NAKHEEL TOWER , NDILO LITAKUWA JENGO KUBWA KULIPO YOTE DUNIANI LENYE UREFU WA ZAIDI YA KILOMITA MOJA
The proposed Nakheel Tower in Dubai is set to be the world’s tallest
building after completion in 2020 with a total height of more than one
kilometer. The mix-use development will include a harbor, a cultural
podium, and residential districts in the heart of the New Dubai
Development.
The tower conceived by Woods Bagot
was inspired on visions by Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Paolo
Soleri as the first true vertical city where more than 15,000
inhabitants will live and work. The tower also aims for LEED Platinum
certification through the implementation of a vast array of green
technologies like black water treatment, storm water harvesting, reuse
of fire test water, solar panels, wind turbines, and high voltage power
distribution.
The tower is divided into four separate towers with two slots through
the height of the tower to allow wind pass through the structure. This
innovative concept will reduce the wind loads and will allow for larger
floor plates on the higher levels – skyscrapers usually taper towards
the top due to wind forces. With more than 200 floors, the four towers
will be connected by bridges every 25 floors that will serve as
‘sky-lobbies’ and recreational areas that will include restaurants,
parks, and gyms among other amenities.
