Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Das Al Wathba Wetland Reserve in Abu Dhabi beherbergt ein einzigartiges, vielfältiges Ökosystem. Die künstlichen Sumpfgebiete entstanden im Herzen des Mittleren Ostens, im Osten der Insel Abu Dhabi, der Hauptstadt der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate. Das Reservat erstreckt sich über eine Gesamtfläche von 5 km2 und besteht aus Sumpfgebieten, Salinen, die als Sabkhas bekannt sind, und versteinerten Sanddünen.
Das Reservat ist zu einer Oase der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt geworden und zieht unzählige Arten verschiedener Wildtiere an, die sich in den Sumpfgebieten niederlassen. Dazu gehören eine reiche Pflanzen- und Wasserwelt sowie über 250 Vogelarten, vor allem die spektakuläre Flamingoschar, die die Sumpfgebiete als Heimat nennen.
Der Wettbewerb Abu Dhabi Flamingo Observation Tower will diese prächtigen Kreaturen feiern, indem er die Teilnehmer mit der Planung eines neuen Aussichtsturms für das Reservat beauftragt. Da die Umweltbehörde Abu Dhabi (EAD) Interesse am Bau dieses Turms bekundet hat, müssen die Entwürfe sowohl dem Aussehen und dem Zweck des Al Wathba Wetland Reserve entsprechen als auch das Potenzial haben, zu einem eigenständigen Wahrzeichen zu werden.
Competition assignment
The Al Wathba Wetland Reserve in Abu Dhabi is home to a uniquely diverse ecosystem. The artificial wetlands were created in the heart of the Middle East, on the East of Abu Dhabi island, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. Covering a total area of 5 km2, the reserve is comprised of wetlands, salt flats knowns as sabkhas, and fossilized sand dunes.
The reserve has become an oasis of animal and plant life, attracting innumerable species of diverse wildlife to settle within the wetlands. This includes abundant plant and aquatic life as well as over 250 species of birds, most notably the spectacular flock of flamingos that call the wetlands home.
The Abu Dhabi Flamingo Observation Tower competition is looking to celebrate these magnificent creatures by tasking participants with designing a new observation tower for the reserve. As the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) has expressed an interest in the construction of this tower, designs will need to be both in keeping with the look and purpose of the Al Wathba Wetland Reserve, while having the potential to become an iconic landmark in its own right.
