SAEDNEWS: Al Bahr Towers are two 145-meter twin towers located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The project was completed in 2012 and is known for its modern design and distinctive adaptive façade system that helps reduce heat gain in the hot desert climate.
According to the Science Service of the Saed News website, these towers are known for their intelligent and adaptive façades, inspired by traditional Islamic “mashrabiya” screens. The exterior system automatically adjusts its angle based on the sun’s position to control heat and sunlight.
