==Description==
The distinguishing feature of the iconic towers is their protective skin of 2,000 umbrella-like glass elements that automatically open and close depending on the intensity of sunlight. Inspired by the 'mashrabiya', geometrically-designed wooden lattice screens that have been used to fill windows of traditional Arabic architecture since the 14th century, the 'intelligent' façade of the Al Bahr Towers is dynamically controlled by a building management system. The adjustable shades help reduce interior heat gains caused by sunlight by around 50 percent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gizmag.com/al-bahar-towers/26139/ )〕 The eco-friendly towers are one of the first buildings in the Gulf to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver rating.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.wikiarquitectura.com/index.php/Al_Bahar_Towers )〕 They were placed second at the Emporis Skyscraper Award – the world's premier honorary event for high-rise architecture – for projects completed in 2012. The development has also been featured on the Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat's "Innovative 20" list of buildings that "challenge the typology of tall buildings in the 21st century".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.thenational.ae/business/industry-insights/property/abu-dhabis-al-bahr-towers-second-to-canadas-marilyn-monroe-buildings-in-best-architecture-awards )〕 Al Bahr Towers is designed by AHR (formerly Aedas UK), and constructed by Al-Futtaim Carillion, a Dubai-based provider of integrated solutions for infrastructure, building, and services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Al Bahr Towers )〕
