Everyday Icons / Hiding In Plain Sight (Abu Dhabi)
No.0060 - Arab Monetary Fund, Khadim Bin Butti Al Hamed STREET
Located close to the Corniche, the Arab Monetary Fund building was inaugurated in 1982 and has been home to the AMF ever since. The golden-colored glass cladding ensures the building stands out from its surroundings. Its orientation, addressing the Family Park, ensures it is also visible from afar.
Other than the gold glazing, the design is relatively minimal. A few details add some flair - the geometric pattern adorning the buildings crown, and the concrete entry portico.
Architect and completion date unknown.
