Bionic City UAE

Project submitted to the 2006 Skyscraper Competition
Designed by: Helmut Sprenger, Oliver von der Lippe

This proposal examines the benefits of a field of small footprint skyscrapers. The main concept is to create visually and spatially linked pockets of recreational areas at the ground level. It is common to see deserted streets at night and weekends in downtown areas where traditional skyscrapers do not offer public amenities and visual connection between different spaces is nonexistent.
