Urban land will only become scarcer, and ever-more creative approaches will be necessary in order to return projects of lasting value and iconic power. Such is the case at One Za’abeel, where the development lot is split by an elevated highway. The solution – a dramatic multi-story skybridge linking two substantial towers together, over the highway, more than 25 stories in the air, forming a distinctive gateway and unifying the project as a whole. This conceptually simple diagram is not simple to execute in construction. Attendees of this program met the practitioners who are making it happen.
Venue: One Za’abeel
Capacity: 30-40 Delegates
NOTE: Part of this program took place in a construction area. Flat-soled, closed-toe shoes were required to join these parts of the program.
