REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS
Petronas Towers
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This mixed-use project includes twin 88-story, 452 meter tall towers, totaling 1,000,000
square feet. The towers held the worlds record for tallest buildings.
One or more of the principals of ADGI had management responsibility for this project while in the employ of another design and
engineering organization.
Al Burj
United Arab Emirates
We were selected to perform the structural design of this 6.8 million square foot (670,000 sq.
meters, approximately) residential tower, which is proposed to be the tallest building in the
world. This building is the centerpiece of the worlds largest man-made island, The Palm
Island, located offshore of the Jumeriah Beach coastline in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It
rises out of a lagoon within the central canal of The Palm Island. The tower is intended to be
an international landmark and will create a new identity for the city of Dubai.
The building will house 724 apartments, with designs ranging from 300 square-meter (3000
square feet) simplexes to 600 square-meter (6,000 square feet) triplexes with individual
swimming pools. In addition to the residential portion of the building, an observation deck is
planned at one of the top floors.
The structural form concept of Al Burj evolved from the structure of the bamboo plant. The
towers footprint is composed of three triangular shapes with curvilinear sides and a hollow
circular interior. The stiff exterior shell with the hollow core results in an extremely efficient
structural system. The sides of the triangular shell are opened up to create three sub-towers.
To achieve cohesive structural behavior of these sub-towers, they are tied together intermittently
at six points using sky bridges with solid floor areas inside the core. These sky bridges also
provide two alternate means of egress for the occupants in the event of an emergency situation.
Random House
New York, New York
Located at 56th Street and Broadway, this 840,000 square foot, 56-story residential and
