Al Fay Park / SLA | ArchDaily

Concept diagram 02
As the first biodiversity park in the UAE, Al Fay Park contains more than 2,000 native trees and bushes – including the national Ghaf trees that have been replanted from desert nurseries into the park – all specifically chosen to strengthen biodiversity for both planting and wildlife and to maximize natural cooling throughout the park. The resulting microclimate reduces traffic noise and temperature and creates a distinct forest-like environment. The specifically designed sloping entrances funnel the cooler southern breeze down into the park while local grasses and bushes reduce sand infiltration.

“Al Fay Park is specifically designed to provide both biological, environmental, and social benefits to Abu Dhabi. The density of the trees, the soil design, the irrigation using solely recirculated water, and the sole use of native species not only ensure that the park has radically reduced its irrigation by 40 percent compared to conventional parks. The planting also attracts bees, pollinators, birds, and animals, providing a lush and lively atmosphere in the middle of Abu Dhabi – this is a park with a 100 percent birdsong guaranty! Lastly, the microclimate design provides the best possible social ecosystem for play, sports, and leisure – making Al Fay Park both socially and climatically ‘the coolest place in town,” says Rasmus Astrup, Design Principal and Partner in SLA.
