Everyday Icons / Hiding In Plain Sight (Abu Dhabi)
No.0029 - City Block W5, Al Hisn, Abu Dhabi
W5 is dominated by its imposing neighbors (ADIA, Landmark Tower and WTC) along with the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce. However, there are still some interesting buildings to be found in between these landmarks.
As with other areas in downtown Abu Dhabi, there is a true variety of architectural designs on display, some more successful than others! What I like here is the use of texture and depth to create interesting exteriors to what could otherwise quite easily have been developed as cookie cutter tower typologies.
