Wanting to become a landmark, a symbol of his new identity, the Dubai proclamation, along with the company ThyssenKrupp, an open international competition in which approximately 2,500 offices and independent scholars from around the world.

An observation platform and a café and ypostiriktikes functions in soil, were the only requisite for building has been allowed to 170m. height and was placed on the edge of a newly created park, which permits no paremvasi.Oi architects propose a stone building blossom, the dynamics of a coil toward the sky.

Two elevators carry visitors to the observation deck and cafe and two open staircases hidden in the edges of the wings allowing the evacuation of an emergency. The form has come from simple shapes: a plan equivalent to two wings intersect at right angles to each other, in height, each wing grows like a tree leaf.

Two sheets, then, penetrate each other and twist along a steady step. The complexity of the pattern is the result of simple shapes on the basis of a pure and simple mathematical principle is characteristic of classical aesthetics.

The strength and apparent disregard for the laws of gravity are those who enroll in modern currents of architektonikis.Agkyromeno the classical tradition
facing the future, could be a symbol for every society and every city that aspires to star in the modern world.
