Yes the designs are different, but the overall style seems to look all the same and no longer does on building stand out. One thing that makes good architecture is one piece standing out from the rest. Just afraid the designers are getting carried away with the Jorge Jetson look.
Yes I agree that the styles of the buildings are pretty similar. I don't like how some of those towers look almost the same, ie: najd tower, princess tower, marina gardens and rotana hotel all look the same. As I said on SSC it's ok for 150m towers to look the same but not for 300m ones.
Within that list however, there are plenty of great designs too such as burj dubai, almas tower, al durrah, burj al arab, etc... which I feel will stand out for more than just because of height.
