STATUS
Concept
Client: Undisclosed
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Status: Competition

We do not believe in designing interactions, instead we need to design the contexts that foster interactions. This tower is designed to foster interactions. In a learning environment, the most stimulating conversations do not happen in classrooms or at desks, but rather through informal interactions on campus, in open spaces, in hallways & other horizontal spaces. In a school environment, essential interactions are creativity, collaboration & learning. It is only at the intersection of such interactions that innovation emerges. Working with the formal requirement of being ‘a skyscraper’, and to preserve the horizontal dynamics that foster the informal most fruitful interactions, this University skyscraper has been conceived as a continuous ‘horizontal’ space. A campus, wrapped around an atrium to create a skyscraper, not by stacking floors, by rather by spiralling one large ramp and creating a continuous floor, that can easily be walked up and down, much like you would walk around campus.
