Controversial remake completes

North Sea is "Gulfof the future"

British Prime Minister Gordon

Brown has said that the North

Sea could become the “Gulf of

the Future”. Despite the

inevitability that the oil

production will fall to less than

1/3 of the North Sea’s peak in

1999 by 2020, the PM believes

that proposed and current wind

farms in the waters could

become the new wave of

profitable energy. Gordon

Brown said in May: “The global

economy is currently facing the

third great oil shock of recent

decades. The oil price, just $10

a barrel a decade ago, has

reached $135 in recent days,

Museum of Artsand Design set toopen

The Museum of Arts and

Design (MAD), designed by

Portland–based Allied Works

Architecture, will open the

doors of its new Columbus

Circle digs on September 27.

The 54,000 sq ft building

triples the space of the

Museum’s previous home

while transforming the former

“lollipop” building, a

Venetian-style palazzo

designed in mid 1960s by

Edward Durell Stone, into a

fitting home for the Country’s

leading arts, craft and design

institution. The project is a

New York debut for architect

Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works

Architecture, who bested Zaha

Hadid, Toshiko Mori and

Smith-Miller + Hawkinson in

a competition to design the

building.

Cloepfil’s design dramatically

opens up the building to

natural light and views while

putting the Museum’s core

mission of “craft”, front and

center. While the essential

Foster + Partners

Foster + Partners to give

Camp Nou Stadium faceliftFC Barcelona’s Camp Nou Stadium, one

of the world’s greatest football venues, is

to be extensively remodelled. Following

an international competition, Foster +

Partners have been selected as the

architects for this renewal of the stadium,

which is celebrating its 50th anniversary

this year.

The stadium, already the largest in

Europe, will be enlarged to

accommodate over 106,000 fans,

together with extensive new facilities

including hospitality and public areas. A

new roof will also be created to shelter

the fans. The stadium will be enclosed by

a brightly coloured mosaic outer skin that

wraps around the building and continues

over a new roof. The multi-coloured

enclosure comprises overlapping

translucent tiles in the club colours. The

myriad of tiles can be seen as

symbolising the loyalty and devotion of

FC Barcelona’s fans worldwide.

The remodelled stadium retains the

essential elements of the original Camp

Nou, designed by architects Francesc

Mitjans-Miró, García Barbon and Soteras

Mauri, which was inaugurated in 1957.

On match nights, the stadium will glow,

providing a new architectural icon for the

city. In the same way that FC Barcelona

is ‘more than a club’, the new Camp Nou

will be much more than a stadium.

For a description of a career move to the UAE

MICRO-SITE

The image of Dubai is already well established as a city of spectacular off-shore developments,

signature buildings and a top tourist destination. This article highlights some of the prime building

projects which underpin the aspirations of Dubai to be a world-class city.

By way of background, the original

city of Dubai lies on each side of a

large inlet known as the Creek.

The areas of Bur Dubai on the

one side and Deira on the other,

both include mature business

districts and historical areas which

have been carefully restored

recently. Over the past 35 years,

Dubai has grown along the coast

towards the border with Abu

Dhabi. More recently, this

extraordinary development has

extended inland into the desert

across a broad front parallel to the

coast.

To support these new

developments, the Roads and

Transport Authority (RTA) is

investing US$26bn in a massive

infrastructure programme for

roads. The 2020 Plan includes the

construction of 9 new ring roads

and 95 interchanges across the

Ground has been broken for the

first phase of the Dubai World

Trade Centre District which is a

major redevelopment of the

existing Dubai International

Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Phase I, designed by Hopkins

Architects and immediately

adjacent to the existing Centre,

will be a unique mixed-use urban

quarter of offices, apartments,

hotels and retail use. A design

competition for Phase II was

launched in December. The

existing international exhibition

centre will eventually be relocated

to a much bigger new facility

immediately adjacent to new

Al-Maktoum Airport near Jebel Ali.

Burj Dubai designed by SOM is

now visible from most parts of

Dubai, as it continues to rise

above the skyline. It is only from

a distance on the outskirts of

Dubai that the true height of the

Vision Tower designed by

Thompson, Ventulett, Steinback &

Associates (TVS) is also under

construction in Business Bay. It

will incorporate 500,000 sq. ft. of

commercial space and will,

undoubtedly, be one of the iconic

structures of Dubai with its 60

storey vertically-curved façade,

back-lit internally through the roof

reflecting light in different

directions. The building is due to

be completed in late 2008. Also

under construction in Business

Bay is The Binary, designed by

local Dubai firm Dubarch. The

plan of The Binary features

distinctive curved facades and

comprises two 21- and 25-storey

freehold commercial towers fused

at the centre. The 4-level podium

will contain a medical centre,

commercial and retail units. The

building is due to be completed in

the second quarter of 2009.
