Check out 7 Gorgeous Green Buildings in the Middle East:
Masdar City is one of the most well known projects in the Middle East. Touted as the world’s first zero carbon and zero emissions city but beset with economic troubles, Foster & Partner’s sustainable terra cotta-colored buildings are nonetheless very impressive to look at. Check out our exclusive pics of Masdar’s first few solar-powered buildings just outside of Abu Dhabi.
Foster & Partners is behind the greening of Abu Dhabi’s Central Shouq as well. By adding a series of low rise, ecologically sensitive shops, hotel, offices, and restaurants, as well as rooftop gardens, the internationally-renowned firm has given this old world market a sustainable lift.
Lo and behold, Foster & Partners is behind yet another green project in the Middle East. This time they have unveiled plans to build a massive solar-powered international airport in Kuwait. Although that country doesn’t have its own green building standard, the firm is shooting to bring this crazy-shaped project in line with LEED Gold standards.
