OMA and a mega project in Persian gulf

Rem Koolhaas had created a huge tourist village called Jebel al Jais Mountain Resort, on a mountain in the United Arab Emirates. The concept rised from analyses, that in UAE, the relaxation has become the ubiquitous condition and it has to be attractive. So OMA decided not to convert the nature, as it usual in traditional resort, but to create a place, that exploits true natural condition. They designed a series of modern villas, cantilever and cliff villas, whole vertical city, but also the dam, the bridge. Each part presents divers urban solution and provides various degrees of concentration, density of buildings.
