Abu Dhabi Flamingo Visitor Center

Year : 2020
Status : Unbuilt. Shortlisted
Location : Al Wathba Wetland Reserve, Abu Dhabi
Function : Visitor Center
Design Team : Toshiki Hirano

Our proposal for the Abu Dhabi Flamingo Visitor Center will be an iconic landmark while it resonates with the surrounding rich nature of Al Wathba Wetland Reserve.
The main feature of the building is the roof structure made of 32 pieces of trapezoidal precast concrete units. The unique silhouette of the roof blends into the landscape from the views from the south side while creates a strange and humorous impression from the north side. Trapezoidal form of the roof contributes the building to effectively take in the natural sunlight and create the comfortable interior environment.
