The designs of Prague-based architect studio Petr Janda Brainwork won the call announced for designing the new flamingo visitor center in Abu Dhabi.
The designers of architect studio Petr Janda were able to grasp the character of the Al Wathba landscape from thousands of kilometers. This is exactly why the jury chose them as the winners of the extraordinary call (as designers don’t get to design flamingo visitor centers every day): their ancient and at the same time progressive building fits into its environment organically, and looks more like a natural structure than a contemporary building.
With the title of the project – To See And Not To Be Seen – the designers hint at the fact that the visitors will be able to observe the flamingos with the greatest discretion possible, without disturbing them.
