DESERT ICE - ThyssenKrupp elevator award 2008
SIZE
500,000 sqft - 1,000,000 sqft
Symbol of Dubai = the self-sustainable iceberg icon
presenting new technology of self-sustainable energy production
(patented) used for building an ?ice town? in the ?desert? = DESERT ICE
= an iconic tall emblem structure that contributes to the new face of
Dubai and promotes ecological conscious, scientific prosperity, tourism
and other recreational and cultural activities.
As a part of already existing landscape structure of Za?abeels Park,
the ?ice city? emblem is fully integrated by respecting the existing
topography of the site and by treating the project as an additional
park element in larger scale (sculpture).
The part of the site surrounded with adjacent roads (21 and 6 Street)
is marked by a group of towers and the remaining part of the site is
treated as a ?foyer? towards the towers and towards the requested
facilities (conference, local children?s library and caf�) ? this is
also the viewpoint from which one can experience the ?ice skyscraper
town? in front of the ?Dubai?s skyscraper town? located in 310 Sheikh
Zayed road. The highest tower is also a belvedere with caf� and viewing
platform on top.
Represented emblem is designed by consolidating unique self-sustainable
energy production with strong message of civilization future vision for
coexistence with nature. The whole entity has basis in natural circular
water process and uses two basic local environmental elements ? the sun
and the water ? the sun energy preserved through water accumulation. In
its outer expression it is inspired with iceberg preservation as the
most iconic example of climate changes and global warming, but also
with strong local cultural elements (wind tower, tent, dug out habitat,
ornament?). It is represented by 10 towers in each of which the whole
technical system for self-sustainable energy production is integrated,
except for the solar system which is integrated into a canopy flowing
between the towers. The produced energy is used for building an ice
envelope (fa�ade) around each tower which represents a symbol of
preserving the environment and stopping the climate changes. The
principle of integrated self-sustainable energy production (patent)
uses pumped storage hydroelectric power plant production as a basis
(the system containing two water reservoirs at different height levels
? the water from upper reservoir flows down and runs over water
turbines which produce electric power and falls into lower reservoir),
only the energy for pumping up the water to the upper reservoir is
created through the system of solar photovoltaic generators (solar
collectors) whose surface is defined by a dynamic calculation
considering the average number of sunny days and all other relevant
climate elements at the specific location.
