The Capital Gate building, located in the vicinity of the Exhibition Center in Abu Dhabi is the most inclined man-made building in the world. This fact was verified in 2010 in the Guinness World Records with an inclination of 18º to the west, more than four times higher than that of the Tower of Pisa (it has an inclination of four degrees) and 3 degrees more than the Puerta de Europa Towers. in Madrid, known as Torres Kio.
The tower's façade is made of metal and glass and protects its 35 floors. The building sits on 490 sunken piles up to 30 meters deep to protect the structure from seismic forces and those caused by the wind, greater if possible due to the peculiar design of the tower, which has become a tourist icon.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the Suurhusen Church in Germany (the latter has a 13-degree lean) were built this way based on architectural errors , but the Abu Dhabi building was intentionally designed by the architects.
The 165-meter-tall Capital Gate Tower houses office space, a spectacular business center (Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre) and also the five-star Capital Gate Hyatt hotel, with 189 rooms and suites located between the floors 18 and 33 of the building.
On the 19th floor, it has an infinity pool with views of the city and the sea and a well-equipped gym .
At the time it was said that the structure was inspired by the dunes of the desert. The truth is that it was designed with an asymmetric spiral inclination , which generates a visual effect depending on the angle of observation and acquires a different appearance. Among the design challenges faced in the Capital Gate Tower, of course, the use of the world's first pre-arched core in the construction stands out.
