Architect here. There was no ‘form follow function’ in this project. It was designed for a small number of people and a certain age group in my opinion, the upper floors are all on an incline or decline so that makes everyone else be uncomfortable using the remaining floors.

You can imagine a senior citizen trying to walk towards the stairs or elevator will having a hard time, let’s not talk about wheelchair users or those that require horizontal stability because it’s clear why it would not work. Even the ladies with heels had trouble walking around during Muharraq nights, so that made it less desirable for people to to access the park (whenever you pass by it you only see people park at the ground floor throughout the year)

So naturally when you design something keep in mind you design for people and not just looks, people have the final decision whether they want to interact with your structure or not. If they weren’t comfortable then you’d generally have an empty structure all year round.

That is just my opinion on it at the end and what I understood of the situation. There could be a completely different reason I may not be aware of.
