Meraas Tower was meant to be a 600 m tall tower rising proudly over Jumeirah Garden City, Dubai. The tower design had a series of faceted surfaces that would help light and air travel throughout the building, maximise energy generation, balance natural light, and offer 360-degree views of the city below.
There were also going to be natural atrium spaces as the building ascended, allowing the creation of naturally lit sky gardens. Meraas Tower was to include 300,000 square meters of hotel, convention, commercial and retail spaces. However, in 2009, the tower was cancelled, which if you think about it saved a lot more energy than if the building had been built.
