According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Capital Gate in Abu Dhabi holds the world record for the most inclined building in the world. ...
The building is adorned with a sculptural “splash” that flows down to the entrance canopy and over the adjacent grandstand.
The triangular construction of the main building was composed of 700 predominantly triangular elements with diamond-shaped profiles, all of which were prefabricated on site.
Capital Gate was the largest single order for Waagner Biro at the time the contract was awarded.
