With its striking architecture, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) headquarters dominates the Abu Dhabi skyline. Inspired by sand dunes and billowing sails, the building combines transparency, openness, and a modern design language.
A distinctive design element is the “ canopy ” in the entrance area. Our “I-SYS® ”Stainless Steel Cable Systems play a central role within the “ structure ”: As a wind bracing system, they counteract wind loads and absorb the resulting forces . At the same time, they enable a delicate supporting structure with slender steel cross-sections and emphasize the light, elegant effect of the design.
The 22-mm-thick I-SYS® Stainless Steel Cable Systems provide the necessary stability for the canopy bracing and ensure reliable performance even under demanding weather conditions.
