The building that we are going to show you next has been dubbed "The Pad". This 24-story tall building is coming to an end. It is building in Dubai and its design is based on an iPod placed on a dock from Apple. Likewise, The Pad's architect has also been in charge of filling it with technology to make life easier for tenants. We'll tell you more: it has included so much technology that it compares it to the suit of Iron Man, the popular Marvel character.
The Pad is a building that has been under construction in Dubai for a while. This city, which is one of the main tourist destinations for shopping, also delights us with the tallest building in the world: the Burj Khalifa, with a height of 823 meters. Y in this line —not from height— but from emblematic wants to be The Pad.
The construction and design has been done by the popular Hong Kong architect James Law. It is not the first time that Law surprises the public with unusual structures. Another example would be the OPod Tube building, cylindrical concrete buildings transformed into houses with a lot of technology inside.
However, he has taken a step further with the project dubbed The Pad, a giant 24-story structure that bases its design on an iPod. Likewise, and according to comments from Business Insider: «The Pad aims to merge technology, development and architecture to create structures that better respond to the needs and desires of today's people. "
But not only its exterior surprises, but its interior will also attract your attention. And, as we mentioned before, it is full of technology in its 231 apartments that make it up. All of them have labels RFID instead of keys; the bathroom analyzes and provides real-time reports on the health of the tenants; or a virtual reality project in each room called "iReality". It projects images automatically and will change on its own. The idea is to project up to a total of 62 tourist destinations around the world.
