Design for the new ATC tower at Bahrain International Airport
Invited competition
The design of the tower is a challenge in terms of form, construction and material. The RCC structure of the building is reduced to a base and a top connected through a spine.
The vertical circulation space is enveloped by a semitransparent textile membrane, which operates as a sun reflector and generates a unique image at night. As a freestanding, independent building, all functions of the ATC control are accommodated within the base and the cabin and the tower becomes a strong icon and landmark.
