Bahrain WTC Wind Turbines design: 8 April 2008 Design: Atkins architects office The three 29m-diameter turbine blades on Bahrain's iconic landmark are the first in the world to be integrated on such a scale into a commercial development and are forecast to provide the equivalent of 11-15% of the power for the two towers when fully operational.
Its iconic presence and commitment to sustainability make it a symbol of Bahrain. Visitors to the BWTC can appreciate the striking architectural design of the twin towers. Which feature three wind turbines integrated into the structure. The towers are connected by a skybridge, adding to the distinctive appeal of the complex.
Designed by the multi-national architectural firm Atkins, construction on the towers was completed in 2008. It is the first skyscraper in the world to integrate wind turbines into its design.
The wind climate in the Arabian Gulf with its dominant sea breeze characteristic is conducive to harnessing wind energy and allows designers to move away from the more conventional omni-directional solutions and consider uni-directional wind turbine options that in many respects, lend themselves to the large scale integration in buildings.
