New and not the usual lattice facade wraps the exterior walls of skyscrapers al Bahar, except one - North. With three sides, the facades are covered with special decorative panels, each of which consists of a so-called movable modules. Under the influence of sunlight, the panels exposed, thereby forming on the facade of the towers of the original relief. If the lighting changes, the panel is automatically closed, creating a beautiful modern openwork pattern.
