I'm gonna play the know-it-all guy and say it'll probably take from four to six more years.

This development consists two residential towers and two office towers each 13 levels high, located in the King Abdullah Financial District of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The wind effects relating to such a development were studied by Windtech Consultants. All four towers were tested in order to determine the effects of wind-induced structural loads on building motion. The tests indicate that all four towers satisfy acceptable levels of occupant comfort as a result of building acceleration

this mixed use project now under construction, spans two adjoining sites in the king abdullah financial district in riyadh. the project includes four towers in total, two office and two residential, a retail podium and joined underground parking. the development sits along a main arterial spine in a primary location abutting a sunken pedestrian landscaped wadi.
within the project two principle facade languages have been developed to meet with the requirements of the master planning brief. along the wadi on both residential towers a highly articulated surface has been generated with a shifting cantilevered balcony to create an animated and dynamic principle facade. this form then dissipates further back into the site to become planar.
in contrast both office towers adopt a faceted facade language, and within each mega panel further fractals are articulated through variable glazing and spandrel configurations. overlaying the office facade are a zone of external louvres optimised to orientation. the material palate has been restrained to achieve individual tower distinction yet retain genetic commonality.
