Everyday Icons / Hiding In Plain Sight (Abu Dhabi)

No.0068 - 2, Um Shiyarah Street

Another example not on my original list. I ‘discovered’ this tower when photographing another, and was taken by the composition of the elevations, along with some of the details. It’s got a great corner position on a busy intersection which makes it visible from afar. I particularly like the way the building addresses the street at ground level, and it’s raw material quality.

Architect and completion date unknown.
