Al Rostamini Headquarters By MAD

Al Rostamini Headquarters // Dubai // UAE // MAD // 1

‘The site for the Al Rostamini group headquarters, designed by MAD architects, is a long waterfront within the central business area of Dubai. Rather than creating a traditional big office block on this site, and severing the water from the public, we wanted to build something above it.

Our concept is a thin slab, which hovers above the waterfront. This gives every office a view over the water, and frees up the ground level, allowing the public direct access to enjoy the waterfront.

The slab is lifted by nine diagonal tubes, voids within the structure. These tubes pierce the rear of the building, with four traveling through to appear as holes on the building’s front façade. The tubes travel through floors in different locations, creating a variety of different sized, undulating spaces within the building. These spaces correspond to the diverse uses of a headquarters office building.

The tubes also act as the method of circulation within the building: individual tubes transport the user to different floors. A lush forest is planted where these supporting tubes touch the floor. Thus a soft landscape of trees gives way to the hard landscape of the waterfront, and the reflective landscape of the water itself.’

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
