Wow, those renderings are really spectacular. I'd have to agree...the best i have ever sen as well. The buildings arn't too shabby, i just dont like the wind turbines.:tup:

[R@ptor]

These towers are definitely among my favorite 5 buildings currently u/c anywhere in the world. The wind engines will produce between 11 and 15 percent of the total electrical consumption of the building so it will also be a really environmentally friendly building.


BTW: For those who don't know...Bahrain is the name of the country. The towers are located in Manama, which is the capital of Bahrain.

[Stephenapolis]

Wow! That will be stunning once it is complete. The wind turbines are a great idea too.

[Jularc]

Those are defenetly some of the best buildings I have seen. I really like those wind turbines.

[giallo]

Awesome.

[sciguy0504]

Love them.

[colemonkee]

Great buildings. I had no idea they were this far along. And the wind turbines will be great for the environment, unless you are a hapless bird...

[Thefigman]

Nice looking complex. I actually like the turbines.

Amazing, yes. I had no idea they were that close to the water. Should be great when viewed from a boat.

thanks for the renderings slugbech and i enjoy all your updates, i was wondering where these wind turbins were going to go in.

[Lecom]

Buildings are extremely impressive. Not sure about the fans, they take away from the vertical design and make the buildings look stouter, but the idea is still cool as hell.

[NEWNANGuy]

i think this may be the neatest high rise project in the entire world right now. i love the design of the building, i love the name of the project (and what it symbolizes) and i love the wind turbines. i love that it's an attractive Green building, many of them have been ugly with stupid gardens on them. im sorry, skyscrapers shouldnt have parks or gardens on them.....this is a smart way to go. attractive to the eye, yet functionally green! LOVE IT

[malec]

I also love these buildings

[Thskyscraper]

Spectacular. The wind turbines don't mess up the overall apperance either. The buildings seem to be aerodynamic so that should help in making the tubines as functional as can be.

^^ :happysad: Umm, right.

There are loads of world trade centres around the world

[malec]

Not really related to this project but here's a new 3-tower complex to be built in Bahrain financial harbour. I have to say this and the WTC wipes the floor with almost any other project going up in the world :eek:

[DUBAI2015]

3 months without an update. For all we know it could be finished.

[Slugbelch]

Yeah, not much interest over here. In fact, not much interest in M.E. buildings in general. I have always thought that this was a beautiful design, so lets see how far they have come:

Some of the area looks like it is done:

Nice updates. For awhile it looked like this building was moving real slow. I think it is looking fantastic.

[Biff]

For some reason, i haven't quite figured it out yet..i really, really like these buildings (the pointy ones with the wind turbines, not the other twins). I think that they turned out beautifully. Interesting city!

[MolsonExport]

^I share your opinion!

[GTviajero81]

I have visited Bahrain many times and I truly love that country. Beautiful buildings, safe environment, things to actually do. Can't wait to go back. :) Thanks for the photo updates!

[Austinlee]

Great building. The shape is unique and the turbines are beautiful.

[Kingofthehill]

Exactly! I caught that too! I haven't seen this thread yet, but wow, ripping off pictures of another building?

[Aleks]

Maybe they were inspired by that building?

[detmi7mile]

i like it :)

[nickkoto]

For anyone who gets the National Geographic channel, there's a documentary of the construction showing right now and it'll re-air again in a few hours.

[Aleks]

I watched that too. It was a good show. And they explained everything really well.
