| Foster + Partners to transform Abu Dhabi Central Market Foster + Partners, the London based architectural design studio, reveals designs to transform Abu Dhabi's historic Central Market into a dynamic new quarter with markets, shops, offices, apartments and hotels. One of the oldest sites in the city, Central Market will be a reinterpretation of the traditional market place and a new civic heart for Abu Dhabi. The project comprises a combination of lower-rise, ecologically sensitive levels of retail, roof gardens - forming a new public park - and three towers, with generous underground parking. Pushed to the corners of the site to maximise the ground plane, the cluster of towers creates a striking new urban landmark. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
