Desert Ice

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).

CONTEXT – parcel is situated on the outskirts of the town (SE part), morphologically a quite specific heterogeneous environment. A morphology of single volume building is presented by transformation of forms which unite the logic of existing elements of greenhouse/train/hangar and architectural interpretation of the facilities. Western facade represents the view of the building’s section itself on that very position. Northern and southern facades are perforated by a random pattern of openings, giving two-way lighting to the interior. Night brings the inverse effect, as the luminous projections on the cylinder create a dotted morphology for the mono-volume building. Roof cover is kal-zip steel sheet. Bearing structure is made out of equal prefabricated reinforced concrete arched elements that are shortened at their bottom. Internal office area has bearing composite structure (steel + reinforced concrete).
