Architecture in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi's architecture moves from forts and courtyard traditions to planned avenues, monumental civic buildings, climate-conscious screens, sculptural towers, and island cultural landmarks.
Why go
The useful comparison is not old against new but how each building handles shade, procession, privacy, view, and identity. Qasr Al Hosn, the Grand Mosque, Louvre dome, Capital Gate, Aldar's circular headquarters, and Qasr Al Watan answer those questions differently. Grouping them reveals design decisions hidden by simple skyline photography.
