyard office buildings, a shopping mall and a new maternity hospital. A hotel adjacent to the hospital ward and high-rise housing blocks compose the vertical elements on the base. A 45 story luxury hotel located at the cross roads of two urban axes represents the highlight of the complex. |
