Article Review - 'D'SECO Launches AED 380 Million Oval Tower in Dubai'


As both the name and the above graphic suggest, this building is an engineers nightmare. I came across this article, 'D'SECO Launches AED 380 Million Oval Tower in Dubai' on the AME Information website.

Currently named the apt 'Oval Tower', organisers foresee the building as becoming iconic in its sophisticated modern glass finish and pure white structure. With flexibility of floor space and overall comfort main focal points of the design, it will be interesting to observe how the architects and engineers balance form with function.

Also of interest will be the way in which the building is errected as its emphatic oval elevation will surely provide engineers and constructors alike with a plethora of obstacles.

Dubai certainly seems like the place to be at the moment!
