TheOblisco Capitale is a megatall skyscraper currently approved in theNew Administrative Capital of theRepublic of Egypt. Announced in 2018 as part of theEgypt Vision 2030, the tower aims to surpass the height of theBurj Khalifa, targeting a proposed height of 1000 meters (1kilometer).[1][2]
Designed by the Egyptian architectural firm IDIA, based inGiza, the skyscraper is planned to resemble aPharaonicobelisk, with an integrated water channel that symbolizes theNile River. The project encompasses 210 floors and is planned to be a mixed-use complex, including amenities such as residential units, hotel apartments, shops, and restaurants.[3][4]
The Oblisco Capitale is planned to be positioned in the central business district of Egypt's New Administrative Capital.
The architectural design of Oblisco Capitale is a mix ofPharaonic andArt Deco styles. The aesthetics draw heavily from the traditional forms of Ancient Egyptian obelisks, embodying a blend of modern ambition and historical reverence. Noteworthy features include rotatinglouvres that adapt to the sun's path, aimed at optimizing energy efficiency and reducing heat exposure, contributing to its anticipated LEED certification status.[5]
The facade is influenced by the design of theEgyptian water lily, a symbol integral to Ancient Egyptian culture, which thrived along the Nile for millennia. Planned features also include green terraces and communal spaces that promote environmental sustainability and community engagement.[6]
