Dubai Marina Bridge

Dubai Marina Bridge, UAE

The National Bird of the UAE, the Falcon, is a prominent symbol of the Arab people. As such an important part of the UAE’s imagery, the Falcon is the inspiration for the bridge’s Main Tower design, which is a symbolic and distinctive translation of a falcon’s uniquely arched wing structure. Designed to reflect the efficiency and power with which the bird’s wings function, the bridge presides proudly over its surrounding areas.

The project was designed in collaboration with Buckland & Taylor.
