The Dubai Wave is a proposal for a 2,300,000-sf mixed-use project for a 12-acre site in the new Dubai Industrial City downtown. The building program includes residential, office, retail, a hotel and conference center, and underground parking for 2,600 cars. Two schemes were developed for the program, one a group of six separate buildings on six separate sites housing different programmatic functions, and another scheme combining the program areas into one integrated single building. This latter scheme is a dramatic and lyrically curved building that moves in wave fashion from one end of the site to the other.
