What is Dubai Frame
Dubai Frame is a frame-shaped building opened in 2018. It has become a new historical landmark of the UAE. It was designed by Fernando Donis, an architect from Mexico who won a design award in 2008. This design was inspired by the Expo 2020 Dubai logo. The 150-meter-tall, 93-meter-wide building was reinforced with more than 9,900 cubic meters of concrete, 2,000 tons of steel and 2,900 sq.m of laminate glass and coated with 15,000 sq.m of gold. Each pole serves as a high-speed elevator that can travel 48 floors in 75 seconds. At the top lies the panoramic 360 degree view of Dubai
There was a drama before being the Dubai Frame today
Every place has its own history and Dubai Frame is no exception. In 2008, Fernando Donis who won the design choice filed a lawsuit against Dubai as it violated the agreement before signing the official design, instead, Dubai altered his design and proceeded to construction. Fernando said to CNN that his blueprints were modified without receiving any compensation, but he is happy to the Dubai Frame stands as it is in Dubai.
