Work starts on Adnoc headquarters' foundations - MEED

The local Arabian Foundations has started work on the enabling works package for the new corporate headquarters for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc).

Is it possible that someone could get some pic's of the site and any project boards around it.

I actually like the design a lot. It's simple and classy. Good for Abu Dhabi, but it wouldn't look out of place in Dubai either.

After a closer look, it actually looks a lot like the Index IMO.

Wow. that thing is gorgeous! I love it! It's perfectly proportioned and perfectly simple. :cheers: Go Abu Dhabi! :D

Looks like a mix of the Index and Le Grande Arche, but I like it. I also think it fits better in Abu Dhabi then in Dubai...:D

That's true.
And also Torre Repsol in Madrid
May be a design by Foster, like those two...

intresting and beautyful tower

i love its simplicity. wonderfull tower. 9/10 for me.

Great building, amazing when compared to the existing old ADNOC building to the right.

This is going to look awesome in it's simplicity when finished. I really like the design, it really conveys power.

I like it. It's simplistic, which is a nice change from some of the buildings we've seen go up in UAE.

i love how the achieved much extra height, not using silly, spheres instead implementing actual, increased, structural, massing to do so. love that. also i know i just came up with that term so no haters. k lol.

Stunning skyline. Dam, I have to look into this city a bit more. :cheers:

A different, more dignified/restrained supertall building in the Middle East.

This building looks like something straight out of 1970. I love it. It is just missing black glass.....
