这种独特而大胆的建筑理念所固有的“垂直城市”提出了对高层建筑类型的戏剧性反思。
它们不是将不同的功能垂直堆叠在塔内，而是将它们相互嵌入，从而产生横向连接，并产生更加混合，多样化和充满活力的结果。

该设计为新的工作和生活集成模式，两种主要的功能性活动以及零售，酒店，休闲，体育和娱乐设施，公共场所和花园提供了潜力，所有这些都在“垂直”超大规模上实现。

使用大跨度悬索桥的结构逻辑实现了该项目引人注目的90m和120m悬臂，这使该项目真正具有标志性：悬吊并支撑水平结构的垂直结构塔芯结构形成一个大型的悬架。
当与将悬臂的质量平衡到塔架中心两侧的简单原理联系在一起时，似乎不可能实现跨度。

这个垂直城市的立面是基于对阿拉伯几何及其复杂，动态模式的高度原创性分析。它们不是基于对历史先例的直接，重复应用，而是作为对定义这些几何形状的线和图的复杂叠加和排列的转换而开发的。
在动态构图中应用模式关系的新概念，立面以具有不同程度的开放性，半透明性，透明性和不透明性的多层表面出现。

the ‘vertical city’ inherent in this unique and audacious building concept proposes a dramatic rethinking of the tall building type.
instead of different functions being vertically stacked within a tower, here they are embedded within one another, generating lateral connections and a significantly more mixed, diverse and vibrant outcome.

the design establishes the potential for new integrated patterns of working and living, the two predominant functional activities, supplemented by retail, hotel, leisure, sports and entertainment facilities, public spaces and gardens, all on a ‘vertical’ super-scale.

the project’s dramatic cantilevers, of 90m and 120m, which give the project its truly iconic form, are achieved using the structural logic of long-span suspension bridges: that of a vertical structural tower-core from which the horizontal structure is hung and propped to form a large suspension truss.
when allied to the simple principle of balancing the cantilevered masses to either side of the central tower-core, seemingly impossible spans become possible.

the facades of this vertical city were based on a highly original analysis of arabic geometry and its intricate, dynamic patterns. rather than being based on a direct, repeated application of historic precedents, they have been developed as a transformation of the intricate overlays and arrangements of lines and figures that define these geometries.
applying new concepts of pattern relationships in dynamic composition, the facades emerge as multilayered surfaces with varying degrees of openness, translucency, transparency and opacity.
