Top Japanese architect to design projects in Dubai, Saudi
Leading Japanese architect Nikken Sekkei, will showcase projects from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Mongolia at Cityscape Global 2014 exhibition, reported Saudi Gazette, adding that the firm’s project pipeline, including developments in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Mongolia, Russia, Japan and China will highlight the firm’s international standing with developers from around the globe.

Nikken’s Dubai inventory includes Dubai Festival City and the second phase of the Dubai Cultural Village waterfront project in the Al Jadaf area of Dubai, the newspaper revealed.

Meanwhile, the Japanese firm has designed several Saudi developments, of which five will be showcased at the Cityscape exhibition. One of these developments is the mixed-use Riyadh Tower. At 338 metres tall and consisting of 73 levels it will house 201-key five-star hotel, private residences, penthouse units and a ‘Sky Palace’ apartment at the top. This tower is to be the tallest building in Riyadh.

“Nikken Sekkei is one of the great idiosyncratic architecture firms of its time, our ability to incorporate distinguishing design features and unique cultural references in keeping with the local environment ensures our creativity stands out from anything the world has ever seen,” the Japanese firm’s Chairman Nakamura Mitsuo said.

Taking place on September 21-23, 2014 at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre (DICEC), Cityscape Global 2014 exhibition will feature a variety of new designs and developments.
