Inspired by the UAE’s historical defensive towers, such as the iconic Al Bidyah mosque watchtower, the IMR (Insect Monitoring Radar) Tower addresses the critical need for sustainable agricultural protection against invasive insect species.
Fabricated by NAAM Creations and proudly showcased at Dubai Design Week 2024, the IMR Tower stands over 6 meters tall with a 5.75-meter elliptical footprint. Its design ingeniously repurposes a car’s hollowed shell, symbolizing innovation and sustainability. The steel-framed tower featured two platforms. Platform One, accessed by a detachable staircase, allowed visitors to observe a simulation of real-time insect movement on an LED display. Platform Two, reached by a pull-down ladder, offered elevated views and, in the future, would house the electronics for operating the antenna.
