With the support of Oliver Bruns, Hospitality/Services Manager of Abu Dhabi Investment Council, Samir Daoud led an educational tour of the iconic Al Bahr Towers in Abu Dhabi for a group of students participating in the Illinois Institute of Technology’s (IIT) Masters of Tall Buildings and Vertical Urbanism (MTBVU) program (part of its partnership with the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), the world’s leading authority on tall buildings).

Samir and Oliver provided invaluable insights into the building’s features and functionalities, its innovative dynamic facade that responds to the movement of the sun in real time, thus significantly reducing solar gain and contributing to energy efficiency and sustainability efforts.
