Project Name:Infinity Tower
Completion Date:3Q 2012
Client:Cayan Investment & Development
Value:Approx. AED 750 M (USD 200 M)
Floors:80
ProjectProfile
The Infinity Tower will come to be viewed
as the epitome of 21st century
architecture. The Infinitys twisting shape
challenges conventional architecture andredefines standards of luxury. Infinity
Tower has large floor plates, which
actually requires the structure to be
twisted as it rises from level to level in
combination with a vertical and central
core structure. Each of the 80 floors of this
residential apartment development is
rotated to achieve a 90 degrees spiral,
creating the shape of a helix and revealing
a structure that helps shield its interior
from the sun. The actual rotation is 1.2
degrees per floor and is based on the total
height above ground floor, to achieve the
total rotation of 89.51 degrees.
Amazingly, there is not a single vertical
structural pillar anywhere in the building.
These pillars form the main part of the
twisted structure, while it is combined and
supported with a central and vertical
service core structural element.
Achieving the rotation of the floor plan and
the twisting of heavily reinforced columns
was one of the major challenges faced
during the construction of the InfinityTower.
Precise surveying methodologies at each
and every stage of execution were required
to achieve the design parameters while
still achieving a concreting cycle of four-
days per floor.
The Infinity tower has won six world-class
awards so far, including Best Architecture
in the World at the 2006 International
Property Awards in London and Best New
Global Design at the 2008 International
Architecture Awards from the ChicagoAthenaeum Museum of Architecture and
Design. The Infinity Tower is developed by
Cayan and was designed by Skidmore
Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) known for
their iconic landmarks such as the Sears
Tower in Chicago and Burj Khalifa in
Dubai, in which Arabtec was also a main
contractor.
