This is yet another architectural marvel from the Middle East that is surprisingly not from Dubai but from the city of Manama on the island of Bahrain. Bahrain World Trade Centre, another ingenious design from the Bristol based architects, Atkins, is a 240 metre structure comprising of two identical 50-storey, sail-shaped commercial office towers overlooking the Arabian Gulf. Its conspicuously striking features are its three 29 metre diameter horizontal-axis wind turbines that are supported by three 30 metre bridges spanning between the two towers. The sail-shaped towers and their wind turbines of the Bahrain WTC towers personify the maritime environment of the coastal city of Manama.
