The Mirdif Avenue Mall in Dubai is a three storey shopping centre with a total area of 22,300 m2. The custom curved roof construction with a span width of 25 metres is a particularly eye-catching feature of the horseshoe-shaped design that opens out to the south-east. The 1800 m2 freeform construction, which rests on a total of 20 “columns”, creates an airy atmosphere with maximum views to the outside. The FACID textile façade used provides optimum shading of the café terraces inside the complex.
