Skyscraper under an inclination

The main figures of this project — height of 160 metres, the budget of 1 336 million euro. Besides it, the tower is obviously inclined to effects. Capital Gate, the project of bureau RMJM on 4 degrees have overtaken the well-known tower in Pisa (18 degrees of an inclination against 14).

Art Tower in Dubai

The developer of the project is international exhibition company Abu Dabi (Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC).

“Capital Gate — fine result of a combination of accurate vision, creativity and adaptability to manufacture of the engineering decision. I am very happy with process and would like to express gratitude to all people involved in an embodiment of this surprising project during a life”, — the operating director of group ADNEC speaks Simon Horgan.

Tony Archibold from RMJM has declared, that the technologies applied in the given project, were not applied still anywhere and never in the world.

In a tower hotel Hyatt 5* which will offer visitors of 189 numbers, and also office areas will be located. On 18th floor of a tower it will be placed tea with an open terrace and pool, with a kind on a city and a gulf.

That the building has sustained a non-standard inclination, it is placed on a concrete facade by depth of 2,1 metres; the design represents architectural system in the form of a steel diagonal lattice, which leaves in the earth on 30 metres to provide stability to winds, gravitational and seismic.

Bouquet on a finger

Designer Hafsteinn Juliusson from the fantastic country of Iceland has thought up a collection of jewels with the inlaid grass. Giving such product favourite, it is possible to think up a beautiful legend — that for this purpose that the ring has remained, it demands careful and a permanent care — as well as your best feelings…

Live Growing Jewelry

The collection has received the corresponding name — Growing Jewelry, each subject is made manually of silver. The designer guarantees, that, at appropriate leaving, the grass remains green within 12 weeks.

According to the author, this project — redefinition of actual values, a certain hybrid of gardening, a fashion and a life, a live organism.

The collection is intended for inhabitants of the big cities who become more and more torn off by nature. Jewels from a collection will be accessible in the limited series.

Over a city high overcast is expected

This cloud not idle time, it power: the command of leading architects and engineers has shown to the world the concept of unique structure which becomes a symbol of Olympic games of 2012 year.

Inflatable cloud

The easy transparent tower comes to an end with a cloud consisting of inflatable spheres at top. This design will help to create amusing 3D-show with the sky of London.

Carlo Ratti, the representative of one of leaders of the project (MIT SENSEable Cities Laboratory), has described the Cloud as “the new form of collective expression and experience, a symbol of a new epoch: it is a sign, rather than than simply material”.

Artist Tomas Saraceno, designer Alex Haw, expert Joerg Schleich also have entered into a command, engineering group Arup, landscape architect Agence Ter, and also company Google, writer Umberto Eco and professor Antoni Muntadas.

The size of a cloud depends on the finance which will be collected on the project. Every possible resources will be involved in gathering on cloud building, including Facebook and Twitter; Google will provide the project with contextual advertising and promo-campaign on YouTube.

“Obama has shown us a good example — it is necessary to include all possibilities of global community in an advertising campaign”, — makes comments Margo Miller. The project budget is mobile, as well as structure — the Cloud can be constructed both on $5 million, and on $50 million; how many will collect money, on so much and will construct.

The cloud will eat energy of the sun and people, will convert and make the new. The in itself structure of a cloud is innovative; authors consider as achievement a transparency, minimum use of materials at which use the volume considerable quantity will be made.

On a cloud the plasma monitors showing the actual information on event are placed; they will be visible from any area of a city. Screens — especial interest for Google. It corresponds to company mission — to organise the world information.
