A circular skyscraper is located on one of the coastlines in Abu Dhabi. The building was commissioned back in 2010, but the architects are systematically returning to its design.

The structure was assembled in such a way that the glass, walls and supports form the appearance of a biconvex lens. Although, according to the idea of ​​the architects, it should have turned out to be a shell.

The type of this mollusk for the prototype of the building was not chosen by chance. After all, on the coast of the sea there should be a connection with it. Including in structures.

However, during the construction of such a complex structure, certain difficulties were observed. The architects were worried about the stability and reliability of the future skyscraper.

But the use of modern technologies made it possible to resolve these difficulties and make the facility energy efficient. Solar panels placed on the façade maximize the benefits of natural lighting. Also, the skyscraper was equipped with a vacuum system for collecting garbage and sewage.

There are many high-rise buildings of unusual design in Abu Dhabi. Aldar HQ is one of them, which attracts hundreds of tourists every year. Many famous musicians, actors, models and bloggers often stay here.

During the construction of any structure, specialists resort to an impressive list of materials and tools. You can find such devices on the OXO website in the appropriate section - measuring instruments, consumables, components, etc.
