«®°·•°~( CooL CiTy

Ø Good pointes:

1. fine space between tall buildings–good because reducing the spaces between buildings creates a shad for longer periods of the day, which can prevents heat from generating in the walls witch will help to decrease the consumption of electricity by reducing the load on the cooling system.

2. Using operable roof which is supposed to work depending on the weather. When the weather is hot like in the summer it will close up and reduce the sunlight that streams in. While in the winter it will use the natural air from the cool weather.

3. Solar powered plant farms: These plant farms are connected to solar powered machines which are used to provide the plants with energy.

----

Ø Bad pointes:

1. Cool cities are not suitable for most of people- because some people can’t afford to live there or they don’t want to change their current life style.

2. Water Shortage: This city is in fact an island which surrounded with water and that is rare.

3. To build the cool cities, it needs a big budget and a lot of planning for the projects to be successful.

▫▪[ TDIC Project ]▪▫

Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) is the company that arranging all of the new construction projects in Abu Dhabi the capital of the United Arab Emirates. My friend, Ahmed Al Hammadi, and I had to do a presentation about a project of the TDIC. However, I liked some of them and disliked others. I am going to write about the best and worst project in my opinion.


I think “Qasr Al Sarab” is the best project due to some reasons such as; the location of the project in the middle of Liwa desert which is the best place to relax and have a break from daily work in a quiet environment. Another reason is the luxuries facilities in the retreat centre like the luxury health spa, conference centre, adjoining excursion and tented villages, a children’s playground and an observatory from where guests can monitor the awe-inspiring Liwa night skies which. Also, the design of it is really a good reason to visit it. It is being built in a shape of old Arabic castle which is worth to see.


On the other hand, I think “Abu Dhabi Creek Business Resort” is the worst project of TDIC and that’s for some reasons. One is the facilities which are the same in all other projects; guest rooms, conference and meeting facilities, a garden and a pool. There is nothing new you can enjoy there. It is the same for going to any other resort. Another reason is the design of the villas in the project which is really awful and looks like a cube and that’s what I call “not interesting”.


In conclusion, TDIC is a big company with many nice and new projects. I think soon we are going to see cool buildings made by them.
