wow ,. cool and thanks for the effort ) much appreciated

Wow, I can't believe how much hi-rise construction is going on in that part of the world. Most of the countries are not dealing with a large population. I wonder where all the materials and workers come from? Should be quite an impressive array of buildings in the future. Thanks Larogue, and welcome to the forum.

Damn, we here about all the projects being built in Dubai, but what about Kuwait! Wow!
BTW, anyone have renderings of the WT building proposed for Kuwait or was that BS? |
Amazing stuff!
|
cool pics :)
|
looks like Kuwait is going to build skyscrapers like Dubai. Maybe we wil get a Burj Kuwait ;) exiting....
|
Even more daring than Dubai. It's hard to rank these things, though Al Hamrah is striking me as the most spectacular building under construction in the world right now.
:uhh: BTW-Wherever did that Parkhaven come from again?? |
Im not all too familiar with this region of the world other than it has vast oil wealth. Is that the driving force behind all these projects? What other ecomonic factors would require such a high level of development, especially in such expensive tall towers? I live in Calgary the energy capital of Canada. The high oil prices have created a strong demand for office space, but definetely not on the level seen in the middle east, and I was wondering why that is.
|
Al Hamra is amazing. Where will it be located exactly? Does anyone have pics from the construction site?
|
It's Located in Sharq, Kuwait
Here are some recent pictures http://www.geocities.com/n_marafi/DSCN3872.JPG http://www.geocities.com/n_marafi/DSCN3873.JPG http://www.geocities.com/n_marafi/DSCN3874.JPG http://www.geocities.com/n_marafi/DSCN3876.JPG http://www.geocities.com/n_marafi/DSCN3877.JPG |
I forgot to mention that the whole project consists of a parking lot, shopping mall and the tower

Thx for the pix. :)

Kuwait Business Town
The vision for this design attempts to create two tower forms which visually interact with each other as they move upward into the sky creating a dynamic Gateway to the development. Each tower begins at the base as a rectangular floor plate from which the main and side façade twist inwards toward the central plaza. The rear and minor side façade remain at a right angle with each other as this is where the core is located. The resulting play of two minor facades remaining at a right angle while the other two major facades twisting inward will create a dynamic ‘dueling’ interplay of two tower forms that will be strong, unique and unmatched in Kuwait. http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/2130/kbtlargmo6.jpg http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/4674/kbt15xm.jpg http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/8064/kbt22nw.jpg http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/7091/kbt35lx.jpg http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/953/kbt42ks.jpg http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/7894/kbt59uo.jpg KEO |
