Winner of the award for the Middle East & Africa region is the five-building Sowwah Square complex in Abu Dhabi designed by Chicago architecture firm Goettsch Partners and developed by Mubadala Real Estate & Infrastructure. — bustler.net

The blatant disregard for its context exhibited by the Al Khatem Tower/Sowwah Square in Abu Dhabi forced the planners of the island to draft new architectural guidelines to stop projects like this from being built in the future.
what context? the giant palm fronds blown into the gulf? I thought the architectural guidelines were just: dolla dolla bill ya'll!
