OF Studio have won a competition run by Emaar to create a new "landmark structure" on a 6,300sq m (67,800sq ft) plot within the 5.6 million sq m (60.3 million sq ft) Dubai Creek Harbour waterfront development.

Participants were briefed to submit proposals that would respect the culture and climate of Dubai, but also expose children and families to new worldviews.

OF Studio's LAND-MARK proposal was conceived to be a public and social environment for pedestrians, with desert and water elements explore.

Undulating, winding seams in the landscape have been designed to appear as though shaped naturally, with a network of paths and walls that recalls the horizontal properties of the desert.

There are spaces for recreational activities and gathering, a shaded area form with views of the Dubai skyline and extruded paths that overhang the harbour, while pockets of vegetation that provide shade and soften the stark landscape.
