Vantage Point is an observation tower – an emblematic structure – located in Za’abeel Park, Dubai that symbolizes the city’s newfound status and presents a perspective of its offerings. Taking from the favorable site with its multiple possibilities of layered observation, we took cues from sightlines near and far and Islamic geometric patterns to develop a structure to view and be viewed.
