The building is called the NBD Building or the
National Bank of Dubai Building. The building, is located in eastern Dubai in
Deira, houses the headquarters of the National Bank of Dubai. The building is
part of the old downtown of Dubai, along the Dubai Creek. At 125 metres (410 ft), the National Bank
of Dubai is the tallest building in Deira, and was the fifth-tallest building
in Dubai when built in 1998. The form of the building was inspired by the
curved shape of the hulls of the traditional dhows (boats) that docked in the Dubai
Creek — a concept that also inspired the shape of the Burj Al Arab. It was
designed by the famous Uruguayan Architect, Carlos Ott (born October 16, 1946, in Montevideo). |
