LAVA to design Masdar city centre
- United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, September 01 - 2009 at 11:28
The UAE has selected Australia-based LAVA Architects to design the city centre for the Abu Dhabi Masdar project. LAVA's winning design features a five-star hotel, central plaza, convention centre, entertainment complex, and shops. The design also includes a number of integrated sustainable design features, such as solar 'umbrellas' that are modelled after flowers that open up during the day and close up at night to keep the plaza cool, adaptive building facades that adjust to capture sunlight, and wall surfaces that adapt to changing temperatures.
