Nikken Sekkei to Display Latest Sustainable Projects

Nikken Sekkei will be presenting a range of selected green designs from its extensive international and regional portfolio at Cityscape Dubai which is one of the largest real estate investment and business-2-business show. Nikken Sekkei is the global leader and top architectural practice in sustainable design. This Cityscape Dubai event is the largest show showcasing real estate in Dubai and other emirates and is going to take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre starting from October 5-8, 2009. In previous years, Nikken Sekkei uncovered the Cool City and ECO Towers real estate projects using advanced energy and market-tested solutions. This time it is highlighting the innovative and exclusive ideas of sustainable architecture and what it will look line in 2020.

The Chairman, Mitsuo Nakamura of Nikken Sekkei, said: “The general public is more environmentally aware than ever before and carbon emissions are a contentious issue. Developers are now insisting on structural designs that comply with LEED standards and the use of environmentally friendly materials and coatings. Building owners are now also more commercially aware of the benefits of embracing sustainable design, in relation to maintenance and management costs over the lifetime of the building. So once again, Cityscape Dubai will provide us with an appropriate platform to demonstrate our sustainable design excellence capable of delivering substantial energy savings.”

This year in Cityscape Dubai, various technically advanced projects are to be showcased including Tokyo Midtow, Mode-Gakuen Spiral Towers, Shibuya New Cultural District Development Project, Pola Museum of Art, Toho Gakuen School of Music Annex, Guangzhou New Library and various other local projects such as Jumeira Gardens Techonopreneur City and Burj Al Alam etc. These are some of the top real estate projects that are to be showcased in this year’s grand property event.
