Dubai is set to redefine urban architecture with its latest ambitious project that promises to transform the skyline of the city. According to CNN, Therme Group, the architecture firm behind the new project, has revealed that the revolutionary structure, dubbed “Islands in the Sky”, will feature botanical gardens suspended from the air, cascading pools filled with restorative thermal and mineral waters as well as spaces for cultural and social events. The structure, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R), will sit in the city’s Zabeel Park, beside the Royal Palace. It is expected to welcome 1.7 million visitors annually, “setting a new standard for holistic and daily wellbeing,” the firm said.
The company refers to the new project as “an oasis in the sky” that rises from the lake as a series of botanical gardens stacked into a tower. “Therme Dubai – Islands in the Sky brings together Dubai’s ambition to advance its landscape and become an urban oasis with Therme Group’s leadership in wellbeing-driven infrastructure,” the architecture firm said in a press release.
