Capital Gate, Deconstructivist skyscraper in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Capital Gate rises 160 meters into the sky with a distinctive 18-degree westward incline, featuring a steel and glass exterior across 35 floors.
Construction of this engineering milestone began in 2009 under RMJM architects, introducing an unprecedented structural design to the Emirates architectural landscape.
The tower's spiral form draws inspiration from desert winds and sand dunes, incorporating regional natural elements into modern architectural expression.
The building functions as a multipurpose complex, housing a five-star Hyatt hotel, executive offices, and conference facilities near the National Exhibition Centre.
This structure holds the Guinness World Record for the most tilted artificial tower, leaning four times more than the Tower of Pisa.
