Amazing Office Tower Al-Birr Foundation – Riyadh
Friday, February 4th, 2011 by momo # Architecture Sponsored Links:
The tower’s intricate enclosure is formed of lightweight glass-impregnated photocatalytic precast concrete supplemented with fly-ash. Beyond structurally supporting the tower, it controls solar and heat gain, preserves dramatic views to the city, and operates as a light shelf diffusing system. Calibrated to the changing sun angles, the perforated northern elevation allows for views and cooling breezes and transitions to primarily opaque at the southern elevation. Illuminated internally at night, the enclosure’s apertures result in a scintillating pattern of light; a literal inversion of the solar-regulating function of the tower enclosure during the day.
