About
-
An ‘oasis’ known as a ‘place to relax and recuperate’ comes from the fact that when the ancient Arabian caravan traders were crossing the desert, they would have found refuge at these oases. The pebbles are something that one might encounter when they reach the shore of an oasis in the desert, and this is where the idea for the shape of Silicon Central was born.
The aesthetically pleasing shapes take their inspiration from the pebbles. The systematic and regular geometric forms, found in the unique and striking façade, are inspired by the ground breaking mathematical advances of the early Arabian natural philosophers.
