Dubai needs to undergo a change from a city of icons to an iconicity.
Taking a structural analysis of Dubai as our point of departure, we developed a component which we called "³lements" and which can dramatically altered without losing its recognizability.
When integrated into existing situations, the component reacts - on the basis of the Gestalt principle of contrast - contrastively, and thereby counterbalances the mainly monofunctional island projects as regards both program and design.
Distributed throughout Dubai, our component creates a cityscape for Dubai without seeming repetitive.

A agglomeration of components, as the complexest architectural scale of our urban concept, we took to research on the field-behaviour of our ³lement.
By flipping the Gestalt perception in a urban situation our figurations are able to support different perceptions based on observer and ambient parameters. The reached Gestalt-Flip suggests, an interferring between the mono-observing projects. A observed Inbetween.
