Dubai set another Guinness world record after becoming
the home of the world’s largest vertical maze.The 55-story tall Maze Tower is located just off Sheikh
Zayed Road in the heart of the Dubai Financial District.
The building, developed by the Al Rostamani Group “Guinness World Records is thrilled to recognize and honor
the Al Rostamani Group on the creation of such an iconic and unique tower that
has contributed to the growth and transformation of the region,” said Talal
Omar, country manager for Guinness World Records Mena.
“It is through innovative projects such as The Maze
Tower, that Dubai has earned itself the reputation of being at the forefront of
design and development.” The maze itself is not just a random pattern but a
real puzzle.
The design uses the changing level of natural light and
shadow during the day, as well as natural Brazilian Verde Bahia stone, to
create a striking facade. The stone is used throughout the exterior and the
dark greenish hue of the building corner posts is achieved using a water jet
treatment which creates an even, matt surface.
A lighter color is used to emphasize the Maze and is
achieved using a flame technique that roughens the surface and creates a
lighter, more reflective surface.
The tower boasts the Maze Eye- an 8m circular video wall
at the top of the building which can beam images great distances. The maze
pattern can also be lit up in different colours and there is also a garden
floor in the middle of the building and a roof top maze garden. Read more news
