Michael-Schuhmacher-World-Champion-Tower, Abu Dhabi

Inspired by the geometrical order of a snowflake and the aerodynamics of a Formula 1 racing car, the tower encapsulates speed, fluid dynamics, future technology and natural patterns of organisation. Rather than purely mimicking shapes in nature for their elegance and unpredictability, the architects learned from nature's own geometrical orders creating highly efficient structures and intriguing spaces.

"The Project brings together our previous experiences, the Mercedes-Benz Museum, a brand-owned museum with an extraordinary spatial concept exploring the latest digital design and fabrication technologies with the Water Cube Beijing, an example of the highest performance of both the building and the athletes, creating a stunning atmosphere developed through the deliberate morphing of molecular science, architecture and phenomenology, says Chris Bosse.
