The Capital Gate, often known as the ‘Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi’, is the world’s most slanted structure. The 35-story tower is one of Abu Dhabi’s highest structures. However, its size or height is not among the characteristics that distinguish it. Instead, engineers defied convention by designing an 18-degree westward slope structure. As an example, the leaning tower of Pisa now leans by around 5 degrees.
The Architecture Of This Building In Abu Dhabi
Capital Gate has 728 unique custom-made diamond-shaped glass panels and is famous as the “world’s most inclined” structure. Each pane of glass is designed at a slightly different angle due to the curving design of the structure.
The skyscraper is part of the AED8 billion (US$2.2 billion) Capital Centre development in Abu Dhabi. The hotel offers visitors a panoramic perspective of the city and is a spectacular sight. Tourists love to visit the ‘Capital Gate’ and marvel at the building’s magnificent grandeur.
