Layers of Dubai

Karim Mahmoud Elnabawy Balbaa
Designed for Site #1 in Dubai, near Ras al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.

Design Submission for the 2010 Land Art Generator Initiative Design Competition

Artist’s descriptive text:
Feel nature, love nature. It will never fail you. In order to solve problems we must first love nature. The inspiration must come out from the natural powers itself. With windscape and sunscape all around, nature deals directly with the form, and controls it.

The two towers play an important role in attracting people to the site with their strange look and height that can be seen from any part of the city. Each one is 140m high. With steel lines, it can inspire attendance with its visual effects at night, its movement, and the sky view.

The form lines on site were inspired by the desert sands, the form rises out of the sand. Its shape is fluid.

Inspiration
Integrating science technologies with some new artistic shapes and forms to inspire viewers and make art from science and natural powers.
