Etisalat Head Office Building (Etisalat Headquarters)

File includes 15 drawings (10 plans, 1 section, 3 elevations; 1 combination drawing with 1 plan, section, detail), 105 photographs (40 prints: 24 of model, 16 miscellaneous; 65 negatives: 30 of model, 33 site), and 1 model of the building. The Etisalat Head Office Building in Abu Dhabi serves as the headquarters of the Emirates Telecommunications Corporation and provides a symbol for the corporation in Abu Dhabi and throughout the United Arab Emirates. The project was the winner of a Limited Design Competition conducted in 1985. It is composed of transmission facilities, branch office and head office functions, and public activities, all located on a prominent corner site in Abu Dhabi. The plan of the project responds to the corner site by directly addressing the traffic circle. By selecting a tower plan form, it also provides the office functions with good views of the adjacent gardens, the city, and sea to the north. A unique curtain wall system provides solar protection by a facetted arrangement of alternating opaque and vision panels, which give the façade its geometric pattern. At the project's summit is the radome, which houses the telecommunications/microwave functions. It is a unique solution to the problem of visually controlling the multitude of dishes and aerials required of Etisalat, recalling the traditional forms of Islamic design in a refreshing manner. This feature of the project has now become the identifying "image" of the Corporation in the Emirates. It was nominated for the Aga Khan Award in 1995.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Interim Headquarters

File consists of 23 drawings (1 site plan, 13 plans, 2 sections, 1 elevation, 3 exterior perspectives, 1 detail: furniture, equipment; 2 combination drawings: 1 plan I section, 1 section I elevation I detail) and 1 slide photograph of exterior. The Interim Headquarters was designed to increase the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Foreign Affairs space (12,000 m2) in Jeddah, prior to the Ministry's relocation to the capital, Riyadh. The concept for the Interim Headquarters was developed in the context of a programming and master plan study for the Ministry's Jeddah site as a whole, and on a long-range organization and management study for the Ministry. The Jeddah master plan study recommended the refurbishing of the existing headquarters, to preserve its historical and cultural value, and the continued use of the site to serve as the Jeddah Branch of the Ministry after the planned move to Riyadh. In order to complete the facility in the shortest possible time, the building was designed as a simple rectangular volume with a very regular structural grid. The building 'skin' received special design attention, to achieve the objective of a high quality 'background' building, which would not detract from the historic old Headquarters building in the centre of the site. The Interim Headquarters consists of a two-storey office block sitting on a solid base, which emerges out of the sloping site. The upper part of the glazed 'box' is surrounded with wood lattice screens, which simultaneously provide solar shading, hide unsightly mechanical equipment, and establish a visual relationship to the residential buildings of old Jeddah. Subsequent to the completion of the Ministry's new headquarters complex in Riyadh, the Interim Headquarters has continued to serve as the Ministry's Jeddah Branch, as planned.
