A three-storey sky bridge slung 220 metres above Downtown, joining twin towers with a cantilevered glass Skywalk and infinity pool.
Dubai
Al Wasl Plaza Dome
A 130-metre steel trellis dome at the heart of Expo City — the world's largest 360-degree projection surface, glowing translucent at night.
Alif — The Mobility Pavilion
Foster + Partners' gleaming stainless-steel trefoil, with three cantilevered petals and the world's largest passenger lift.
Dubai Metro Station Shells
Golden shell-roofed stations across the city — Aedas's pearl-inspired canopies, a column-free steel form repeated as urban jewellery.
Expo City Entry Portals
Asif Khan's 21-metre carbon-fibre gateways — a mashrabiya 'drawn in the sky', with vast doors thin and light enough to be opened by one person.
Surreal, Expo City
A four-storey ring of waterfalls by WET Design where water flows upward and a circle of hydrogen fire burns at the centre, scored by the Game of Thrones composer.
Terra — The Sustainability Pavilion
Grimshaw's 130-metre solar canopy — a great steel tree that harvests its own energy and water, ringed by rotating 'Energy Trees'.
