The Strata tower, a forty story, luxury residential building designed by Asymptote Architecture. It is currently being built at the incredible Al Raha Beach waterfront in Abu Dhabi and it should be completed by early 2011. It will be 160 meters high, making it the tallest building of the Al Dana precinct.  The Strata Tower has an "articulate, striking physical presence" that seeks to "encapsulate meaning through the use of abstract form drawn from both local cultural landscapes and motifs and dynamic forces of global influence".

The Al Raha Beach Development is another project in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates.  It will allow 120'000 people to leave in the 11-kilometre water front of Al Raha Beach, which is set to become one of the greatest waterfront cities in the world. The project is very large (500 hectares) and will therefore be part of a rail, bus, fast ferry and water taxi network of Abu Dhabi. Several Canals will allow the waterway transport. With this incredible project, Abu Dhabi seeks to becom a "great Arabian water city". It will include residential and commercial buildings, as well as shopping streets and recreationnal spaces.
