Challenge
The ADAA building was envisioned as a symbol of transparency and balance. The challenge was to design a space that accurately represented the vital and delicate functions it houses while also maintaining a strong visual presence. The design needed to convey harmony in both form and function, ensuring that the building's geometry and material choices worked cohesively to support the core functions and reflect the principles of balance.
Approach
The design concept focused on creating a harmonious and transparent space, making use of unique materials and thoughtfully integrating the different geometries and functions within the building. The approach aimed at:
Symbolizing Transparency and Balance: The use of carefully selected materials and design elements to create a sense of openness and equilibrium.
Functional Integration: The design aimed to blend the building’s diverse functions—entrances, podium, offices, and interior spaces—into a cohesive whole that maintained the architectural integrity of the concept.
Visual Harmony: Every detail, from the entrances to the interior layout, was planned to ensure that the design reflected the values of transparency and balance while fulfilling the functional needs of the building.
Impact
The ADAA building’s design enhances the experience of balance and transparency, reflecting the significance of its functions through carefully selected materials and well-integrated geometries. The building stands as a symbol of harmony, providing a conducive environment for its occupants while reinforcing the values of clarity, openness, and equilibrium at every level. The project successfully fuses aesthetic and functional excellence, contributing to Abu Dhabi’s architectural landscape with a design that is as innovative as it is meaningful.
