Visitors to the United Arab Emirates are used to seeing distinctive giant engineering projects, here is one of those giant projects crouching in the heart of the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi. It's the Capital Tower. That huge building that stands 160 meters high, but that building is not only famous because of its enormous size, but it is famous for its miraculous curved design that seems to defy the rules of physics with its lateral inclination of 18 degrees, five times the inclination of the most famous leaning tower in the world. Leaning tower of Pisa in Italy, here is Capital Gate or Capital Tower. The most inclined skyscrapers in the world.

The construction of this engineering tower would rewrite the science of building towers and skyscrapers in the world, at first the idea seemed like a fantasy, but the engineering genius and science behind the construction of the Capital Gate Tower makes us only have admiration for this planning and implementation more than wonderful, which is part of the qualitative leap in the establishment of mega projects in the UAE, which Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan wanted to join the Grand Cities Club in the world, which invited him to spend more than $200 billion to turn his country into a global tourist center.

Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed wanted to build a surprising edifice to be a global symbol of his country's capital, Abu Dhabi, and entrusted the supervision of the implementation of that task to his cousin, Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, who was enthusiastic about the implementation of this strange edifice, which he saw at the time that it would be a unique edifice, and would put Abu Dhabi in the ranks of global cities and one of the cultural hubs in the world, as engineering is part of inspiration and comprehensive art.

Sheikh Tahnoun assigned the work to a team of engineers and stipulated that this building should not be the highest or tallest in the world, but their goal should be to challenge the rules of architecture, which aroused the enthusiasm of the head of the team of engineers, "Neil van Devien", as he considered that this assignment is a unique opportunity to draw inspiration from the wind-driven sand hills in the desert of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and he was also inspired by the movement of waves in the sea, and decided to embody those rhythms to get a shape More streamlined has the spirit of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The initial conception of the Capital Tower ended with it being a spiral tower rising from the ground with a length of 160 m, inspired by the desert winds and the impact of the waves with the sand of the beach, and its inclination is five times that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in a clear challenge to gravity and the laws of traditional architecture, and the angles of the building differ among themselves to the point that no angle resembles the other, which made the Capital Tower model surprising even before its implementation.

Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon indicated the allocation of the lower floors of the highest level offices in Abu Dhabi, and the 18 bricks above it, will be a luxury hotel for the elite of people, Sheikh Sultan also chose the tower to be next to an edifice of national importance, it is the military parade platform founded by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan, the first founder of the UAE, which will link the country's past with its future, the site was chosen to be adjacent to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company, which was allocated approximately From $2 billion to a mall called "Capital Center", it is the ideal place to build this architectural icon, and from the site the name of the tower "Capital Gate" was inspired.

To implement this crazy, gravity-defying design on the ground, the upper floors of more than 33 meters from the base needed to deviate from the base, which form enormous lateral forces that could uproot the foundations of the tower's construction. The team of engineers was aware of the magnitude of the enormous challenge on their shoulders, which necessitated them to use high-tech methods and extraordinary engineering ability to overcome the huge number of problems they faced to complete this miraculous building, but they impressed everyone with their success in this unusual task, and here is the Capital Gate tower located in the heart of the capital, Abu Dhabi, to testify to everyone the skill and accuracy of the work team in carrying out the task entrusted to it to the fullest, which necessitated entering the tower Capital Gate was added to Guinness in 2010 as the tallest man-made leaning building in the world.
