Salam Street

Abu Dhabi

Salam Street in Abu Dhabi is the main entrance to the island when travelling from the Dubai, Al Raha Beach or the Abu Dhabi Airport. As the road was due for upgrade due to the construction of Sheikh Zayed Bridge. Joseph and his team developed a scheme reflecting the importance of the road in context with Abu Dhabi’s rapid new development. The design form of the earth wave reflected the dunes around Abu Dhabi in a stylised minimalist way while the green ribbon created from this form reflects the island itself today known as the ‘Garden City’. of the Arabian Gulf. At night the edges of the modern forms are lit by LED lights as shown in the images below
