Strata Tower

摘要

Currently under construction, and due for completion in 2011, at a height of 160 metres (525 feet) the Strata Tower, a 40-storey luxury residential building on Al Raha Beach, will be the tallest building in this exclusive waterfront development's Al Dana business precinct. Though the construction industry has traditionally resisted the use of building information modelling (BIM) technology, architects Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture of Asymptote here managed to convince the client to adopt these new tools in the development of the tower, which has resulted in better integration of the design and construction.
