![]() The original jury consisted of 11 international architects - a former and current chairman of the International Union of Architects (UIA) and the regional chairman of ThyssenKrupp Elevator. An international panel of judges selected the winning idea from among 926 design proposals to create a Tall Emblem Structure for Dubai. The ThyssenKrupp Elevator Architecture Award is an international architecture competition first held in 1988 and sponsored by one of the world's leading elevator companies. It is near the Star Gate of Zabeel Park and stands at 150.24 m (493 ft) tall and 95.53 m (313 ft) wide. Participants from all over the world were invited to submit an emblem that would promote “the new face for Dubai". The design was selected as the winner of the 2009 ThyssenKrupp Elevator International Award from 926 proposals. The final project was completed by Hyder Consulting, part of Arcadis NV, and Al Rostamani Pegel was its principal contractor. The designer has alleged that he had his intellectual property stolen and was denied credit for the design. The project idea was initially conceived by Fernando Donis, and selected as the winner of a design competition by an international jury. The building mainly serves as an observatory, providing views of old Dubai in the north and newer parts in the south. The building has a height of 150.24 meters and a width of 95.53 meters. It holds the record for the largest frame in the world. The Dubai Frame ( Arabic: برواز دبي) is an observatory, museum, and monument in Zabeel Park, Dubai.
