a lot to learn from the development of Abu Dhabi Corniche
a lot to learn from the development of Abu Dhabi Corniche
success comes from not treating the waterfront as a line to build on, but as a sequence of spaces: park, road, promenade, beach, water and horizon
openness was deliberately created through reclamation and planning. Rather than using every metre for development, space was given to landscape, movement, public access and long views
feels simple, but the planning behind it is not
restraint: the strongest waterfront is the one that leaves enough space around it.
