Up is prototype for a water tower with an observation deck, to be replicated in different deserts in the UAE. 

The form was the result of a modeling exercise in Maya, combining the fluidity of water and movement. It grows from and with its surroundings; here, a desert. 

A scale model was 3D printed in powder to showcase the form in its entirety as well as the role of structure and balance.

Student work done with Faysal Tabbarah.
