Performing Arts Center will be part of a multi-cultural district with other buildings of Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel and Tadao Ando. In his own words, Ms. Hadid describes the structure as a "biological analogy" whose main components (branches, stems, fruits and leaves) is "transformed from these abstract diagrams in architectural design." We can only hope that such poetic biomimicry will lead Green functions, materials and technologies.
"As it winds through the site, increases in the complexity of the architecture, building height and depth and achieving multiple summits in the bodies housing the performance spaces, which spring from the structure like fruits on a vine and face westward, toward the water."The Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre is a continuation of the long relationship we have with the Guggenheim Foundation and the Emirate. We feel very honored to be part of the project," says Hadid.
The building, with panoramic sea views and the city of Abu Dhabi, will be part of a set of institutions in the cultural district of Saadiyat Isalnd ranging from the Maritime Museum at its southern end to the Museum of Contemporary Art at the north end.Energy Performing Arts Center is symbolized by the dominant movements in the urban fabric along the central axis of the pedestrian walkway and promenade cultural center of the sea - the site of intersection of two elements."When this comprehensive and inclusive vision is realized, will set the standard for global culture that will be remembered for decades to come."Thomas Krens, Guggenheim Foundation Director said: "In Abu Dhabi, we have been lucky enough to find a partner who not only shares our point of view, but expands upon it. The plans for Saadiyat Island and the cultural district, conceived and developed by the Government of Abu Dhabi, are simply extraordinary.
