Capital Gate, als “Schiefer Turm von Abu Dhabi” bekannt, ist ein Hochhaus mit einem enormen Neigungswinkel. Das spektakuläre Gebäude ist um 18 ° nach Westen geneigt und basiert auf einer komplexen Diagrid-Konstruktion. Der Wolkenkratzer erhielt sogar einen Eintrag in das Guinness-Buch der Rekorde als „am stärksten geneigter Turm” der Welt. Das Buch erzählt die Geschichte dieses außergewöhnlichen Entwurfs des Architekturbüros RMJM.

This spectacular building is at the crossroads of dominating architectural trends: parametrically designed, it features a Diagrid structural frame and an innovate structural core, allowing it to be the world’s furthest leaning tower. Developed by the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Company, it will host, on its opening in 2013, the Exhibition Center and a Hyatt Hotel. The combination of technological pioneership with a striking appearance and a world-wide functional use will bring this building to the attention of all those who cherish the challenge in contemporary lifestyle. To be published in time for the buildings opening, this book by the building’s leading architects will convey the drama and the details in a stunning volume.
