The concept design of the Bahrain World Trade Center towers was inspired by the traditional Arabian “Wind Towers” in that the very shape of the buildings harness the unobstructed prevailing onshore breeze from the Gulf, providing a renewable source of energy for the project. The towers are now well known for their striking architecture that mimics an ancient Arabian “wind tower” design. What truly sets the BWTC apart, however, is its status as the first commercial building to fully integrate three large-scale wind turbines into its design.
