UNStudio's Wasl Tower in Dubai is nearing completion, promising to redefine the city’s skyline with its striking 302-meter height and twisting form. Designed by UNStudio and engineered by Werner Sobek, the tower draws on classical art's 'contrapposto' stance, symbolizing movement and dynamism. Its ceramic fins facade serves both as a passive cooling system and a visually appealing design element. Located strategically on Sheikh Zayed Road, it enhances connectivity with the Burj Khalifa metro station. It represents the future of mixed-use skyscrapers, elegantly merging tradition with high performance in facade technology.
The Wasl Tower draws inspiration from classical 'contrapposto' art, giving it a dynamic, twisting form that suggests a figure in motion.
The high-performance facade of ceramic fins reduces heat gain and enhances interior daylighting while reflecting a blend of traditional aesthetics and modern performance.
