Green Masdar Headquarters green in design, featured at the 2010 National Design Triennial

Abu Dhabi’s green dream city, Masdar, is slowly, but sure, springing into existence. Designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, the Masdar Headquarters features on the 2010 National Design Triennial too! The Triennial, held from 14th May until 9th January 2011 with the Smithsonian Institution’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum playing host, has the most innovative and sweet designs on display, of which the Masdar Headquarters is one.

The Masdar Headquarters, the center of Masdar City, will be carbon neutral and evergreen. Cutting edge technology will be used, making this city self sufficient. The Masdar Headquarters will have the world’s largest solar panel array with eleven cone-like structures to give natural ventilation and daylight. Masdar is designed to set an example of how green a city can get in our world today.
