Asymptote’s design for the Sheikh Zayed Dubai Pearl Podium Development proposes a combination of powerful architectural elements intelligently situated and efficiently planned to create a vibrant vital and significant urban, retail and cultural experience. The scheme deliberately targets the sophisticated and refined sensibilities and taste of its complex users and visitors. The Dubai Pearl Podium is designed to complement the existing tower construction with a visually compelling and harmonious composition of buildings and environs which serves as much to highlight the iconic nature of the existing construction as it does to increase the sophistication, functionality and connectivity of the podium architecture integrated with the surrounding community and city.
