Environment-Accommodating Skyscrapers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Symbiotic Towers are Designed for the Dubai Landscape

— February 2, 2018 — Eco
Skyscraper and tower design is shifting to focus more on creations that take the landscape and environment into consideration, which is evident with the newly imagined Symbiotic Towers. Conceptually designed by the Amorphous Studio, the towers are situated on a deck that offers a mix of public spaces as well as greenery to make it fit more symbiotically into the environment.

The tower design would offer space for a hotel, residential spaces and ample office space that could all be accessed via the main level deck that would make for a more streamlined flow of people. A shopping plaza would also be incorporated into the double-deck pedestrian walkway to make the Symbiotic Towers a place where inhabitants could work, live, shop and play without leaving the area.
