I'm sure I made a thread for this a few months back. Where did it go? :koko:

Rendering does not show.

[malec]

Oops, sorry. Here it is:

Great design, too bad it looks short for its height. Would look better if both halves were done in green glass.

[williamphilapa]

Nice building. How many off those phantom buildings in the rendering are under construction as well?

It'll probably be thinner in reality though.

A lot. All the towers surrounding this one have been announced I think. Most of them are under construction now, a lot are at ground level, some coming up out of the ground now (like almas tower), and some are really on their way and gaining height

[Fabb]

I've seen this building in a recent book on Dubai's recent architecture. Very promising.

Same concrete columns as TTChicago. Only bigger.

[SteelCity15]

awesome looking. Can't wait for it to be done. It seems like Dubai is blossoming big time.

[Calgarian]

Where is the money for all these projects comming from? Didn't the UAE run out of oil?

[Dalton]

Oh great.

A new Sharper Image Ionic Breeze air cleaner is coming out and someone decided to immortalize it as a 100 story skyscraper.

[Lecom]

^If this project was going up anywhere but Dubai, people would be praising it for its innovative and symbolic design.

Sarcasm aside, it doesn't have 100 stories.

80, maybe ?

[hoosier]

Do we have to have this question asked again? Let's just enjoy the great buildings going up around Dubai.

[Calgarian]

Do we have to have this question asked again? Let's just enjoy the great buildings going up around Dubai.

Yes you do, and I can pretty much guarantee that someone else will ask it again. The buildings look great now, but i hear rumours that they are cheaping out on the materials, so what will they look like in 10 years?

Dubai is absolutely kicking ass! I NEED to visit.

[SteelCity15]

Wow another amazing piece of Dubai going up. By 2010, it's gonna look absolutely astonishing.

^ That's prettiful

[aluminum]

The last images are freakin' me out. They are trying to build the whole city in a few years. Damn ! Dubai is hot [ not because of 44 degree Celsius but otherwise]

[StatenIslander237]

http://i11.tinypic.com/5x57llz.jpg


OK, does anyone else find this image a little scary. Dubai went from Jackson Hole in the desert to Miami on steroids. jeeezz

[com.koenig]

^^ right. every pictures of dubai tremendous development, all those unreal "hundreds of cranes surrounding raw half high-rises structures standing on the sand" shots make me scary, impressed and wondering.
plus the speed at which they build them... no wonder with systems like the 8mn cladding... wow, they could clad the whole thing in a few days with 2 workers by floor...
damn, is dubai really located on the earth ?
by the way, this project and the index are total different vision of high-rises architecture (angles & concrete vs curbs & glass) but i like them both equally. will have to wait for completion to fix my fav one.

I can't figure out the location of this beautiful tower.
How far is it from BD/Rose Rotana Hotel ?

awesome Pictures IMRE. Loving all your UAE updates:tup: Any idea when the unicorn horn will be added?

[Fabb]

That's what I suspected.
20 km away, that's like another city.
I hope that very soon there will be a rapid transit system between the different clusters of skyscrapers.

[FastFerrari82]

this is a great building...wounder why so few comments on it...unique design along with the flower like base...the facade isnt bad at all either...and just high enough to punch out of the ever increasing skyline...a marvel it is.:tup:
