The first drawings of the green buildings of Masdar City, that zero-waste city of the future concept, were made by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill who designed Masdar Headquarters. This building will be the first that will generate power in order to be assembled. The power will be acquired with the help of a solar roof which, of course, is going to be assembled first.

Masdar City was designed by Norman Foster and is a project of $22 million. The pollution free city will be situated near Abu Dhabi, a city which accustomed us with its futuristic architecture. Masdar Headquarters will measure 1.4 million square foot and it will cost about $300 million.

This building will be the greenest in the world because it will have the lowest energy consumption per square foot, it will feature the largest photovoltaic system and also the largest cooling and dehumidification system. Masdar Headquarters will have integrated wind turbines and outdoor air-quality monitor and the construction will be completed by the end of 2010 and while the entire city will be finished by 2016.
