Creating an Iconic Destination for Zayed City residents with respect to the Historical importance of the city, integrating local materials and heritage in Harmony to create the Fortress of Knowledge inspired by the nearby al Dhafrah Fort. The Fortress of Knowledge is a name we believe will reflect our concept and the areas’ unique characteristics, which will make our project a unique land-mark representing the location, the use, and the history of al Dhafrah.
The Fortress of Knowledge presents our idea and understanding of the project as a new and modern creative hub that adds to the community and the city, with introduction of the government’s vision.
We believe that human development is based on the amount of knowledge he gains through his lifetime and the knowledge used for this development must be curated and preserved in a good manner. And we believe that The Fortress of Knowledge will work as the best representation of that idea.
Masterplan integrates the building with landscape in an organic way making the visitor’s experience seamless.
Introducing levels in the landscape will enhance the experience of the multiple zones. Building will be set in the center of the plot to make it the focal point from any viewing point.
Multiple Entrances were introduced to separate the different functions and to integrate with public roads and transportation network, as we separated the visitors’ entrances and Employees / services entrance and a different separation between pedestrians and cars entrances.
