The Souk, Abu Dhabi Central Market by Foster + Partners





Foster + Partners have completed a new shopping centre that combines high-end boutiques with independent local food and craft markets on the site of a historic city marketplace in Abu Dhabi.
The new Souk Market has been designed as a sequence of courtyards and alleys, integrating balconies and colonnades.
Sliding roofs and walls enable controlled ventilation of the market and patterned stained glass windows mark the entrances.
