i had the weird first impression that it was a bunch of modernized san gimigiano towers stacked together.

am not really a fan of this design, but i don't think it's as tacky as the supertall in mecca. it does need a little tweaking in the grouping of the uppermost setbacks and perhaps a little bigger dome, if they really want to proceed with an arabic-inspired supertall.

my favourite tower, and the best part of it is its Name.

It looks like it should be build in Disneyland.

I hope those Floors won't be farther removed.

i think its the awkward and questionable crown coupled with the two conflicting styles used that make this tower atrocious.

djlx2 · #67 Posted: **Apr 12, 2011, 8:35 PM**

There is an opinion on this. Does anyone perhaps understand why this building was designed this way?

I laughed out loud the first time I saw this...when I stopped rolling around on the floor and realized it was an actual proposal, well:

When it comes to snap on, LEGO-esque PoMo mosque-like Sears Tower tall-o-rama, this tower takes home the prize. For aesthetics in general, this tower looks like it needs to stay on hold indefinitely.

I'm sure it will look very imposing and quite striking it real life when they build it, but looking at the pictures...a little bit of sick came out!

I wonder if actual construction ever even started, not just excavation or site work?

I think the piling was finished and then it went on hold.

One of the ugliest buildings i've ever seen, this and the new Mecca clock tower...

The Burj Khalifa is the only attractive skyscraper in the Mid east IMO]

EDIT: Tacky, that's the word I was lookng for, yes it's really really tacky

Sky Tower · #74 Posted: **Oct 25, 2011, 11:11 AM**

Actually, the more I look at the renders...the more it grows on me!

scalziand · #75 Posted: **Jan 29, 2012, 10:01 PM**

The site's been filed in and flooded since at least may last year.

A bit tacky, but it has some classic elements in it and the base looks very oriental in style. Looks like several skyscrapers merged together as one, but Sears Tower also has a bit of that look.

It is a shame that right now, the people with the greatest desire to build tall, have the worst taste.

Zapatan · #78 Posted: **Feb 4, 2012, 11:03 PM**

^Well this building's probably not getting built anyway so it's ok.
