The unmissable World Trade Centre
The Bahrain World Trade Centre stands as an icon of sustainable design and engineering. The building includes the first installation of large-scale wind turbines into a commercial building. With initial inspiration taken from traditional Arabian wind towers, the idea that buildings could harness the onshore breeze from the Gulf and if designed correctly, deliver a renewable source of energy for the project was developed. The sail profiles of the two towers funnel the onshore breeze between them as well as creating lift behind, thus
further accelerating the wind velocity between the twin structures.
