Aspire Tower
An unusual setting for the Olympic Torch
2006: Qatar hosts the Asian Games. The Olympic flame is placed atop a tower with an unusual design: a technological marvel designed and built in record time by Six Construct and Midmac, with the support of the BESIX Engineering department.
A flame at the top
The 300-metre high Aspire Tower features a revolving restaurant and a hotel swimming pool cantilevered 100 metres above ground. The petal-shaped arrow at its peak held the Olympic flame during the 2006 Asian Games.
Elegance
The building's aluminium-and-glass façade features advanced environmental systems and ensures a pleasant temperaturre inside. Next, its outer skin in stainless steel mesh reflects sunlight and moonlight to lend the tower its distinctive elegance.
17 month's work: the speed of building in the selected mode was a real challenge.
