Tower of Light or the new Taj Mahal


Architecture Studio "Pusher Thomas" Appearance proposed new project of the Organization of the Islamic Association project. The idea of the architects is modestly called "global character, full of light."
The sheer 160 meter tower, is a central element of the concepts covered in special fabric that sunlight will receive during the day and emit light at night.
According to the architects, the building will prevent overheating and will allow a 50% reduction of energy consumption for air conditioning.

The building is proposed to be made in reinforced concrete, which will provide a high thermal inertia. The building will be surrounded by gardens which will be combined, ie open and closed (with the smooth contours of the roof) and swimming pools. They will be in the form of concrete sculptured "wave" and falls in the form of "depression", which are a form reminiscent of sand dunes that lead around Jeddah.
