Architecture and Cultural Influences

Abstract Ali Rahim and Hina Jamelle of Contemporary Architecture Practice describe how they have been able to design distinct features into their residential tower in Dubai that imbue its complex architecture with a rich aesthetic sensibility. Their skilful use of the digital algorithm has enabled them not only to develop interrelated models that allow for the collaboration of different industries, but also to deliver elegance to a construction budget. It is a design strategy that has further assisted in the development and implementation of innovative marketing techniques for the sale of individual apartments.
