Project Description
BOREALIS IS VISIBLE FROM AFAR AND IT IS
A PLACE OF ATTRACTION AND MEETINGS
FOR MANY PEOPLE. IT IS A KIND OF
LANDMARK THAT IS REMEMBERED IN ITS
OWN WAY AND UNITES ALL PEOPLE UNDER
ITS SHELL.
THE UNIQUE SHAPE AND
MATERIALS OF THE SHELL
PROTECT THE BUILDING
FROM ADVERSE WEATHER
CONDITIONS: OVERHEATING,
SAND AND WIND.
JUST IMAGINE, YOU CAN WALK AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. AS SOON AS YOU GET
UNDER THE SHELL YOU IMMEDIATELY FIND YOURSELF IN ANOTHER PLACE WITH
A COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE, CLEAN AIR AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE TEMPERATURE IN BOREALIS IS +260 . THE BUILDING SHELL IS MADE OF
GRID FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE, WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO ACHIEVE
ABSOLUTE FREEDOM OF FORMATION OF PUBLIC SPACE, AS WELL AS
RESISTANT TO CORROSION AND SERVES PROTECTION FROM DIRECT
SUNLIGHT.
IN ADDITION TO THIS MATERIAL, SURFACE CLEANING TECHNOLOGY
IS USED TO REDUCE AIR POLLUTION BY CARS.
DEPOLLUTING TECHNOLOGY – THE SURFACE IS COATED WITH A
SUPERFINE TITANIUM DIOXIDE (TIO2). IT IS REDUCING THE POLLUTION
OF 1000 CARS PER DAY.
THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER CAUSES ASSOCIATIONS AND
AROUSES INTEREST IN THE HISTORY OF THIS PLACE. AFTER ALL, THE TOWER IS
A MODERN INTERPRETATION OF THE MALKAF WIND TOWER. THIS TOWER IS
INVOLVED IN CREATING NATURAL AIR CIRCULATION.
TRANSPARENT BRICKS DIFFUSE THE SUN’S RAYS AND CREATE A LIGHT-SHADOW
EFFECT.
THE MAIN GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AN INNOVATIVE SUSTAINABLE
“LIVING” PUBLIC SPACE.
BOREALIS REFLECTS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS.
THE SPHERES (THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE SHELL OF THE BUILDING) ARE
MADE USING SOLAR CLOUD TECHNOLOGYБ WHICH ARE FILLED WITH HELIUM.
THE SPHERE’S MEMBRANE IS MADE OF RECYCLED NATURAL THERMOXFLEX
MATERIAL. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, SPHERES RISE UP AND
CREATE ADDITIONAL SHADING AND REPRESENT “GROUND ART”.
THE “HEART ” OF BOREALIS IS THE INTERPRETATION OF THE PALM TREE. IT ATTRACTS AND GIVES EVERYONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COOLING
OF PUBLIC SPACE. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HUMAN WEIGHT, THE OVAL SURFACES (UNDER THE PALM TREE) OMITTED. AT THIS TIME THE CABLES (ATTACHED TO
THE PETALS ON THE TRUNK OF THE PALM) ARE STRETCHED. AFTER THAT, THE PETALS ARE LOWERED 900 AND GIVE THE ACCUMULATED WATER IN THE FORM OF AIR
HUMIDIFICATION.
IN ADDITION, THERE IS AN ELEVATOR IN THE TRUNK OF THE PALM TREE THAT LEADS TO THE OBSERVATION PLATFORM. YOU CAN ALSO GO UP ISING THE RAMP.
THE UPPER COATING OF THE PALM AND SPHERE IS MADE USING HIGH-TECH HIGH-PERFORMANCE THIN-FILM TECHNOLOGY CIGS.
THE RESULT IS AN LCOE PRODUCT WITH LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND HIGH ENERGY OUTPUT.
THE TOWER’S STRUCTURAL SOLUTION IS THE “FINITE” FRAME SYSTEM – A BIODEGRADABLE STRUCTURE MADE FROM DESERT SAND – A RESOURCE THAT IS STILL AS
STRONG AS CONCRETE AND NON-TOXIC.
THEREFORE, THE PUBLIC CENTER BECOMES NOT JUST A CITY OBJECT, BUT ALSO
AN OBJECT THAT BENEFITS VISITORS, WHERE IT IS PLEASANT TO BE NOT ONLY IN
THE EVENING, BUT ALSO DURING THE DAY.
LET’S SEE THE BOREALIS IN THE DESERT BY TAKING A LOOK AT THE PROJECT
TOGETHER.
NORTHERN LIGHTS ARE POSSIBLE NOT ONLY IN THE NORTH, BUT NOW IN THE
DESERT!
