Mah! bon, you're actually not the only one to have that kind of feelings at those renderings. I'm seeing a comment in French saying it looks like a windstorm has unstuck and crumpled the cladding, except that Dubai never came to the guy's mind...

I remember reading that renderings of Jean Nouvel's firm are usually accurate, so if that thing is ever built... well, that should pretty much be it.
As a starchitect, Nouvel is likely of guys who like trying hard to be outstanding somehow, but it's not necessarily wrong, is it?

Here's the best alternate design for the same project, but this is a loser of Christian de Portzamparc.

Heck, I should finally take a closer look at Dubai. Is it so bad like exclusively made of crap? nah, it must rather feel factitious cause it's all too recent. I swear I don't even care about it, focusing on my good old Paris and the West.
