Despite its height and impressive structure, the Burj Khalifa can sway a bit as you climb to the topmost floor. This phenomenon is called "joint wind". Due to the height of the building and its unique shape, wind can cause vibrations and create some movement in the building. However, don't worry! Burj Khalifa is designed to be stable and safe even in windy conditions. The building has many engineering solutions that ensure its strength and stability. The first thing to note is the impressive size of this skyscraper. The height of the Burj Khalifa is about 828 meters, and it consists of 163 floors! It's just incredible! One of the most exciting moments in the history of the Burj Khalifa was its construction. The building was built using a completely new technology, which significantly reduced construction time. This is one of the most significant achievements in the engineering field. In addition, the Burj Khalifa is a real ecological miracle. The building uses advanced energy saving technologies, such as a rainwater harvesting system for irrigating parks and gardens, solar panels and other innovative solutions. This demonstrates the desire for sustainable development and care for the environment. As you already understood, Burj Khalifa is not just a building, it is a true work of art and technical genius. It is worth visiting it at least once in your life to see this symbol of strength and progress with your own eyes.

"Exciting progress is being made on MQDC’s project, “The Forestias”.  Imagine Happiness If Different Generations Living Together with Nature Spanning over 12 acres, “The Forestias” is more than just a city within a forest. It’s a meticulously designed space that promotes happiness and well-being in every aspect of life. We’re thrilled to announce that several projects within “The Forestias” are now complete and ready to welcome residents this year. Furthermore, numerous other projects are steadily nearing completion, with over 70% of the construction already finished. Every element of “The Forestias”, including the thriving forest ecosystem within the project, is designed with a singular goal in mind - to create a living environment that brings happiness and well-being for all. #TheForestias #TheLandOfEverlastingHappiness #ImagineHappiness #MQDC #ForAllWellBeing MQDC | The Forestias by MQDC - Construction Progress https://lnkd.in/g_vPZRQ6

#Anna Pollock RESET Travel 2023. Anna has been to many many sustainable events. Listened to many that talk the Sustainable position. Spoken and shared bold thinking. I’m delighted she told us Our independent TLC Harmony forum yesterday in London , was one of the best she had attended. “Kudos to the team of TLC Harmony Reset Travel-23 for addressing the colossal elephant of embodied carbon. There are relatively few ways of reducing : use less concrete in construction (most suppliers over specify or don't look at alternatives); re-furbish less often; and refurbish /makeover over rather than replace old buildings, ause less carbon intensive material to the mix and build fewer new hotels!. TLC stands for Total Life Cycle - appropriate for a firm espousing holistic approaches to sustainability. “ Www.tlcharmony.com

'KCAP Awarded Preparation of "Sur Structure Plan" Development, in Sur, Oman' #Oman's city of #Sur, a historically significant trading and seafaring port, is renowned for its shipyards that craft traditional boats, and as a #crossroads of maritime trade routes that have shaped its rich cultural tapestry and economic development, over centuries. Aiming to enhance its existing and future urban coastal environment, the 'Sur Structure Plan' seeks to #modernise the city's relation to the Gulf of Oman and the Laguna, while embracing sustainable, long-term urban design practices. This strategic initiative marks a significant milestone for Sur, promising to transform it into a model city of #sustainability and #resilience in the region. A cornerstone of the plan is the intense involvement of the local #community, working closely with stakeholders, including the government of Oman, local organisations and the people of Sur. The project aims to include the inner densification of varied #neighbourhoods, key public spaces and #infrastructure improvements designed to support the city's growth, and increase its resilience to future economic and environmental challenges. A significant feature of this plan is the introduction of green corridors and open spaces that serve as natural buffers against extreme weather, while also providing residents with recreational areas that encourage community interaction and outdoor activities. By integrating advanced technology with traditional design elements, the Sur Structure Plan also aims to safeguard the city’s #cultural #heritage and compliment local #identity. The project is the result of a multidisciplinary team led by KCAP including Royal HaskoningDHV, IBN BAHLA ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, Cavendish Maxwell, Base Design and Naima Benkari; the client is Oman's Ministry of Housing & Urban Planning. KCAP’s leadership of the 'Sur Structure Plan' anchors itself on Oman's focus on diversifying its economy—and establishing its national, regional and urban planning frameworks—and is part of the country’s ‘Vision 2040’ development plan. That plan aims to transition Oman from an oil-dependent economy to one that is knowledge-based, with sustainable design-driven development at its core. Sur, with its strategic location and historical significance, therefore, presents an ideal opportunity to model how urban development can balance modern needs with cultural preservation. Stay tuned as we release information on the project throughout 2024.

The shaded and air-oriented walkway model by Qatar Foundation is a great example of how innovative design can be used to improve the pedestrian experience in hot climates. The walkway uses a combination of shade structures and air vents to create a comfortable and inviting space for people to walk. I think a similar model would be a welcome addition to the Qatar Science & Technology Park, which is a major hub for research and innovation in Qatar. The walkway would provide a shady, refreshing and healthy place for tenants. It would also be a great way to showcase Qatar's commitment to sustainable design. I hope that the #QSTP will consider implementing a similar walkway in the near future. It would be a great way to improve the quality of life for the people who work and visit the park. Here are some of the benefits of having a shaded and air-oriented walkway in the QSTP: 1. Increased comfort for pedestrians in hot weather. 2. Improved air quality. 3. Increased sense of well-being. 4. Increased attractiveness of the QSTP as a place to work, collaborate, and meet. #sustainability #QF #QSTP #walkability #climatechange #energysaving #publichealth #shading
